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 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 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
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..."
Wanted to try and give Gooey some clothes that suit him better. Really love the concepts at the bottom
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 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 !
More pen doodles
Need to learn to be loose & make mistakes
I made a custom Tarot card for Nightmare
And a Monochrome alt
(Link to the previous card down here)
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 ?
