Thank you so very, very much!! I'm so grateful that you took the time and wrote this critique! And don't worry! Your English is pretty fab! Then again, I'm not a native English speaker either...
I'm really out of words as to how I should reply to all of this... I just want to say that I'm overly pleased that it seems my plan to make this look like a screenshot from a AAA-studio 3D-rendered Kirby game / movie has succeeded...
And yes, it's quite a common trope, I agree on that! But then again, how many times have we seen it in the Kirby universe? That universe is really full of potential...
I would really like to sell this as print some time, but sadly I think copyright laws would put a stop to those plans
Those were long hours I put down, frustrating hours, hours I at some point was certain I would go crazy, BUT...
...reading things like those you have written and seeing how many already seem to appreciate this picture of mine, makes all those infernal hours much worth it. By thousands.
I'm only happy to be able add to the already fantastic world of Kirby, and want to end with saying that I truly, truly appreciate your feedback. I'm truly heart-warmed!
You're the best, remember that! I'm sure you will be able to do this (and better) sometime in the future! Just never, ever give up hope!

((late reply, but oh well))
Well then! Hail, fellow European! (even though we seem to live on quite the opposite ends of the continent, haha!)
3D is indeed difficult! I've studied some as well but procrastinated my studies a lot, unfortunately. I always fall back on Photoshop, it seems (after all, why should I bother creating stuff with 3D when I could make 2D objects look 3D instead, duh?! ) However I would really like to get back to learning 3D-software sometime soon! But, yeah, I suppose I should allow myself to feel proud a little.
Exactly! It's the simple, yet whimsical attitude around Kirby that makes him and his universe so awesome, right?!
I've seen lots of fan art being sold here and there, so I suspected there was some kind of exception made on Nintendo's part. Haha, I didn't know that! Nintendo probably sees it as extra marketing, and that by all rights they should! Ok, cool! I've only fleetingly heard of those sites before, but now I'm definitely checking them out! Thanks a lot for the tip, buddy!
I'm sloooow in everything I do, so maybe that's a good thing, then?
This is really stupid, but I wrote my last comment before actually looking through your gallery… (Dumbass is my first name ) And I can say that you definitely draw cool stuff and have this knack for making 2D things look 3D, already! Never giving up is still a good thing to do, though! Your dreams are probably within an arm's reach, I'm sure!!

Well, who cares? Europe isn't that big anyway
You're doing good for the moment, don't force yourself to go back to 3D graphics
Hell yeah!!
You're welcome I mean, we need the moneys and since Nintendo is fine with it, there's no problem!! (Heck, otherwise selling digital pics (=commissions) would be also illegal )
If the result is flawless, then yes And your results are flawless, so yes
Lately I'm practising stylish 2D and colouring more than 3D, to be honest (I do need to model some 3D stuff again, or I'll get rusty)
Yeah, I honestly need to kick my own lazy ass and get back to work

True that. Europe is a weird little piece of land that can fit a surprising amount of tiny little countries!
Ah well, it feels good to be reassured about that! I'll not force myself, but sometime eventually I'll get back to 3D!
*insert Kirby's victory-dance music*
Exactly! We artists shouldn't sell ourselves short! And you're right about that too, of course! I've never thought about it, really; thought maybe the laws were a bit more strict when it came to physical products (like prints and the like...)
Well, that's settled then! I'll keep to my good ol' slow ways!
I think switching between different media now and then is only healthy from an artistic viewpoint... But alright, let's do a little test to see how rusty you are:
Please explain what an n-gon is!

Those poor victims of colonization... t-t-t
Oh yes. And the whole evolution of Kirby's victory themes, at that! You may call me 'God'.
Yeah, one figures fan art is the way to success...
Oh good, so I'm not completely lost then!
Whaaat you did? Congratulations are in order then?

Yeah, gotta pity them
(this comes from a person whose country hasn't been to war for centuries...)
You have no idea just how lazy I can be sometimes, though...
Exactly! Good thing I plan on doing some original art as well, then!
Yeah, eventually...
Wee, let's celebrate!

(Ah well, I was counting from the year when most countries entered the war (1938-39) [and oh yes, that whole mess with the civil war in Spain is easily overlooked in history books ]. You seem to have paid enough attention in history class, at least! I like history and find it very interesting at times! And yeah, some of us are pacifist alright---even if some would prefer to use the word "cowardly" instead... )
True. But I've just taken my master degree in the field of applied Selective Laziness
At least compared to some of us you are 3D master! I'll look up to you in my endeavour towards 3D-mastery!

Yeah, all those little tidbits of fact you had to force into your head in school was always a pain, but that really applied to all subjects in school, I think...
Exactly! Wish more people both in past and present days would realise that! *ahem*
Nope-noppety-nope. Me be expert in the field now.
Absolutely! You better set your goals high... And no prob!
Aww, thanks for the llama btw! I haven't figured them out yet, but I'll see if I can somehow give you one back...

Ikr? Glad I'm out of it!
Same here. There are those unfortunate things in the world which are inevitable (natural disasters, epidemics etc.) and then there are those things which are just plain unnecessary...
Going for top career next!
But maybe Disney? Or Nintendo perhaps?
Yeah, I figured it out! I think you just had your 953rd (yikes, that's many! ) ninja llama (oh you have ninja llamas? Darn, I'm jealous! )

Yep. World's already full of dangers as it is; like there's always the (rather minimal) chance you die from a meteorite crashing down on your head, for example...
You're right---it will probably burn me out... maybe I should switch to an artist career instead?
Then you go for artist career as well?
Ah so you're a veteran, then! And you were here before the age of llamas! Wow!

Ugh. Now that would make for an awkward death
Yeah digital art is at least a big field...
Awesome! Then go for it!!
I'm speaking with a legend...

Well it's too late to tell them now anyways? Because, I mean, they're... dead?
Yeah, I'm glad I discovered photoshop ten years ago...
That's great!
We're two on that one... You've just happened to be here... longer I guess?

Yeah... I just hope the "death by toilet"-cases are very rare...
Ah cool! I still remember the wow-moment when I discovered the dodge- and burn tools! Ah, good times.

Yeah I dunno... Perhaps you slip on the floor and fall head-first into the toilet and crack your head on the porcelain and drown or something...? Or maybe you die from a very bad stomach Now both of those would be really awkward deaths Haha, but I don't know, I'm just talking rubbish!
Oh I use those tools often... almost to the point I think my pictures are entirely made from dodge- and burn tool over-abuse...
Yeah that too. Evil, evil

Hm yea. I guess.
Nah, one just have to learn to tweak with the shadow/midtone/highlight settings accordingly!
