Kirbtober day 31 : Darkness

" Darkness has its place just as much as light […]. For the stars sparkled twice as bright in the depths of space ! " (Kirby mass attack)

AKA kirby hugs everything, including the embodiment of darkness, because he's a pure soul of poyo.

Would you belive me if I said I wasn't inspired at first for the word of the day ? But, hey, I love how it turned out ! I used a mix of watercolors for the background and acrylics for the characters and the stars. It had some strange effects, like the watercolor poping out of a -supposedly- waterproof layer of acrylic.

This kirbtober was really fun to make ! I started it at the end of jully, and I finished the last drawing yesterday. What a trip ! I probably won't do it next year, or at least not the kirby-themed one. It was a great way to start posting things online !

Also, I saved a picture of just the background :

Kirbtober day 30 : Soul

I noticed there where a big lack of Morpho in my kirbtober. I imagine him as some sort of guardian of the souls ? You can even recognise some characters butterly-ified. Can you guess who is who ?

Kirbtober day 29 : Treat

Sometimes, I want to draw epic scenes and cosmic battles. And other times, I just want to give our favorite little blob some candy to share with his friends. He deserve it

Thanks you so much !!!

Actually, it's watercolors ! It kinda looks like pencils, but it's way smoother on bigger surfaces. Also the black background is made out of acrylics, to obtain the darkest color posible

Yes, i'm doing watercolor propaganda, but seriously it's like pencils but better. I just can't go back now. And with little palette and a reservoir brush, it very transportable !

Kirbtober day 23 : Wish

"I just wished to see her one last time..."

Kirbtober day 28 : Final boss

No matter what you're drawing, if it has a black background, it become instantly 10 time cooler. And I added some glitter too ! The real fight for me was to no put it everywhere in my room

Kirbtober day 27 : Control

At first, I wasn't planning on making gijinkas for the kirbtober, but this image was stuck in my head, and I had to let it out. I love imagining the master crown's spirit his a little evil gremlin.

Bonus : The gold is shiny !

Kirbtober day 26 : Moon

It's tarot card day ! I made a list of wich kirby character should be associated with wich tarot arcana a while ago, and it's finaly time to use it. Meannings and interpretation of the card under the cut !

The arcana of the moon means dream, inconscious and illusions. I associated it with the dark matter species, with the idea of inners fears and darkness. It's not the most fitting card, but it's actually hard to find an arcana that's only negative in the tarot system. So, here it is, if you have others ideas, feel free to share !

Also, this card is usually connected with the second major arcana, the hight prietress. She is supposed to be the guardian of the secrets of the moon. In my kirby tarot interpretation, she is represented by the fairy queen... Who is precisely hiding the fact that she's possed by 02. (She has other connections with this arcana, but i think this post is long enough has it already is.).

Maybe I'll do the rest of the cards someday, but first, I'll finish the kirbtober !

Kirbtober day 25 : Epilogue

Ok, with this one I went straight up to "How many biblical symbolism can I put in a kirby drawing ?" and the answer is quite a lot. Meanings under the cut, if you're interested

Ok, so first of all, I a not christian, I made recherches for this drawing but I'm not a expert. Don't hesitate to correct me if I'm worng !

I went with the most known figure of a repentant sinner, Mary Magdalene. She is an ancient prostitute who latter became one of the most close friend of Jesus. She have a lot of attributes I couldn't put here without making it look strange (like long hair, a human skull or a ointment jar), but I managed to show some.

For exemple, it is said that Jesus made "7 devils" go out of her. Still, it's unclear if those devils are symbolising deaseses or sins. Anyway, that's the reason I put 7 frut fragments insted of the 5 you have to get in the game.

Also, her two main color are the red and the green. What is interesting with those is that they can represent vitality and rebirth (respectively), but in the same time they are associated with the devil.

The thorns represent sins, with the apples gems to reinforce this idea, and add some red.

The tower represent spiritual elevation, and is inspired by the architectural elements we can see in the hub of magolor epilogue. The color of the sky behind have the same signification. The bottom is dark, while the top is more blue, blue being the color of spiritual enleignmant. And also the purple and gold relief behind magolor is here to mimic an aureole. So he is litteraly rising from the darkness toward the light.

And lastly, during my reserches, I learned that the colors of wears associated with repentence are brown and grey. Yep, I didn't even had to change that. Coincidence ? Who knows ! Hal seems to love putting obscure meanings where you expect it the least

Kirbtober day 24 : Another dimension

I had already drawn another dimension in the cutescene redraw day. So here, Magolor is trying to explain kirby lore to kirby (he probably won't get it the first time). Elfilin is here to help too !

Kirbtober day 23 : Wish

"I just wished to see her one last time..."

Kirbtober day 22 : Ship

It's a ship... On a (space)ship ! Of course, I had to this bad joke, sorry

Kirbtober day 21 : Rival

Of course, the two best frennemies for today ! I tried to use color pencils to achieve a more comic book effect for this one. I like the result, althought I coudn't make the background as smooth as with watercolors. Maybe I sould try to mix the two next time ?

Kirbtober day 20 : Retro

Retro gaming session with friends ! Carreful Gooey, Fluff is gonna lose a live if you move like that !

Kirbtober day 19 : AU

Does the dreamy gear series count as an AU ? I mean, it's technically a steampunk universe, right ? It's also a good excuse to draw Elfilin with a little cape and a hat !

Kirbtober day 18 : Mirror

Just a little Taranza and dark Taranza for today !

Kirbtober day 17 : Galaxy

I wasn't really inspired for this one. I just thought : Galacta… Galaxy… That's close, let's just fuse the two together. Although, I like how it turned out without lineart

Kirbtober day 16 : Overgrown

I think you can gess it now, but I did almost all my kirbtober drawings way to in advance. And this one. Took me. So. Much. Time.

This time I think I succeed with the blue light effect. And also I managed to make Sectonia's details almost 100% accurate to how she appear in the games.

Everything for my first and favorite final boss !

Kirbtober day 15 : Cutscene redraw

I decided to go with this cutscene from return to dream land... And WTF append with the colors ? I tried a blue-ish light effect, but I don't really like the result. Well, guess you can't like everything you do...

Kirbtober day 14 : Miracle

I never played kirby 64, but I still find this boss interesting. Now, I know what an icosaedron is ! I had to bring out my old dice of 20 for the model. Even with that I'm not drawing this kind of geometric shape ever again.

Kirbtober day 13 : Spin-off

Okay, I have so many feeling about this game. First, it's the closest thing we have from a kirby RPG. I played it with my friends. And also I spent waaay to many hours grinding it. I almost 100% cleared it without spending money or cheating ! And then... I accidentaly corrupted my whole SD cartdrige. While drawing this. Errr, it was kinda hard to stay motivated after that !

(I found old backup of my 2ds, but I lost almost 10 hours of entering the game 2 minutes every 12 or 24 hours just to have some apple gems. So... In cheating we go !)

Kirbtober day 12 : Clone / Copy

I have only played the beggening of kirby'dream land 3, but I have heard of thoses strange kirby-like monsters, the batamons. Also, it gave me the opportunity do draw Pitch !

Kirbtober day 11 : Favorite character

Me : Hum, what's my favorite character of the kirby universe ? There're so much I like...

Also me : WTF, you spent 100 hours making a morpho cosplay, why are even wondering about that

(still need to do proprers photos of it, by the way)

Kirbtober day 10 : Mechanical

Kirby's robobot armor was making wierd noises... Hopefully, Plugg is here to help him repair it !

Kirbtober day 9 : Magic

There's plenty of magic things in the kirby universe but nah, I just drew kirby learning card tricks from magolor. I'm pretty sure he knows some of these.

Kirbtober day 8 : Phantom

I coudn't decide wich phantom boss choose for this one. So... I just drew them all ! It was also a nice color exercise, since they all have almost the same color palette

Kirbtober day 7 : Copy ability

Okay, I spent way too much time on this one, but it was really funny to make. All regular copy ability, and some final boss ones are in this picture, minus one. Can you find wich ? And also a shadow kirby because why not.

Kirbtober day 6 : Ancien

I personaly LOVE this one ! Plus, the word ancien is present in two different ways in this drawing. It's an ancient event, about discovering an ancien artifact. And in sepia tones !

Just a little Zelda from Echoes of wisdom ! I actually started drawing it before the game was released, and I finised it just now. Haven't played the game yet.

Kirbtober day 5 : Royal

Dedede is a king, yeah, but don't forget Fluff ! He is a prince to ! Also, yarn kirby is too cute not to draw

Kirbtober day 4 : headcanon

It's a very common trope in the kirby fandom, but those two characters never canonically interacted with each other. I love to imagine them having a sibling relationship
