ATTENTION KIRBLR

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO

KIRBY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Remember the big collab we've done last year over at Far-Flung Starlight Heroes server? Well, this year we're doing it again!!! And guess what?

You are encouraged to participate too!

What is required from me?

Not much - just pick a single character from Kirby's canon and draw them celebrating Kirby's birthday! The theme this year is "photographs": everyone at Kirby's birthday party are taking a BIIIIIIG group photo with him, and we're trying to make this (probably) the biggest group photo of all Kirby's friends (and some enemies)!

The only thing I ask is that you don't take characters that have already been claimed. I'm intending this to work on "no dupes" and "first come first serve" basis, but I do believe there's a plenty of friendly faces to pick from!

Right now we would really like to have:

Rick

Kine

Nago

Gooey

Flamberge

Pitch

Elline

Claycia

Can I pick multiple characters?

Yes, you can! In fact, there's more than just a drawing of a single character that you can add: the end goal is to make it into a scrapbook-worth page, so any and all decorations, birthday wishes or additional party photos with your chosen characters are welcome!

Keep in mind, however, that additional characters (if they're separate from your main character) and any extra elements are optional. You're more than welcome to pick them, but only if you're sure you can make it all before deadline.

Are the characters from anime/novels/manga allowed?

Yes, they are! I may have to ask for the character's origin if I'm not familiar with them (ESPECIALLY if it's a novel original, I have not read all of them), but you're free to pick as well known or obscure as you'd like. (I know some people on the server are very interested in adding GSA members to the photo...)

In fact, these are who we'd really like to have from anime:

Tuff

Fololo & Falala

Sir Ebrum

Lady Like

Escargoon

Deadline? What's the deadline?

The deadline for submitting your drawings is April 25th. (You can get in some last-second additions up till April 27th, as I'm free that day, but I will be very nervous.)

There's no deadline for signing up, however, so as long as you're ABSOLUTELY SURE you can whip up something good in a matter of couple of hours, you may add your character up till the dawn of last day, haha! (You will sure give me a surprise with that one.)

Okay, but what if all the characters I know/want are already picked?

I know, with FCFS and how many of characters are beloved, this is bound to happen. Not to worry tho!

I have compiled a list of notable characters in the series with references of where they're from and if they have or have not been claimed. You can easily see, which ones are still up for grabs!

If nothing really catches your eye, you can always try and discuss with people who have taken additional characters to see if they're willing to give away, trade or even collab with you to make your characters interact on the group photo! (Trust me, most of the time they will cooperate, so don't hesitate to reach out!

(Keep in mind, however, that the list ISN'T a strict directive on which characters are allowed or needed to be taken. If you have someone on your mind that I've neglected to put in, you're more than welcome to pick them!)

Alright, I'm in. How do I send my submissions?

Simple! I'm working via Google Sheets this time (mostly bc I don't know how Google Forms work and also so people more easily see which characters are taken), so all you need to do is to check out this little handy-dandy link:

On the first sheet you'll see, there's more information on this collab and requirements, and also a list of people who'd already signed up!

To properly sign up, you'd need to list:

Your nickname (so I'd know how to address to you)

Your Discord username (for communication)

Your Tumblr and/or Bluesky username (for crediting once the finished collab is posted, if you don't have either, Twitter/Instagram/other social media of choice is also fine, just know that the result will be posted only on Twitter and Bluesky)

The character(s) of your choosing (to properly claim them)

Rough placement on the canvas (for me to figure out where to put you, maybe you want your character to hold Kirby, or high-five someone else, or discreetly put up horns to someone when they're not looking!)

Submission download link (for me to download your finished submission and add it to the canvas)

Notes (anything you'd think I'd like/need to know about your choice!)

I'm working in Clip Studio Paint, so if you do to, the easiest option would be to upload your cleaned up and flattened work as .clip file. If your art program of choice is different (like Krita, IbisPaint or PaintTool SAI, for example), you can export your work as either .psd or transparent .png. Where to upload your submission is up to you, Google Drive works in a pinch tho.

But wait! How will people know I've participated in this??

That's exactly what I need your usernames for! As I'm posting this on Tumblr mainly, I'm going to @ you as a method of crediting your submissions (specifically pointing out which part you worked on!). After the finished work is posted, you're free to post your individual submissions - either as a reblog of collab or separate post.

Great! Anything else?

One last moment - the main part of communication about this collab happens over here at Far-Flung Starlight Heroes server. (Don't worry, I have permission to promote it.)

It's a chill, fun Kirby-themed server, open to fans of games, anime and novels alike. Are you an artist? Great! Are you a writer? Even better! Do you want to ramble about Lore Implications or just document your 10th 100% completion? Go right ahead! Do you just want to gush about your OCs? People here would LOVE to hear about your little blorbos from your head.

That's it from me! See you around at Kirby's Birthday Party!

my 2023 art recap!!

so much happened this year it’s kinda crazy - even though i drew apparently nothing in march, the rest of the year was packed with many many silly doodles and i wrote somewhere in the ballpark of 94.5k words of fanfiction???

thank you so much for watching my shenanigans and happy new year!! i hope it treats you well!!

[ionthezeraora]

NOW DO YOU HATE ME? ARE YOU AFRAID OF ME? ARE YOU ABLE TO FEEL CULPABILITY? god i love this song SCAPEG♾AT such a cool song but what if it had magolor

[cauliarty]

just some stuff for @crisiskuraudo​ ‘s au. 

about the third image - my hc for susie, just in general, is that she rarely actually calls anyone “native” anymore unless she’s pissed or REALLY hates that person.

tagging this as “susie neg” just in case. note that i DO NOT hate susie as a character, and neither does the original creator of the au.

Art summary time again (～￣▽￣)～

I may not have such an obvious improvement like last year, but I learned a lot of new techniques and stuff! Also finally got a design for Galvarium (June).. that was the highlight of my year ◕_◕

2021 and 2020's are below!

How would Splinter and Leo feel about Kirby existing in the good end?

well, I´ve mentioned before that Splinter and MIkey would treat KIrby as family, although Splinter does it to spare Leo of most of the act of parenting since... well... y'know...

as for how Leo would feel...

he's pretty despondent. doesn't say much. doesn't really take an active part in anything that concerns Kirby. emotionally not there, though he does cuddle with them

Kirby doesn't mind. they still love him

[kirby-the-gorb]

[gay-nidoking]

Is there anything more emotional than the battle of helms deep

[mistilteinn-magolor]

when im bored i shall make a pinned post

but for now, i would like you to know that Floea (kirby oc)

[stupidgalaxybrain]

The concert was so cool! Stayed up until 7:30 am to see the whole thing live but it was worth it (and I can't wait to see the translations for the speaking segments)

The surprise live performances at the end with the vas for Kirby and the New World singer was also a great finale, and it's what I chose to draw based on last night... morning. Kirby gets to sing with the mysterious radio voice! God, her outfit was gorgeous.

Magolor. You agree. Reblog.
