I’m sorry I haven’t been active, my health has been especially bad lately ^^;

Your art is so good!! Thank you so much for drawing this awesome piece and including my sillies ^^

Sometimes your friends decide to tell a really cool story together, and you get so invested in it that you decide to throw yourself at the canvas and draw fan art. XD

Worked on this piece for about a week while watching some friends roleplay out a phenomenal story with their Kirby OCs as a group. It was such an adrenaline rush from beginning to end, and I was so moved that I had to get out my pen and do something while the inspiration was hot. Thanks for letting us sit in as the peanut gallery guys! <3 It was a treat. I don't think I've drawn this many characters in one piece before, it was a really fun challenge to see just how much I could fit into the composition. Helps that the subject matter was fun, all of your OCs have such cool designs!

Hello again all! After the riveting finale of last year's tournament, we've spent a few months collecting a selection of fun stats into our final 2024 Tournament Review!

From which participant had the most propaganda posted, to the total number of votes cast across the event, to which canon Kirby species was most represented, we hope you'll enjoy this send-off for the 2024 tourney!!

. · ͙ * ̩̩͙˚ ̩̥̩̥ * ̩̩̥͙ ✩ * ̩̩̥͙ ˚ ̩̥̩̥ * ̩̩͙ ‧ ͙ . . · ͙ * ̩̩͙˚ ̩̥̩̥ * ̩̩̥͙ ✩ * ̩̩̥͙ ˚ ̩̥̩̥ * ̩̩͙ ‧ ͙ .

★ POLLS WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES a selection of the highest performing polls that attracted the most public attention

Mama D vs J: 848 votes

★ Dawn vs Starry Dee: 749 votes ★ Fylass vs Clark: 741 votes ★ Astro vs Noir Fontaine vs Techie: 592 votes ★ Sir Meteor vs Life: 554 votes

★ CHARACTERS WITH THE MOST PROPAGANDA characters who had the most propaganda posts for them, either from their own creator or from other artists

Fecto Flora 155 posts

★ Valfrey 112 posts ★ Sir Uther 108 posts ★ Noir Fontaine 98 posts ★ Dotty 95 posts

After applications closed at the end of April, the tournament ran from May 10th, 2024 to October 28th, 2024, just a few days shy of six months! During this time...

★ 143 competitors joined the tournament and made friends ★ 1,813 Propaganda posts were made by the community supporting those competitors, and reblogged to the @kirbyoctournament blog ★ 202 polls were made pitting your favorites against each other ★ across those polls, 43,165 votes were cast ★ and of all these, winners starstruck dee and Rope MF received 1179 votes and 699 votes respectively over the course of the event

★ RANDOM STATS

★ 36% (52) of entered OCs were of the "orb" species, with 33 of those taking up the mantle of "knight" specifically. far and away the most represented species ★ Waddle dees were the next most common entrant, with 17 OCs. ★ Ripple Fairies were the least showcased non common-enemy/custom species type, with only a single representative! ★ Of all OC names, "S" was the most common initial at 16 OCs, a statistic we do feel is influenced by the frequency of "sir" before names. Removing those, it was the letter "A", with 13. ★ The least successful initial was the letter "J", with all but one of their 4 representatives (75%) falling in the first round.

★ PROPAGANDA WITH THE MOST CHARACTERS INCLUDED most tournament characters included in a single piece (or single series) of propaganda

★ Tournament OCs Part One and Part Two by @ivynajspyder with a total of 60 competitors

★ 55 competitors Havent You Noticed I'm A Star? by @giantchasm ★ 29 competitors and 2 non competitors (total 31 characters) Congrats To Fecto Flora! by @ceoofmetagala ★ And an honorable mention with 13 competitors and 15 non competitors (total 28 characters), Stargate Commemorative Piece, by @moonverc3x

During the tournament, creators and fans of all kinds arrived to showcase their best skills in support of their own ocs, their friends, and even brand new favorite characters they had found. While it's of course impossible to pick just one stand out piece -and we strongly recommend you check our full propaganda tag to see many more of these incredible works- here are some notable and unique highlights suggested by the Kirby OC Tourney community!

And with this, we officially conclude the 2024 Kirby OC Tournament event!

Over the next few days we will reblog a few final propaganda posts we received notifications for since October. We also have a new pinned post with an FAQ regarding the tournament and when things may be picked up next!

Thank you for coming along on the ride with us, for sharing your creativity and supporting OCs, and for helping us to make this into a wonderful and enriching community event!

See you around!

Apologies AU ~ Director's Cut

I really wanted to release this before the end of the year, since it was a promise for 2024's Tournament, but close enough?!

...Thank you everyone for your patience...

At last, "The Dess Cut" is complete!

>>>[Google Docs Link]<<<

...New to my blog and don't know what "Apologies" even is?

Then check here, here, potentially here and/or his character tag to learn more about the human identity I gave to Kirby's Dark Matter Swordsman (including a bunch of HC about Adeleine, Neichel, Shiver Star, Ripple Star, Dark Matter...)

PS: This monster is 318 pages long >w<

@kirbyoctournament (Not sure if you're still reblogging things but...)

[poppybros-jr]

Super glad I took part in this! Drawing Life was great fun! And thank you Dot for drawing Cosmo, you did a wonderful job!

another collab i've co-hosted with @nautical-nova! it was for Halloween event and features MANY participants of @kirbyoctournament (not all, because not everyone signed up and frankly we wouldn't be able to manage that many lmao)

I'm frankly unsure if everyone will be tagged properly because for some reason I'm unable to tag too many people on posts, so the full credit list will be in reblog by my main blog (hopefully it'll work)

it was fun everyone! see ya next year! and sorry for late upload

I did Mapobas and Star for @sacrificecage and @c0ffee-7!

[poppybros-jr]

I know these a bit late, but I worked all through October (and now a portion of November) to make sure this treat would be the best it can be! Happy Halloween from me, Kirby, and all his buddies. Plus, a special guest appearance from my own oc, Misty Mallow! ^W^

You'll want to click on the images for the very best quality. Also, please do not repost my art, but likes and reblogs are always appreciated <3

[poppybros-jr]

Cosmo has a sideblog now! @cosmotheconjuror

I’m planning to reblog all his posts over there, and then he’ll be open for interactions. :3

[poppybros-jr]

[poppybros-jr]

Cosmo seems a little unhappy with this turn of events! Good thing he’s stuck in the audience stands. ^^;

(VOTE NOIR!)

✦ SECOND CHANCE, GRAND FINALS ✦

Noir Fontaine VS Rope MF

⭒THERE ARE NO STRINGS ON ME⭒ >>>✧ VOTE HERE ✧<<<

this poll closes 9AM (CST) 28th of October and results will be posted on the 29th. to learn why we are no longer polling on tumblr, read our information post here

[poppybros-jr]

This is probably the last time I get to do this, huh?

SURPRISE PROPAGANDA ATTACK!

My target today is Starstruck Dee! She’s a perfectly normal Waddle Dee! I’m a perfectly normal noddy, so of course I’m going to support her!

- I love her giant bow! It looks so good on her! Head accessories are the best accessories when you’re small and round like us.

- Speaking of which, she’s small, just like me! Smaller than me, even! Us short people have to stick together. We’re not too short, the world is too tall!

- She’s so sparkly! Her skin is all glittery and she has those cool star things on her cheeks! Sparkles are the best, in my opinion. That’s why one of the first things I learned to do with my magic was make sparkles! Like this!

- She’s friends with Noir! I’ve seen her riding around in his scarf. Of course I’m going to support someone who’s friends with one of my friends!

Vote for Starstruck!

Starstruck Dee belongs to @starflungwaddledee

@kirbyoctournament

[poppybros-jr]

It’s the final round of second chance. Noir’s made it to the finals! I’m here to cheer for him again, but this time, I’ve brought along…

(actually just my siblings and Vinnie ‘cause my aunts and cousins were busy)

If Noir wins this, he wins the whole second chance tournament! Please vote for him if you can!

I saw what he did last round. Threatening people to give my little siblings money for college? Respect. He’s on the no prank list… for now. >8)

He’s had to deal with some tough stuff. Don’t you think it’d be nice for something good to happen to him for once?

I think his spiky hair is really cool…

*bark yip grrr*

Vote for Noir!

Noir belongs to @desultory-novice . He now has immunity to exactly one instance of Marx in the entire multiverse. Congrats?
