"I did it! It all went according to plan! I got the sun and moon to fight. I got you to go into space… It was all according to my perfect little plan! So now Popstar is mine! All mine! Now I can cause all the mischief I want! Haha! See you later! Ho ho ho ho! Ohh ho ho ho! Ho ho ho ho ho! Ohh ho ho ho…!" ~ Marx, Milky Way Wishes; Kirby Super Star Ultra

Sooo, it's time for everyone's favorite evil crazed jester to get his tribute this time! (and once again, stupid Dud decided to shamelessly steal the title from a youtube-video -_-' )
I wanted to amplify that trademark creepiness of Marx while trying to stay as true to the original design as possible. Which was quite a challenge really...
Not gonna lie; some of the details were killing me in this one... It also took some time to figure out what mood and light setting I wanted, and of course the perspective was a nagging issue as well (it still doesn't look right? Help? o_0 ). And once I was almost done with it I apparently decided that it really needed textures as well. Which took yet more time and trouble to make. ._.' I'm truly hopeless.
MUST be viewed with fitting music! Just figured an orchestrated version of Marx' theme might be fitting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=byJKuK…
…although I found this very fitting as well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl1uuA… (if you for some reason won't bother listening to all of it, then at least skip to 3:40 and listen one minute onward from there! )
Hope ya enjoy!

this is the most beautifully creepy marx I've ever seen. I love it. its perfect. especially the eyes, the eyes are just amazing to look at. I could stare at this all night. Of course.. this critique might be a bit biased, as marx is my favorite kirby character. But I know I couldn't draw this. Theres so much more I'd like to say about this but I've probably already said to much.
I've probably just wasted everyones time by writing this
oh well.
hope I wrote this right.
I hope that this is a ok critique.
I hope that this part at the end is not unnecessary.

Thank you very much for your critique, bud! 
"Beautifully creepy" was what I was going for here, and it gladdens me you find this perfect! ^^ Marx is among my top favorite Kirby characters as well--- I mean... how is it possible to dislike this merry face? 
While a critique is normally meant for coming with suggestions as to how a piece could be improved, I personally don't mind it if a critique only has simple, appreciative words to say!
So no worries. No time wasted. This is an awesome critique! And I liked every part of it!
Thanks again, and oh--- thanks for the watch! Much appreciated!!

Marx: Kirby you got to SOMETHING!!!!
Creepy, yet weirdly adorable. Maybe it has something to do with the fluff of the hat. Amazing art.
Hope some one of you people get the reference.
