Charcuterie Cookie!!!!

She’s a cookie run oc of mine who runs a catering business in the Crème Republic. Mostly for fancy galas and other parties like that.

Shes always restyling with new toppings that complement the food! Never looks the same for two meals after all her years in the business.

If there's one thing I'm proud of as an artist, it's the fact I'm a style chameleon. I decided to sit down and recreate 4 artists I really love, and who better to do it with than with the most varied character in the entire franchise: King Dedede! This isn't just for appreciation though, but a study on how other people translate DDD's design, since character design is a passion of mine!

Let's start with @miniiieevee!

Oh my gosh their art is super great, and I think the most important part of getting the style right was the sparkles. I have never seen someone do highlights this way, and it's both super recognizable and super cute! For the King himself, we have a nice round beak, visibly blue eyes, a distinct head, pointed crown jewel, an undershirt, and stripes along the top of the belt. Like most of us, they use the (owo) kind of mouth and really fluff up the coat. Separate fingers can also show up for posing, following Spongebob physics. The stitching on the gloves and the little round eyebrows are another really cool touch! Out of all of the styles I looked at, this one has the most pastel colors.

Next is @das-a-kirby-blog!

Das-a-kirby-blog has such a cool variety in their work, from really shapey sketches to super abstracted color schemes, which while super amazing, didn't provide me the best ref material. The colors here are frankensteined from a few sources, so I hope they capture their actual base color palette. They go for the pin-shaped route for body shape, with the undershirt (though sometimes there's no under layer), typically black eyes, extra belt stripes, and a chunky diamond shaped crown jewel. My favorite touch is the cottonball on the crown. Like I said at the top, they excel at shapes in their art!

-

Third is @jojo-schmo!

I've been silently reading their roleswap comic, but I should've been loudly reading it because I super recommend it! I'd also say design wise their Dedede is the most unique! Besides myself they're the only one here to pick the kimono, they have a single blue stripe at the top of the belt, a triangular jewel, and the coolest element of the style, spirals! I've not seen anyone stylize the trim this way, and it's so cool in execution. Another unique element that really adds to certain expressions is the spiky teeth (which matches real life penguins! ...Don't look it up).

-

Last but not least, @cosmicwhoreo!

God, their art is everything. The flow of the lines is so clean and smooth and everything they draw is super expressive. Their Dedede is by far the hugest, and also marks the 4/5 DDDs with a separate head, and 3/5 with black eyes. We have the belt stripes, occasionally a shirt, and a smooth tear drop jewel, but a uniquely shaped crown band. This design sees a lot of influence from the anime unlike the others here, so the color scheme is the most unique.

-

As a conclusion, it's really cool to see all the different design elements that we pick and choose for DDD. Some give him his smash outfit. Some people give him a body type closer to K64 or KATFL. Some people draw his eye color, or separate eyebrows, and others don't. There's no detail that's the same across every version, but they're all our lovable king. If you don't recognize one of these artists, check them out! I can only do a fraction of the incredible work they do, and let me know if there's any other characters or artists you'd like to see this exercise with!

THIS IS AN ADDITION TO THE MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE POST BECAUSE TUMBLR WON'T LET ME ADD MORE!!!

Okay. So.

@triona-tribblescore @ijustwannahavefunn @sir-fluffbutts @cosmicwhoreo @goobygnarp @akanemnon @nartothelar @onebadnoodle @corndog-patrol @nartothelar

I just wanna let this out in case any of you see it.

You are my biggest inspirations, EVER.

Seriously.

Some of you I watch on Youtube, some I save your art on Pinterest, others purely on this website. But I want to let you all know that your art keeps me inspired to draw. I love your art styles, your colours, the fact that you can even draw hands-

@ijustwannahavefunn and @sir-fluffbutts, I love love LOVE your Youtube content and it always excites me when you post new videos. Your characters and the way you animate them is so smooth, and if I ever animate in the future, I'll be looking at your stuff for inspo!

@akanemnon, Twin Runes is probably one of my favourite webcomics to read, and the fact that you responded to my art made me ecstatic. Thank you so much for reblogging it on your Tumblr, for now that is my most popular post. Oh, and I really like your sona too- :D

@corndog-patrol, another brilliant artist that responded to my ask- which I'm really grateful for and had me squealing like a little girl- I originally came from your MicZawa art, although I adore every single work of art you create.

@nartothelar like with @onebadnoodle, I find your art through Pinterest with it leading straight to Tumblr, and your art genuinely brings me comfort. I adore your MicZawa and Submas fanart so much, your style just makes them look so huggable and sweet!!

@cosmicwhoreo and @goobygnarp (/@80bitesofsweets), your characters are so COOL. @cosmicwhoreo, your fanfic is one of my favourites to read, and to both of you I love your cookie run ocs (I also love your transformer ones @goobygnarp :D)!! The little comic strips you do with Gold Choco Cookie and Creamy Peanut Butter are absolutely amazing and I could read them for hours on end!

@onebadnoodle, I first found you on Pinterest (the images I found leading straight to your Tumblr), and I immediately fell in love with your art. I love your lineart, the colours you use, and the characters you create are always so imaginative and are such clever concepts.

And last, but certainly not least, @triona-tribblescore. You make me smile so, SO much with your art, your super sweet responses to people- you are so kind and amazing, and it makes me feel even happier for the fact that you are also Irish!! Now my list of famous Irish People have increased! Oh, and of course, I love your TMNT au ANLFM as well! Your comic is so funny and a great time to read- cannot wait for more! <<<333333

If any of you respond to this, I will scream. Of happiness.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND TO ALL OF YOU A GREAT 2024!!!
