Description this is an entry for the Kirby Villain Contest for !!!
this is definitely the last time I am going to wait till the day before its due to finish the background,
because boy is it hurting for details... and sorry it looks warped in some corners, I had to hold it and take a photo... foo

Anyway, I started this a while ago and got caught up in other projects for school, and than I saw that there was a contest
for Kirby villains, and thought... well in a since the Master Crown made Landia and Magolor the enemy.... so there it is.
I added Kirby and meta knight on either side for a filler, and because I wanted to make it remind you that in that
game you and meta knight work together. (I never really saw him as an enemy, even in the old games)

I hope I get a placement!!!!
Meta Knight, Kirby, Magolor,(both of his forms) Lor, and Landia belong to HAL (c)

THANK YOU TO THE 38 PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAVORITED. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...

This looks great!
It's amazing how much you've improoved on your coloring. The shading and attention to details is really sublime. But you seem to have a problem with the lineart, especially when in comes to anatomy. With the puffballs it's not such a big problem, they're supposed to be "mushy". But here it really shows on Landias head(s). The one with the gaping mouth looks quite decend, but the others (the ones loking left and right) look a bit... "deformed".
This is not meant to be mean, I just want you to improove a bit on that anatomy part, so that others can enjoy whe whole package of your art more.

thank you, I have been taking a lot more time on my coloring, more so than
my outlines, and I do suppose it shows in some areas.
I was trying several different shapes to Landia's side heads, and I could not get
one anybetter than this! Augh, took more time trying to get his faces right than I did on
the whole dragon and puffballs put together.

I was also trying an 'icon' sort of style to the different people, and I am not sure if that was smart.
I only added black lines to the very outer edges of each person, and colored lines on the inner lines
so they would disappear when colored... that is why Kirby's arm doesn't have a line all the way through,
and why there are no black lines in the first and second forms of Magolor's horns.  That may have something
to do with it... though i'm not sure.

I take any advise I find reasonable, and don't worry your not being mean... my art has been improving because
of your suggestions.... sort of like an online teacher? not a better way to say it at this point, not to be cliché.

The heads gave you a lot of trouble, huh?
If you have problems in the future with similar things, try looking for some
refrences you can use as guidelines. For Landias heads for example, just google
some images of dragonheads, to get a feeling for the form of them. Then apply it
onto Ladia and give it a more "Kirby-ish" look.


The way you worked with the inner lines was actually a really smart move!
It's hard to explain, but those colored lines give the characters detph, they feel
more "there".Other that making the whole lineart black, they would feel too cartoony.
I really hope you'll use this tecnique more often. I't looks great!

oh... I googled pictures of Landia, but I guess I just didn't get a very good one.
but yes, I will do that next time; just to see how much it helps to get the shape
better.  Maybe if I draw Landia again, I will do that!

I really like to hear that the colored lines were a good idea.  After I penned it all out,
I was not sure if it looked right... and yes, that was one of the reasons I wanted some
of the lines to disappear - a more realistic feel. (mostly because it was for a Kirby 'villian'
so I didn't want it to be too sparkly)

Thank you again... and I will!
