Kirbtober Day 13 : Spin-off

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.

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..."

Not only this is beautiful, but the signification of the card show an interesting part of Galacta. Tarot rambling time !

So, technically, there's no hearts in divination tarot. But the heart of a classic card game are linked with the suit of cups in tarot. Cups talk about the emotions, and are associated with the element of water. On the other hand, the 4 usually mean stability, stagnation or security. Intentionally or not, this is a number that resonate strongly with Galacta's story, especially the stagnation part.

Four of hearts (cups) represent serenity and calm, but also boredom. It can represent daily routine, lack of evolution. Those more negative aspects of the card resonates a lot with Galacta. In my own kirby tarot interpretation, I actually choose (sealed) Void has the four of hearts. The reason was also partially because of the four heart spears, but the symbolism can resonate with this character too.

Anyway, I should really motivate myself to do this kirby tarot. Thanks for the beautiful drawing OP !

four of hearts

Oh wow j'ai pas partagé d'icônes depuis octobre alors que j'en ai fait plein les trois derniers mois. Erm. Bon bah voilà un avant dernier batch ! Je vais peut-être proposer d'en faire en commissions, mais pour l'instant j'ai (normalement) terminé celles que j'avais prévues, donc on verra ce qui se passera ensuite !

Beaucoup de personnages secondaires de LMS ici, même si tous ne sont pas au même niveau d'importance. Tout d'abord Baahli, un jeune serviteur enjoué, puis Sorora et Corus, deux personnages mystérieux aux motivations floues. S'ensuivent Héliodore, Erryn et Seelyn, un couple et leur fille qui ne sont pas toujours très sympathiques, avec certains qui sont plus de bonne volonté que d'autres. Les sept derniers sont juste différents designs d'Hayat, un.e shapeshifter qui n'apparaît jamais deux fois sous les mêmes traits. Iel est l'ombre d'Ahmad et Duha et toujours prêt.e à aider nos personnages principaux, en plus d'avoir un certain lien avec Mérédine.

Mon dessin de Simon/Simeon/Ademar etc de l'autre jour m'a vraiment éclatée du coup j'ai décidé de refaire le même genre de principe mais avec des OCs. L'idée générale est d'avoir le miroir qui représente l'apparence et ce qu'il y a derrière qui représente la réalité.

Les quatre premiers sont de La Marque Sanglante ; Lei est probablement celle qui se cache le moins, mais beaucoup voient une personne sereine et sage alors qu'elle est bien plus agressive et sanguine qu'il n'y paraît. Calaen est vu comme cette magique surhumaine et sanguinaire alors que derrière il y a un simple bébou. Ahmad est un prophète craint et respecté, mais au fond ce n'est qu'un jeune garçon. Et Duha est une personne enjouée et fleurie qui étouffe dans son rôle beaucoup trop strict... Ou bien la personne dans le miroir serait-elle une toute autre personne ?

Ensuite, les personnages de Terne, honnêtement, se prêtaient plus au jeu. Kelis, tout particulièrement, entre son apparemment calme serein, la terreur et la peine derrière, les horreurs dramatiques, tout ça dissimulant une rage noire qu'il renferme sans cesse. Cyan, la mercenaire métamorphe, qui a vécu des centaines de vies toutes plus fausses les unes que les autres. Alian, le combattant déterminé qui encore maintenant refuse d'admettre qu'il est une victime. Et Fir, ce mage d'eau imposant respecté, mais dont la vie est faite de grisaille et de vide.

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

Taking a nap together

I'm in a stressful period, so I made some a Kirby-Ribbon-Fluff with color pencils. I turned out so soft and relaxing !

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 2 : Revenge

Perhaps not really original, but I like how the perspective turned out ! Always funny to make dynamic compositions with round blobs

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 !
