Whipped up some new art for the cover of Circuit Makers' soundtrack release, which is available now! Erika did a phenomenal job handling the game's music and sound, so I hope you'll give it a listen!!

Over the past few months, I've been drawing an assortment of Kirby enemies for a fun little personal project... so to commemorate the launch of Star-Crossed World, here's a collection of over 300 characters from across the series' history! #Kirby

A collage of miniature drawings depicting over 300 enemies and NPCs across the entirety of the Kirby franchise (including most of the games, as well as the anime and novel series), arranged by color to form a rainbow gradient.
(Please note that alt text limitations make it impossible to individually list every single character included in this artwork.)

Final attack of the year! Paprika from @blubebby.bsky.social!

Paprika looks towards the viewer with an expression that is both gleeful and unnerving. In their left hand, they hold a wilted rose roughly two-thirds the size of their body, denoting their small size. The color of the rose's flower has been reduced to a stark black, as Paprika has removed the color red from existence. Their other hand is raised up and open, allowing black rose petals they plucked to scatter into the wind before them.

Lyra and Dr. Morgan Pierce from @teekayeh.bsky.social!

Lyra (on the right) and Dr. Morgan Pierce recoiling from a massive explosion behind them caused by dubious science. Lyra cackles wildly with her arms in the air over the intense reaction, while Morgan tightly clutches her clipboard and coffee mug with one arm and reaches out with the other arm to grab another tall mug that got knocked loose.

A mass attack featuring:
Z-03 from @beekirby.bsky.social!
Vindella from @comboconnie.bsky.social!
Ciel from @starfeycomet.bsky.social!
Satsuki from @ironfloret.bsky.social!
Sudo from @erikarivers.bsky.social!

A group of characters performing with instruments as part of a jazz fusion ensemble. Clockwise starting from top left: Anton wearing shades and playing a saxophone with gusto; Ciel hovering in the air while playing a flute; Sudo motioning her hands over a keyboard without actually playing it; Satsuki playing bass and glaring angrily at her fellow strings player; Vindella giving a nervous expression in response to Satsuki's glare while her shoulder angel and devil cry and cover their ears listening to Vindella's poor guitar playing; Z-03 operating a drum set. Blue, purple, and pink spotlights can be seen highlighting the band from the background; characters on the left side are tinted with blue light while characters on the right side are tinted with pink light.

Robin for Art Fight user ~chlart!

Robin looking back at the sun setting behind her while seated on the side of her motorbike. Her bike is parked on a dirt road in a barren and hilly deserted wasteland, with sparse decorations like cacti, rocks, and tufts of grass, as well as a broken fence in the background with a no-entry sign hanging.

Drawing of Morinaka Kasumi (on the left) and Hashizume Kohaku (on the right). Kasumi is seated and petting her dog Fubuki, a male husky who happily leans on her lap. Kohaku demonstrates her love for cats cheerfully holding an orange tabby into the air. The background features a checkerboard pattern divided diagonally into pink-and-red and yellow-and-orange halves that frame the characters associated with those colors, as well as dog pawprints on Kasumi's half and cat pawprints on Kohaku's half.

Kicking things off with Cammy and Audrey from @eggtempest.bsky.social!

Cammy and Audrey seated together on a couch in their apartment, playing on a keyboard. Cammy sings to the best of her ability as she plays confidently, while Audrey leans on Cammy's shoulder with one arm and contributes using her free hand. The table the two are sitting at features a laptop which is connected to the keyboard as well as some papers with illegible scrawls on them.

As per usual with these announcements, I'll be using this post as a thread to append any attacks I make during the event once it begins!

A drawing of Harper (OC) with her arms outstretched, laughing greedily as she holds a number of crystal-embedded necklaces in her hand. The crystals, as well as all the other jewelry she normally wears, is sparkling in the signature color of Team Crystals. Text on the top reads "Art Fight! 2025", with a written URL on the bottom that links to the account's Art Fight page.
