Tree Crown without a Ruler

[14/05/23]

Awww! "You tried?" More like you succeeded!!! You made Noir look VERY cool and you got his look down just right! Thank you so much for this! Also, I love how you combined his name and the sword! Super neat touch!

yk what ill try my luck

if youre numb to finding smth too fucked up for a cute series (me too!) just vote for whats generally most screwed up to you XP

consider reblogging for reach bc im so so so curious on what ppl think

I honestly think Zombie Sectonia detaching her head and flying around trying to kill you was really disturbing, but that probably falls into body horror...? Anyway, since others have spoken more eloquently on Haltmann and Hyness and Zan, I'd like to throw in an easily glossed over aspect of our favorite jester, Marx...

Marx doesn't just kick Kirby out of the way to steal his wish. It is 100% attempted murder. And it BASICALLY WORKS.

The SNES vers has this quick, frantic animation play as Kirby tries to change his momentum before realizing he can't breathe in the vacuum of space (not w/o his warpstar) and he DIES FROM ASPHYXIATION.

...Hidden in the frames is Kirby, in a state of panic, attempting to use his swimming gear to breathe/swim his way back but it doesn't work.

...That's pretty messed up, imo. Especially for one of the earliest games.

The scars of a king

King Dedede angst jumpscare- Wanted to draw him because he's one of my favourite kirby characters (I have no idea how people draw his expressions). I like to think getting possessed and kidnapped has some nasty side effects especially since he's been trapped in forgotten land for months, poor guy...I also got this info on an interview translation about it so if ur curious, have a look!

But uh yeah, I've been gone for quite a while and I think I'll try short sketches to have a consistent uploads but no promises! In terms of halloween and Magolor birthday, I'll probably upload something for that, it's late but better then never I suppose, also I'm still planning on continuing Susie's epilogue/prologue, I think I have some ideas in mind for a new headcanons in that au. But I've been needing some Kirby art requests so if you have any I might draw it, but that's it for now and hopefully I'll be able to get back on schedule!

Day 31: Darkness

Anddddd that's the end for this years kirbtober!!!! While it's been a rough month for me I'm glad I was able to complete this challenge yet again!! (Been going at it for a couple of years hehe!!) And while I'm not too happy with the final product, I'm glad it's decent looking (again artstyle crisis :((( )

Another successful inktober hehe I'll maybe post my hollow knight prompts!! (I was able to do 62 drawings 🥹)

XDDDDD I'm glad you like them! (You're making me laugh so hard omg!)

And awww, I'm so glad to see they made up after all! Thank goodness for that! It's the good (lol) ending I was hoping for!

Thank you for the rope-cast. I'm sure Noir, with circulation restored, and having learned new, vital rope facts with his body will happily (?) go to the Tug of War Convention with Rope MF...

...every year XD

Trick AND treat!! Wherever they land, may my bubbles bring you the treat that you need the most…. My only desire is that it brings you a moment of genuine happiness. 🩵🫧✨

If a bubble finds you, please let me know! Whatever Kirby universe or timeline you’re in, they will reach you. Whether it’s during or after Halloween itself. :3

After a gruelling six months, we're pleased to finally announce to you this year's winners of the 2024 Kirby OC Tournament!

We'll start with the results from the Second Chance Brackets. This event was hosted to allow those who were voted out within the first three rounds of the mainline tournament to participate for a little longer, and featured high-speed 3VS match-ups.

The grand final of the Second Chance Brackets pitted Noir Fontaine (of @desultory-novice), the long-suffering swordsman, against Rope MF (of @mint-termsandconditions), that one guy who really really likes ropes. Both contestants produced an incredible, ongoing series of finale propagandas bouncing off the strengths of both characters, combining both lore and comedy, comics, and even animations!

Their poll, ✦ THERE ARE NO STRINGS ON ME ✦ concluded with one singular vote of difference. This polled in favour of:

⭒THERE ARE NO STRINGS ON ME⭒ ✦ FINAL RESULTS ✦

WINNER: Rope MF with 50.3% of votes!

Congratulations to Rope MF!! This was an incredibly tight race until the very end, with Noir claiming a lead for multiple updates right up until the last moment, with a surprise victory for Rope MF!

Moving on to the Mainline Tournament. After six months of intense 1 on 1 competition, our grand finalists emerged as Valfrey (of @gethoce), the butterfly samurai who created suns at the beginning of the universe, and starstruck dee (of @starflungwaddledee), a palmful of waddle dee who is definitely very normal.

Despite their differences of vibe, both characters are beloved by the community, within the tournament and out, and their creators have told consistent tales throughout the course of the event. Valfrey in particular has spent her time doing everyone a great service by handling one specific menace, a story that carried through into her propaganda until the very end, while starstruck found herself rather lost en route.

None the less, as we don't technically require contestants to be on the tournament grounds to compete, their poll ✦ FOR THE SUN ✦ ran as normal! The results are:

⭒FOR THE SUN⭒ ✦ FINAL RESULTS ✦

WINNER: starstruck dee with 54% of votes!

For this poll in particular, we have an additional graph to show the full week of movement!

Despite a slow start, starstruck dee pulled into a tie, and then into a lead that she maintained up until voting closed. Congratulations starstruck dee!! Propaganda and campaigning made an incredibly noticeable impact on this poll, with every post from each competitor and their supporters resulting in an instant uptick of attention for their character on the poll!

Congratulations to the winners, and also to their opponents. To be among the final four of a roster that was just shy of 150 characters is an incredible achievement!

Our final wrap-up for the tournament and this blog will be posted within the next week or so.

Once again, congratulations to our competitors, and thank you to all-- contestants and spectators alike-- for participating this year! This tournament could not exist without your love of OCs, and we are thrilled to have been able to host you, your characters, and all the creativity and passion that has come with them!

Wow! What a round!

Major ~CONGRATULATIONS~ to Mint and to Rope MF on pulling through at the end! Amazing game! You earned this victory and I couldn't be more entertained by how this final round played out! It felt like I was being given an amazing gift each hilarious update involving these goobers interacting!

Looking forward to that winning (color!) animatic and to the tale of Rope MF reaching new and better heights from here!

To Noir Team, thank you so much for all you did till the end! You made me proud and I can't begin to describe how happy the love and determination you showed for an OC that I, tbh, I always feared was, err too cringey and edgy to ever get this far...! ^^; 

...Though he lost in the end, nothing has truly been "lost." There's still the promised Dess Cut from last round (which of course you're still getting, though it may be in early November now just to give myself a much needed drawing break!) and I've got a (very short) but sweet send off comic for the boy who fought for so long...!

The finalists of the @kirbyoctournament meet at last! ... And Sir Uther is there too!!

Talks in Twilight

Toxic Chaintober 2024 Day 25-29: Dog, Monkey, Pheasant, Revival, and Twilight

(Video starts up)

Hey, hey, hey everyone! Tis’ I Marx! @kirbyoctournament voters, listen up, cuz I’m going to tell you who to vote in the finals in both the Second Chance and the Mainline tournament! Doku’s joinin’ me here on the spot! - Marx

(Camera switches focus to another direction, this time showing Dokutaro)

Reasons on why you should vote Valfrey: she’s filled with swag, she’s a cool girl and they will not hesitate to put Uther in his place in hell. And they’re my friend, so if you vote for them, I’ll give you a special mochi, not poisonous mind you. - Dokutaro

(Offscreen, Uther can be heard yelling and Marx comments on the last statement from Doku with the camera going back to him)

Oh wow… a threat… anywho, wowee, the twilight’s amazing eh? Speaking of twilight, which is the transition between the day and the night, vote for Noir Fontaine, a sad and traumatized boy. Reason? He has my full respect. Plus, I am looking forward to the Director’s Cut of his world. This one’s to you Cosmo, this kid better get to college, I swear to Titan! It would also help him and his confidence if he wins! I know right? Holy Ti- issat the Loyal 3?! - Marx

(Camera moves to see the Loyal 3, Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti, all revived and alive)

Sup, Boss? - Okidogi

Hey, Boss. - Munkidori

You better haven’t forgotten us. - Fezandipiti

(Camera moves to Dokutaro, who had opened his shell, crying)

… you’re.. you’re aliveandIdon’t.. I’m sorry - Dokutaro

(All three move to the camera’s view to comfort Dokutaro, then they see that Doku was filming something with Marx, and notices the next line that he was supposed to say, and Okidogi picks it up then looks at the camera saying the line and adding something of his own)

You better live up to Noir’s threat and send these kids to college or I’ll bash your skulls! Buy those signs and get Noir to win! - Okidogi

Well, this stream isn’t stopping anytime soon folks! Speaking of revivals and death, vote Valfrey, and get Uther down to hell! - Marx

Any Uther is wicked, as that is how the tales go - Munkidori

(The camera moves to Fezandipiti, who is seen on Cosmo’s stand, luring people to him [Cosmo], and even bought a sign that said “Vote For Noir!” with a drawing of the boy)

Buy now everyone! Not only will this help Noir’s votes to rise but also assist him and his siblings in going to college~~! For only 20 star coins each! - Fezandipiti

Our surprise guests have shown why you should vote Noir and Valfrey! So see you all soon! - Marx

(Video ends)
