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 10 : Mechanical
Kirby's robobot armor was making wierd noises... Hopefully, Plugg is here to help him repair it !
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...
Yay! Sky was given fluffy blankets as a gift from his caring fans! (He looks so comfortable!) ^^ 🩶
Pixel Art animation !
It was the first time for me making pixel art ! I'm myself surprised of how good it turned out for a first try.
I had to do this for an entrance exam for an art school, and it took me almost 3 weeks from start to finish. Full time, between 3 hours, but mostly 6 or 7 hours per day, 7 days per week (while having classes).
I actually used blender to make the camera move. I animated a really simple scene, with balls to represent the firefly and the frog and only marks on the ground for the background. I rendered my 3D animation, and then used the images as a reference to draw in 2D. Wich mean... 60 frames, traced and colored by hand. Whelp, my poor wrist suffered...
I also had to include 15 color max (well, the color of the signature doesn't count). It really sets a pretty atmosphere !
(The school accepted me, by the way)
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 !
Back on my portrait with jewels bullshit, can you believe I didn't have one of Kelis yet?
