#also look at my epic graphic design lmao

[shadowsoldierr]

ESC 2023 thematic chart I made for fun, feel free to discuss!!

[achillean-knight]

Nearing the end of Mettamay! Recap and thoughts :D (This is just for fun lol)

I think this is the part where I drop off of drawing for Mettamay AAAA But hey, I did really good though! (imo ofc!) The number of days I did and how much I drew MTT himself was insane 👀👀👀

In total I accomplished days: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27! So in total, 21 days! Holy shit LMFAO VERY proud at my commitment yo, I kinda wanna do this again next year if it's on! >:D (just remind me bc I WILL forget probably)

I've mostly dropped off by now, just bc I can't think of what to draw, and my motivation has moved to updating oc's for Art Fight BAHA But the fact I made it so far--- bonkers, bro, absolutely bonkers. This was INCREDIBLY fun and got me through pretty bad burnout, so yah! It was honestly very relaxing to just draw Mettaton for 21 days JHSDGHSD

Also, shout out to Mettamay for getting me to experiment with art aswell! Notably, I've become more comfortable not fully rendering with a painterly style, rather, just using a single pen brush in my software and doing pretty decent cell shading(?), which is epic as bc painting takes... SOOOO long JHDF

And honestly, imo to end off Mettamay for MYSELF Imma rank my favourite pieces I've done for this month, just to look back on and just for funsies KEKEKE

VV - UNDER THE CUT! BC THIS POST IS LONG AS HELL - VV

TO RECAP FOR MYSELF, My favourite pieces were these:

FIRST:

Mostly bc I am so SO happy with the rendering and colours JKSDHGFSD

SECOND:

First siting of me doing decent rendering in the whole of this challenge 🫵 This one was specifically a blast. The pose- not too great, but for me who is pretty shit at poses, I'm VERYYYYY happy with it >:D Very epic to see I also accomplished kinda comic-like background graphics, dunno how I did it JKHJGHSFGSDJ

THIRD:

i'm kinda insane about my AU MTT. Salty I forgot the weird cape banner wing things but I love this piece nonetheless ;;w;;! I'm so happy with the design, and getting the chance to draw it for Mettamay was a blast.

LASTLY/SPECIAL MENTION The amount of ghost MTT's I drew have to get their own spotlight. I had so so much fun drawing his ghost form, and honestly? NEW COMFORT CHARACTER UNLOCKED KJSHJHFDG

Who knew a hot pink ghost of my design would become a comfort PFFT Very happy at his design development since the first one LMAO Bro got edgier hair JHGGFJS thanks to my AU ghost MTT also having edgy af hair KJHJHSDJKDDHSDSJ

BUT YEAH Overall, Metta May was a BLAST And now that I experimented with drawing Mettaton, I think I'm comfortable drawing more of him now >:3 Just--- when motivation hits me LOL

[uwuoofy]

RANK EVERY KIRBY GAME YOU'VE PLAYED

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE LETS GOOOOOO

Of course it'll be based on personal enjoyment. But let's be honest, it's Kirby, all of these games are good one way or another so let get it

# 14 Kirby's Avalanche

I'm estupid and lost at whispy woods level, which is like, the 2nd level overall. So I'm bitter and put it this low, graphics and audio are super cute tho <3

#13 Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

This was a game I actually got bored with. I'm not really a fan of the whole ball and stylus mechanics (probably cause I'm not good with them lmao). I would be a liar if I didn't say it was one of the more if not the best in game design, with every game piece being of real clay and scanned into the software. Truly amazing, but poor execution in the game itself.

#12 Kirby And the Crystal Shards

So cute and round. I like the idea of combining copy abilities and the direction of art this game had. Only complaint is having to go back and forth for puzzles and certain abilities eeeee

#11 Kirby and the Forgotten Land

A different direction compared to the other Kirby games and I love and hate it for that. A very fun game with the new direction and the mini games and ability upgrades are so cute! My gripes really are just, with all the creative ingenuity in HAL, you really went for the post apocalypse earth as the stages? And

Uh

I'm not the biggest fan of the beast packs designs

Or King Dededes Design

...

...

...

Or Efflin

Please don't hate me

Also I hate saving the waddle dees cause it means I cannot leave a single one behind!! I have to save them all and it feels more like a must than an option because I do not want to leave them there so sad!!!

#10 Kirby Star Allies

Alright I know, I KNOW, putting this above Forgotten Land?? How could I do such a thing??

And your probably right but its my list lmao

If Kirby had a season finale this would be it. A really fun game where you can get all of kirbys friends and fend off enemies and defeat God with the power of love. The slight insight on Void Termina is interesting, but if its never expanded upon again then I dont think there's much of a loss. But like everyone and their mama said, it really is too easy, I finished the game with like 75 lives to spare lmao.

#9 Kirbys Adventure

I recently played and finished it and I can say I see why it was played alot. Very basic yeah but a really fun and easy game for everyone to play and I appreciate it for that!

#8 Kirby Triple Deluxe

My first Kirby game! Really caught my eye with the story of Taranza and Sectonia (so sad ;-;) and Kirby turning into a freaking rainbow that swallows things 100× their size is so funny to me. But this game also has my least favorite Dedede design, he looks

Rather odd...

#7 Kirby Planet Robobot

Objectively the best Kirby Game Overall. Really solid story and the twist of technology on a planet that thrives on its natural state, really creative. I do love anti capitalist and Susie's marxism lmao.

#6 Kirby Fighters 2

Let's go gay people, really establishes the relationship Meta Knight and King Dedede have well, but thats about all it does. Game play is basic but fun with a player 2. Also you can play as gooey and I love gooey gooey my beloved

#5 Kirby Super Star Ultra

I LOVE THIS GAME its like making interactive episodes of a Kirby show and their so fun. I especially love gourmet race and Dyna Blade they're so fun!

I really hate Great Cave Escape tho

#4 Kirby Squeak Squad

Awesome game. Really brings home the idea that Kirby will kill God for cake and I think that's so funny. Also Daroach and his thieves are really good antagonists and super fun.

#3 Kirbys Epic Yarn

So cute, so wholesome. Not much to say except I love its vibe so much and its so cozy and beautiful and alsjwkeksjsnksdkkssk

#2 Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland

Does everything the original did and improves upon it. I love the art and aesthetic so much, as well as the gameplay as its super easy and engaging. It would be my favorite overall if not for-

#1 KIRBY RETURN TO DREAMLAND!!!

Objectively one of the best games. You play as Kirby plus all of their friends and explore through Dreamland while trying to help a two timing bitch, to which you later beat the shit out of lmao. Plus the mini games and abilities that are introduced, really astounding for the first Kirby game that establish the style for games to come!!!

So there's my list! (Emphasis on MY list)

Sorry its so long I just really love this franchise. Ball guys being ball guys heehee

[inchling-prince]

have a meme

and have an acronix :3 (the green markings are supposed to be the play symbol and fast forward symbol ^^)

jkgjgkjggj this AU started out as a joke but now i kinda like it 😳

imagine if the time blades looked like this. that wouldve been VERY epic and wayyyy cooler looking

Oh that is a really cool redesign actually.

I like the original design of the time blades honestly, but they're also. Not. Really blades are they lmao. That sword has a really interesting hilt but I can't. Get. My phone to cooperate enough to read the text on the graphic :')

Battle is cool but it’s gonna take some getting used to, think I accidentally used both of my items

“Damn, didn’t get to impale myself” I’m sure you’ll get your chance Susie

It’s really interesting how we’re basically group-battling to PREVENT the tank from beating the crap out of everyone

Oh now that light trick is weird

They keep throwing the usual chess and playing card guys at us and somehow I’m Suspicious

[hyroole]

(There are definite 100% spoilers in this) I wanted to write a review of sorts of BOTW. I might forget some things, but here are my pros and cons of the game:

PROS: -the graphics, of course. The game is beautiful. I love that at certain angles there’s rainbow light spots from the sun, I also like how nothing was just ‘placed’, every tree and every object looks good. The style is very realistic, yet very Zelda. I really can’t praise the graphics enough. -exploration. The map is HUGE. Every time I have to go somewhere, I forget how long it really takes to run from one spot to another. You also always find something new or interesting along the way. Exploring is one of every Zelda fan’s favorite things to do, I think, and this game really gives you the ability to explore every single area. -side quests. There’s so many fun ones that are interesting and unique to Zelda and quests that also have great/funny/interesting dialogue to read. I personally loved getting Link's house and helping build Tarrey Town, I’m always a sucker for building things like towns from the ground up (why I love Animal Crossing and games like Harvest Moon/Rune Factory). There are also a lot of other interesting side quests that help give the game much needed life. -the music. I especially love the opening theme. It sounds so unique to Zelda games, but also EXACTLY like something that belongs in a Zelda game. (I do also miss the more charming music, like when you’re in a house, you all know the song). The music when a dragon is near is also a favorite. The Blood Moon song and when a guardian is attacking you are also great, anxiety-inducing songs. The only problem is, I wish there was more music. I like when it’s quiet while roaming a field or forest, but sometimes I wish music was playing. -towns. Hateno Village is huge and very nice to look at. There are 8 (I think?) towns to explore, which to me, is great. I was so surprised and excited when I stumbled upon Lurelin Village right when I thought I had seen the last village in the game. -the puzzles. Finding the Korok seeds is fun and an added bonus in the game. I think the shrines are really fun, and really annoying at times. I love how detailed and sometimes difficult each one is. (Although, I get sick of the same color scheme and design in each one. It really makes me miss the themed temples in past games, will continue in cons). -the characters. I think this time around we really get some good characters with interesting and fleshed out stories. Zelda and her dad, for example, are very interesting, and if you haven’t already, I would highly recommend finding and reading each of their diaries after finding all of the memories. Zelda herself, this time around, is definitely a fan favorite. She's very likable and interesting, it's a shame about that voice though (lmao, will continue). I’m also pretty happy that there are some non-white appearing side characters (besides the Gerudo of course). The only problem with the characters, which I’ll write about in the cons, is there’s not many we “get to know” and the ones we roughly get to know, we get no emotional attachment to. -collecting. Being able to cook is really fun and makes the game feel more modern, as I think it was meant to. I believe this game is the most “present” of the games, and it is also a land that is in ruins, so it would make sense that there’s a lack of random ruppes and hearts hidden in the grass, which leads us to have to cook for survival. Also collecting every type of weapon and shield and armor is fun. I also like having to collect the pictures for the Hyrule compendium, it’s not as good as the pictograph sculptures in Wind Waker, but it’s still cool, especially since you can pay to have a nicer picture in your compendium. -the physics engine. I use that term “loosely” because I barely know what it means (I’m not someone who knows a lot of terms like that lmao). But based on my understanding, it’s amazing. You can truly do so much in the game. You can test out how high the vertical limit is in the game by placing balloons on a rock and floating into the sky. You can travel by log if you want. It’s way too much fun trying to find what you CAN’T do. -the connections to past games. Discovering that Lon Lon ranch was destroyed years ago was completely heartbreaking. Recognizing the Temple of Time and realizing it’s in ruins was as well. When the master sword lights up in the final memory and makes that familiar sound, it was really just exciting. It made the world of Zelda feel more real and alive. I wish there was more lore to go along with it (will continue in cons).

CONS: -the story is lacking. It begins so interestingly and so full of potential, but then it falls short. There aren’t enough “temples”, there isn’t enough lore, and the memories don’t really coincide with actually experiencing things for yourself. It’s hard to get to “know” and like the characters when you’re only “secondhand” meeting them and experiencing their personality and story. I love the open world aspect, but it just doesn’t feel like Zelda without more of a story. -weapons. The variety of weapons is very cool and I like discovering new ones and collecting them all, but them being able to break so easily is annoying. I think the concept of them wearing down and you having to collect more is interesting, but they should be more durable. It feels like just as soon as you begin to get a feel for a certain (rare, probably) weapon, it breaks. I will say, however, I’m glad the Master Sword can’t actually break, that would be a disaster. (I wish I could say the same for the Hylian Shield). I also think the lack of “key weapons” makes this game feel a little more desolate and less like Zelda. I’m not saying they’re necessary, but I do miss items like the hookshot or the iron boots and so on. They’re really iconic Zelda aspects. -I have to say it, the sexualization of Zelda. This isn’t a HUGE issue, but it’s something that is bothering me, and hopefully some others. Zelda is 16, and then 17. In what way was it necessary for them to “define”/“emphasize” Zelda’s butt so much to the point where I can’t watch a video without everyone in the comments saying “that ass”? It’s blatant and really gross and unnecessary, especially because they clearly have her bending over, etc. -200 points for that, Nintendo. We all see it. -the voice acting. There were some characters’ voices I liked, and some I HATED. In my opinion, Zelda’s voice is all wrong. It’s way too grating and posh, I never pictured her sounding like that, it really ruined every single memory for me. The other voices were simply OK. They could have been better. -the final boss. So…. was it just me or was the greatly feared, the disastrous, the evil, Calamity Ganon incredibly easy to beat? I didn’t die a single time, I wasn’t even close, and I’m a Zelda player who dies CONSTANTLY and over stupid things. But the final boss was easier than one of the temple bosses? -the “temples”. I was really disappointed when I found out there were only four and they were essentially all the same with the same boss. What happened to all the variety and the themed temples with a matching themed boss? It gets really boring after four temples when they all look exactly the same and have essentially the same boss. It was a little hard to get the motivation to beat ANOTHER temple that looked and felt the same. Couldn’t they have made each Divine Beast a different color scheme or used the elements of each one just a little more? This con is forgivable because of how big and varying in environments the world is and how much you can explore, however. -the lore. This goes along with the story con, as well as the connections to past games in pros. BOTW is missing some essential Zelda parts, one of which is lore. This game is really an epic, or I guess it would be if it had more lore. There’s not much connecting us to Ganon, other than the fact that we have to help Zelda and the champions defeat him/it. He doesn’t even have a human form, a voice, or any dialogue. I would have AT LEAST liked to learn why or how he exists the way he does in the first place. There is also little information about those past game connections I praised earlier. They’re just THERE, which makes me feel sad, but I am happy to at least feel something, which is hard in this game with the lack of an emotional connection to pretty much anything.

There’s probably more, but I can’t think of them right now. Remember, these are just my opinions. If you want to make your own lists, go ahead (even tag me tbh), thanks for reading! (If you did).
