first time drawing them!!!
it didn’t take me long but here’s the process for those who are interested because I’m still proud of how it looks!
the fucking bird that i love

That's just my nickname for them. First seeing Buddy, I thought these three could have been good friends. Not replacing Junior, to make it clear. I just think, Buddy deserves more of friends.
Ramblings below. With Spoilers.
I need more Brothership, that game was AMAZING. I've been into Mario and Luigi since 2014, with BIS as my first game. I love the combat, the story, the characters, like this is my type of game.
The only lacking part was boss density. All Extension Corps members should had gotten individual fights, so the player can get quite the surprise on how they work as a unit, like the Mage Sisters. But that's my main gripe.
Is wild it's made by the developers of Octopath Traveler. I didn't know until after beating the game. I've played both entries; so, knowing them, it causes quite the shock. But the soul of Mario and Luigi it's still there. I hope to see what more could they do with the series.
Anyway, I have a feeling that there could be DLC, despite neither Octopath, nor Mario and Luigi getting those as far as a I remember. There are a few things I perceive as loose ends.
Mainly what Arc tells you before storming Fortress Zokket again, that if we navigate all currents, something good might happen. Of course, I passed through all of my remaining dark blue currents and... nothing. Is just, what is the purpose of that line of dialogue? Am I the only one hung up on that text?
Another thing is Dewy Fightem, still saying that he will continue his monster research after defeating Glohm Pipegunk and disappearing from Shipshape after beating the final boss. It would be cool to get rematches with the final stretch bosses.
Another thing, I would be nice to be able to find Patriarc at some point, even if optional. Dude disappears from the story, and I just kept expecting him to show up. He only does in the credits.
Reviewing them again, maybe not the best "evidence", but I can dream. Besides, they could at least do a post-game with the tree Connie gives Mario at the end.
Well thanks I you got here. Have an extra sketch. I might do something out of it someday.

Slay the Princess is my latest obsession. May a bit out of place compared to everything else I ever made art for. It is NOT for general audiences and it's a horror game.
I knew about the game months ago when coming across a video essay about it. I was mildly intrigued with its story, but I don't play horror games as I get easily scared.
But curiosity got the best of me and come the Pristine Cut, I decided to play it near Halloween. I was a delight. It helped that it being a visual novel let me take things at my own pace.
I knew all the story's twists and endings, but the interactions with the Princess and the banter between the voices and the Narrator was entertaining and novel. Figuring out which decisions lead me to which path also kept me engaged.
Still, I think it's best to play blind.
Lemonade - WIP
This is for a comic I'm working on. Decided to post the "title card" since I haven't done anything in a while (I finished it in the 19th).
It's simple but if you know the OG FOP and my previous posts, you might have a rough idea of what this is about.
I think I'll make it full color and all, so I don't think I will finish this anytime soon. Hopefully around the time the show comes out on Netflix considering college and my other project.

also,i got heavily inspired by a long sweet music video and the background,i leave this there cause it deserves its credit for the inspiration,i listened to it while drawing too ^^💕
So, before the show's season finale, I was thinking of posting new designs for Dev, hopping he will get to keep Peri and redeem himself. I'm not very knowledgeable in fashion, but I just love coming up with new outfits for characters, especially when there's story significance.
In this case, Dev's current design is very similar to his awful dad, so of course him wearing something else is to distance himself. An as you can see, I also adopted the theory of his hair being naturally curly, though I admit I don't have much experience drawing different hair textures.
Ramble below.
I also made a few references to other media I like. The Red Son one was a no-brainer, they are both voiced by Kyle McCarley. They are also looking for parental approval, are good handling technology (not to the same degree) and are red heads. I wasn't sure if adding the ponytail or not.
The Asriel one is actually inspired by a piece of fanart someone else made, where Dev was dressed as Chara instead. Why? I kind of have been drawing comparisons Ariel/Flowey's fate in the True Pacifist ending and Dev in the end of the first season. Both did awful things (not to the same degree), but then undid it knowing they will end up alone due to someone else showing they care for them.
No one knows what Flowey/Asriel did but him, Frisk and the player; while everyone that saw it knows what Dev did but himself (or so it seems) and his dad.
For the serious designs, I wanted the outfits to convey Dev's affinity for technology, but without the sanitized look of his first season appearance, aka less white. I also wanted to do something different from Hazel, Winn and Jasmine. I wasn't sure if just changing the color of the hoodie, but I thought of the turtleneck shirt he wears.
I also removed the boots, for obvious reasons. I'm not good at keeping characters height consistent, so I'm not sure how tall he'll stand next to the others.
I emphasized yellow as his color in a good deal of the fits. I essentially just changed the amount of color his design has. I think yellow could go well, it's complementary with Peri's purples. Is close but different from white. I saw the swap AU where he and Hazel where fairies and I liked the designs.
And there's certain character significance, I want to explain with another comic. I just like this electric lemon hue
I also put an edgier design in the corner for a potential scenario and added an "Assistant" Peri design that I mentioned in my previous post.
A little self-indulgent comic I made to cope with A New Wish's season finale. SPOILERS
The night after watching the episode, I immediately thought scenarios for Dev and Peri to reunite. I already liked Hazel's and Dev's friendship, but him getting Peri honestly made things more interesting since he'll get more involved in the show.
Dev losing Peri devastated me, since that also meant losing his memory. I was kind of expecting it due knowing the other show the writers worked on (Infinity Train, which I love). This is the second season finale to mess me up this much, in fact.
This was the first scenario I came up with, based on other's ideas on how Peri could be present to Dev as a human. I also added the theory that Dev didn't get his memory erased. I made Peri wear something that fitted the role of babysitter (in my opinion). An alternative would be Dale's new assistant/intern, in which he'll used the same clothes as his fairy form, but with a bow tie and the wand pen.
I sort of rushed the dialogue and made it quite cheesy near the end. I didn't want it to be too long as I want to make more fan art for the show, but also finish my months long project.
Another scenario I liked was that Dev (with memories intact) is secretly sabotaging Project H and his selfless deeds allow him to get Peri back, may be after a legal dispute in the Fairy Court.
I wanted to design my own emotions. Here are the main five.
When making the designs, I wanted to make them distinct from me and each other, including not making all of the same gender as me, like Riley's emotions. I still gave them some of my traits and items I own IRL to also not make them too detached from me.
Here are the emotions introduced in the second film.
I'm aware that my design for Anxiety is very similar to Riley's, to be honest I just like her design.
Some bit of trivia that has stuck with me about the first movie, is that in early drafts Fear was the one to travel with Joy instead of sadness, even becoming the bad guy at some point. I was an easily scared child, so the conflict between those emotions did resonate with me. So, I explored that dynamic with mine.
So last year I got back into Littlest Pet Shop (2012), a series that I haven't watched since 2015 due to only being able to access it through online uploads.
Still after all those years, I'm still quite fond of it and the characters. Anyway, I had a sketch lying around for an entire year and decided to finally finish the art piece.
Normally I sketch the characters on paper until I understand their proportions and small details, but I was struggling with this. Case in point, this is how I left the sketch a year ago:
I guess attempting to draw other characters during the break helped out a lot.
A few warmups I've done as a finish my semester in college. A lot of characters I've never drawn before in digital.
In some of the drawings I wanted to experiment with my brushes and try a different coloring technique with Kirby.
I also wanted to try imitating the particle effect on the Inside Out characters, though I guess I didn't quite achieve it.
The Magolor Collab was a collab I got the honor to be a part of. I made the piece above, the fight against Lor EX.
Go check the whole collab out! There's a lot of wonderful art from fantastic artists.

I just noticed a month had passed since Pikmin 4 released. I'm shocked that I've only been thinking about these little fellows for 30+ days straight.
Honestly I'm glad to finally had tried a game after getting into the series via the animated shorts and playthroughs.
Drew my two faves. I tried something slightly different.
So, I remembered I made this. Well, it's now complete!
I'm not surprised I got about half of them right. I mean, a lot where filler or just wild guesses. The one that shocked me the most was -SPOILERS- the Shopkeeper Magolor reference. Not that it happened, but how it was done.
All the way back in 2017, I theorized they were the same character; but I didn't expect for this remake to confirm it (though apparently it was revealed through a magazine to the Japanese fandom a while ago).
Anyway, I guess I did get BRAVO, depending on wherever you felt Extra Mode different enough... I mean, the changes are minimal. Putting more enemies instead of just resizing them. Even less food, making you rely more on souvenirs. I don't remember getting low in health THAT often.
Also, the Master Crown borrowing Marx's plant move and having iridescent rainbow counts as a reference to Magolor's "friend" as these are unique to him.
Our Space-Bending Chums!
I would love to see more art of these two in all sorts of dynamics.
I kind of seems like a random (not romantic) pairing. I guess that I can help but fixate in the similarities and differences between the two.
Currently, the two are at different ends of trustworthiness. But both seek friendship, particularly with Kirby. One sought for power, the other was sought to regain power. Both define a change or new era for the franchise. Elfilin is pure kindness, while Magolor nearly doomed himself in his hatred. Both are associated with dimensional rifts.
I wish for these two to become part of the main cast or at least stay recurring.
For the span of nearly a year, I’ve drawn all 72 Copy Abilities that appeared in the games and anime (plus a couple extras) to celebrate Kirby’s 30th Anniversary. I posted one on my Twitter account every five days.
Lost in between dimensions, he is but a shell of his former self...
I made a Bingo Card
Since we are a month away from the release of Return to Dream Land Deluxe, I decided to make this just for fun. Actually, I came up with this around October, but I guess is a good time to share. I added/changed a few things since then.
I had plenty of ideas, not only in the context of the previous remakes, but also regarding how the modern games had changed since RtDL. I would proceed to elaborate and rate the possibility, in my cautious opinion, that is.
1. DDD, BD & MK in hub when not used: Akin to how Ban Dee can be seen hanging in Waddle Dee Town. It could be both in the Lor and Magolor Land. I would be neat if you could also speak to them too. Chance: Possible
2. Use of originally cut content: As in stuff from the original game (not counting previous versions like GCN), like unused enemies appearing. Chance: Very unlikely, yet considering HR-D3...
3. GK fight outside the True Arena: Just wishful thinking. For the longest time I wanted to fight Galacta Knight outside the TA. IDK, the background always made me feel like he should be a secret boss hidden in Dangerous Dinner. Chance: Unlikely
4. New mode similar to HiAD & II:FD: Other case of wishful thinking. I might be asking too much, but I just like these epilogue modes; for instance, it could explore Magolor in the aftermath. Chances: Not very likely, but HiAD in SA’s final update does give me some hope.
5. Unlockable playable Magolor: That would be a cool reward, may be by getting certain scores in all the minigames, 100% or in the epilogue mode from the previous point. I mean, he was already made playable, and Festival is in the game. Chance: Possible
6. Translatable Halcandran Alphabet: I’m referring to the glyphs in the Lor’s screen. I remember seen a post expressing this same idea months ago. I think it would be cool to be able to compare the New World’s writing with Halcandran. We see shared characteristics among those and the symbols in Hyness’ clothes, but I want it to be expanded.
In a side note, I want for some words from that language too, we do see a few connections between the Switch game’s spoken languages, for example ‘Heart’ is ‘Haruda’ (‘Bastion’ in the EN localization) in SA and ‘Faruda’ in FL.
Anyway... Chances: Very unlikely
7. More Magolor!!!: Not need to elaborate. Chances: Already confirmed, but there always could be more.
8. New cutscenes related to main story: Specifying to not count the stuff related to the theme park. Anything that happens during or is consequence of the main story counts, like the potential GK encounter or epilogue mode, may be scenarios added to the repairing cutscenes akin to 64. Chances: Unlikely
9. New stuff connected to the ‘Ancients’: I’m including Hyness’ clan and the people from the New World under the term. Chances: Possible even if it’s something minor.
10. Dream Collection content: An old idea I decided to keep, with it I mean the New Challenge Stages and Magolor Race. Chances: Impossible by this point.
11. New pause descriptions for bosses: RtDL is so weird compared to the other modern games in many ways, an example: only a few bosses have pause desc. and they are relatively short, just like in SSU. I think this is a no brainer. Imagine if they remove them and pass them to masks, if that happens, I’ll still count them. Chances: Very likely
12. Updated movesets for DDD, BD and MK: The SA ones. Chances: Confirmed
13. Replace/change Extra Mode: I don’t hate this mode, it’s just weird with the other modern games in mind. I hope I don’t cause much contention; this was a filler idea. May be a little shake up, like a few new puzzles like in Isolated Isles. Chances: Unlikely
14. More allusions to Magolor’s ‘friend’: Though most agree its Marx, a few more hints won’t hurt. Now imagine if the acquaintance is a future character instead, since Mags has a time machine. Chances: Very unlikely
15. Option to customize/turn off outlines: I personally like them as part of the pop-up book aesthetic, but I’ve seen many hating them, so why not have a choice, at least alter thickness. Chances: Possible
16. Challenge Stages for newer abilities: Since they are new. Chances: Confirmed
17. New hidden rooms in MM and ExM: SA got some in the updates. Would be nice for those that already played the game. Chances: Possible
18. Chaos boss: Thinking about Marx Soul in SSU, I think it’s fitting to have this item happen even if everything else here doesn’t. With I’m just referring to a harder secret true final boss; may be another fight with Magolor, I’m also considering someone else, may be the crown alone? I dubbed it ‘Chaos’ to refer to something above ‘Soul’. Chances: Very Likely, though don’t get your hopes up.
19. Reference to RtDL’s beta versions: not counting the visuals or stuff from the original. Something like betalor being referenced in “Chaos Magolor” or something. Chances: Very Unlikely
20. Additional Stages in Main Mode: As in new whole stages, not just a room or two. May be even a whole new world. A big ask honestly. Chances: Unlikely
21. New Landia lore: Even though Landia appears in the Clash games, there really isn’t much about them besides being called a ‘Guardian Angel’, and they are not part of the main continuity. I’m just saying, this is a good opportunity. Chances: Possible
22. Voiced Adeleine by staff picked for SA: This just something I hope is the case, since a screenshot already confirms her mask has sound effects. It’s just nice seeing stuff cut from a previous entry finally being used. Chances: Very likely
23. Shopkeeper Magolor reference: This is filler, since SA already did that. Magolor is above canon after all. Chances: Possible
24. New well hidden Easter Egg: Possibly involving 86. May be cram in a third HAL Room? As long as most players don’t find out without checking a guide or by pure accident. Chances: Likely
To end this, which took me all night to write, I’ll mark the confirmed boxes. I don’t think I’ll get ‘BRAVO’, but this was fun to make.
Kirby’s 2022
A final farewell to 2022. What a year for this fandom, quite more eventful than usual.
