Kneel before the might of Kirby!

Ah, this was a nice and simple piece to crank out. It’s always great when I don’t have to deal with complexity like anatomy and whatnot. Just big basic shapes.

Lighting and shading still was a bit of a bitch, however. It always is. There’s really no way to cheat it or simplify it too much, so that’s where the majority of the challenge came.

I do have to say that the hardest part was trying to mimic that goddamn nebula in the popstar ref pic in the background that I use. I might be able to cheat it if I had a properly customized brush, but I tried to approximate it but it ended up coming out more like some tie dye swirl shit than a real nebula.
