1 of 2 pages I did for @popstarzine's zine still available here (as of this posting).

I had never done a piece like this before, so I went a more traditional scrapbooking route. Backgrounds match the first three levels of Spring Breeze: Green Greens, Float Islands, and Bubbly Clouds.

The photos are all references to the opening scenes of each corresponding level with allies I found myself with the most while I was replaying this section in the game.

I remember watching videos of people assembing minatures and journals, using tweezers to decorate them with clear stickers, so I went with that idea to add a little more intrigue to the piece. Here, Kirby and Simirror are applying their own stickers to the board as a way to commemorate the journey.

The thing that took the most time was finding a color palate I liked actually. I ended up picking an Easter-inspired palate for the background pieces, and then added the bright yellow and purple border tape for contrast. I prefer my art to be saturated and colorful, so it pleased me personally.

⭐⭐⭐

More than anything, I wanted it to be filled with textures and patterns to really sell a "stationary upon stationary" feel. It was quite new for me to do something like this, but I'm so glad I did. Kirby as a franchise for how long it's been in my life and brought me joy has been neglected by me far too long. One of the first things I learned to draw in grade school aside form Pokemon was Kirby and it's high time I showed the pink puffball some love ❤️

Here's everything from my part of the POPSTAR'S SUPER ULTRA SCRAPBOOK ZINE @popstarzine!!! Everyone worked really hard on their artworks so check it out :)

First we have the final artwork!

With and without the spotlight :D Everything, except the spotlight, was done using traditional mediums and scanned individually. I'm really glad I could be a part of this and it being my first zine.

Take a look at the process video

Keep reading for details :o

Concept sketches and final sketch before painting

The sketch has the list of enemy characters and a few different thumbnail sketches of Dedede. The gist of the artwork was to show the characters working together to set up the fighting ring for the fight that happens in game with the 4 small paintings. With the middle painting being Dedede in the decorated room. I re-sketched 2 of the small paintings I was having trouble visualizing and some background and foreground bits.

This sketch was the original sketch for my piece before I was told I needed Dedede in it. I plan on coloring this, but I'm busy so it will just have to be a sketch for now.

Background and foreground

The background pattern is the pattern from the sides of the fighting ring, but without Dedede's face and symbol. It was made with alcohol markers and the white lines are painting with acrylic pen.

For the foreground, the light purple drape is from where the crowd sits, and the side banners are from the main fighting ring. Both painted with gouache with the side banners having paper stars I cut out using my Cricut and drew the gold with a pen. The bottom part of the foreground is the ropes and poles of the ring.

Paintings

Top left - The area the Waddle Dees are in is the room before the fight Dedede

Top right - Noddy and Simirror are on the covering the sides of the stage, but Noddy fell asleep and is not being helpful.

Bottom left - They are on top of the stage but looking up at the support beams

Bottom right - Also on top of the stage, but it is angled facing downward

Middle - I thought it would be funny if Dedede used his strength to step down on the ropes. Also, do you notice that Mario and Peach are in the crowd?

Stickers, stamps, & paper

Stickers - I lied when I said everything was made using traditional mediums >:) the stickers were drawn digitally, printed and rescanned. Yes, they're actual stickers and I will stick them on to everything.

Sticky note & breezes - Words on the sticky note were carved out of rubber carving blocks and using ink to stamp it onto a sticky note. The breezes are from the start screen of string breeze and are finger painted on paper with ink

Wax stamp - wax seal was also carved from rubber carving blocks. Scanning the wax stamp was difficult because it wasn't flat, so I took a picture of it instead

Scanner & Editing software

For the scanner, I used a Canon Lide 400 scanner and for the price it's a pretty good, but this is my first scanner, so I'm not sure how other scanners fair.

I used Affinity Photo 2 on my iPad to put everything together. I originally used Procreate, but after seeing the quality I realized I needed a photo editing program. So I used the free trial from Affinity to make the final artwork. Original I wanted the final piece to have a white border but decided against it and instead added shadows to make it look like a spotlight. Also added some shadows to some areas.

Everything but it's not scanned

Ok, thanks for coming to my art talk :D see you next time!
