Description Finally, after what has felt like the end of time, I have finished this!!! And good lord am I proud of this one!   

Started this about 1.5-2 years ago probably now, and touched it off and on. Stopped for a while because I just wasn't satisfied with my knowledge on shading and lighting, and I really wanted more than what I was at the time achieving with this one. Very happy to say that waiting was a good idea! The improvement I see within myself with this piece is beyond what I could ask for right now! So happy to have this absolute monster done, because I'm tired of working on it lol! It tested me to my limits of artistic knowledge, but I'm so proud of it, and it feels like an amazing victory to see it complete! 

Also... living proof that I still love Meta Knight and Kirby lol! They've never been forgotten, and you'll still see them among my other stuff that I work on from time to time.   I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do!

Forreal tho, the textures, lighting, and color in this is to DIE for. Fantastic work!

OOOOOOH MY HECKING GOD

I SAW THIS IN MY NOTIFS AND THOUGHT FOR A SEC I WAS HALLUCINATING 

I'm so happy to see you've finished it!! And I see improvements in this, too! You must have worked really hard on it, even if you had to touch it on and off! Anatomically, his wing looks really good, both of them have such pretty freaking eyes aaaaaaaa!! AND THE LIGHTING, DUDE
CAN I TALK ABOUT THE LIGHTING
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE LIGHTING
Okay where do I ever start with this; you've got like... this really cool mix between two shading styles going here that I can see; one where it's cartoony, cell-shading kind of stuff with those big blobs of harder highlights and shadows, and then that's mixing with stuff that's blended really smoothly, and then you put in those grainy little sparkles!!! On Meta's cape and wings and HHHHH PRETTY

Not to mention your lovely background where it's all starry but still warm and the fact that this whole piece is made of actual fluff and whoops look at that I am dead
I died
This killed me
I love it

Seriously dude, BE proud! Be very proud of this; it's amazing! I can't wait to see more from you in the future, Kirby or otherwise! You've improved a ton and it's really evident to me in this piece!

Haha! Clearly you didn't properly prepare yourself when I posted that statues asking if everyone was ready for an art upload!! You didn't see it comin'!  

That wing better be anatomically correct lol! I work hard on proper wing anatomy because wings just need that! But I just... love drawing wings honestly so I don't mind at all...Especially Meta's and making them a lot larger then they are canonically. The bigger the better... 
And yes, the eyes. Definitely a core element imo. I love smashing as much life as I can into their eyes, and I just can't get over my eye style for Meta Knight. Same shape idea as Kirby, but noticeably a little more squared off, and of course, I had to make them on the larger side to blatantly contrast with his personality lol. No one would expect a face like that to be hiding under that mask.  
AND FOR GOSH SAKE, THE EFFORT IN THE LIGHTING AND SHADING BETTER SHOW!!! I THREW TOO MUCH TIME INTO THIS TO BE UNSATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS, SO... ADBNDFLSFHAS!!!!! THANK YOU!!! I AM MOST CERTAINLY PROUD OF THIS ONE!!

And no dying on my watch!!! Even if it's fluff and love!!! I need other Kirby nerds to share my feels with lol...

I DIDN'T, YOU'RE RIGHT

Dude it looks really good!! Wings are very important and YES they are so fun to draw!! And they gotta be huge, so you're 100% right on all points XD As always, eyes are by far one of the most important parts of a piece imo. Yesss give Meta the ginormous eyes please XD I am shameless and I will support orbs with giant eyeballs every day of the week. Give me the cute. I need it. I'm sure he'd be very bothered by our comments about how adorable he is, but too bad for him XD
DUDE IT SHOWS! IT REALLY REALLY DOES, YOU DID EXCELLENTLY, MY GOD!! YOU ARE SO VERY WELCOME AAA I'M HAPPY FOR YOU
no promises, death awaits us all XD But the power of Kirby will keep me alive for a good long while, I know that much XD

Yuuusss!!! More cute! I'll definitely be drawing him massless more so we can see his cute face. And yes, he'd be bothered for sure, but too bad. I love him lol. Plus my version of Meta honesty needs some extra love and reassurance, because his life has been absolute crap, so please give him extra hugs and kisses and tell him he's cute as much as you want!

My body is ready... Allllll the cute pls
Lol yup too bad for him, I'm not stopping anytime soon XD I'm sure he'll get over it. Maybe.
I am very willing to provide. I will save the baby. Give him cuddles and fluff and beat back the angst monsters
for now. there will always be angst >8D

Perhaps. Or I can be a terrible person and make that add to his insecurities... Huhu...

Such a two edged sword. One minute we love him, and the next we're stabbing him in the back, killing everyone he loves, giving him PTSD, and a hoard of other emotional problems. My love is shown through angst...

Ooooooooo >:3
...God we're awful XD Oh well XD

Yeah, right? It's funny how that works. I guess it's 'cause you need a reason for fluff and the best reason to give somebody cute fluff like this is to break an angst chair over their head beforehand XD It's the Hurt/Comfort cycle, I swear, I'm not a sadist XD

Xandreath In reply to CelticQuailKnight [2020-04-05 07:09:55 +0000 UTC]

Haha, "Oh well". I like it. XD 

Why do you think I literally right nothing but hurt/comfort like 80% of the time?! That's where all the best fluff and feels come from! I can literally turn a character in a punching bag, but then gloss it over with with warm fuzzy feels to make it all better. XD But yeah... I've hit Meta with lots of angst chairs... I'm suprised he's not dead yet. > But it's okay... A bandaid and kisses will fix all his ouchies. <3 XD
