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 !
J'ai fait quelques autres icones depuis la dernière fois ! Un Blue Spirit mal nettoyé (shhh on dira qu'on a rien vu), un Fogado parce que j'aime bien sa tenue de repos, un Raha trop mignon comme toujours, une Rhea ultra stylée mais tellement longue et compliquée à dessiner que sans rire si je l'avais facturée elle serait montée à 35 euros, un Robin Hood de Fate, et un petit OC parce que j'avais envie, Khea un jeune homme en grand manque de vitamine D.
Kirbtober day 18 : Mirror
Just a little Taranza and dark Taranza for today !
I made a custom Tarot card for Nightmare
And a Monochrome alt
(Link to the previous card down here)
A little crossover between Kirby and Houseki No Kuni / Land of the lustrous !
It's a bit hard to do a cristal effect with watercolors, but it kinda worked. I may try to use acrylics if I do Bandee, Meta and Dedede ! (I already have some ideas for them)
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 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 :
