I tried to illustrate the feeling this game gave me since Its a bit hard to deliver it in words. don't know the name of that feeling but felt it very deeply and am still feeling it even after two weeks. May the Eusan Nation pay
When Nintendo doesn't do merch of your favorite Game series thus you do it yourself. Gave up trying to do a keychain by hand and decided to let a manufacturer do them instead. THEY LOOK SO GREAT ESPECIALLY THE STANDEE (and Dark Pit looks so cute being smol and angry)
Depending if there's interest in them I may open preorders for the Pits or something similar. Thinking of around 8-9€ for the keychain and around 11€ for the standee (Would be my very first time opening preorders) So...is anyone interested?👀
One concept for how Dark Pit may could look like as a god. I’m not yet sure if he became one because of great selflessness or sth else
my head canon is that gods start weaker than angels so he’s a bit pissed at the situation, especially that his wings are able to be lengthy enough to fly, but one wing just came back and is regrowing because of Lore reasons.
That's why he wrapped his big wing around his body in order to keep balance, since the wing is too big
Pit gave him some of his feathers since Dark Pit didn't have enough of his own to put on his clothing, and it keeps the hoodie from flopping over his eyes.
i don't know if this counts as angst™ but i'm sort of obsessed with the idea that dark pit has a massive identity crisis following the events of KIU. so he goes off on his own down on earth to find himself or whatever. there's just so much that's so interesting about this guy and i ashaglfhl!!! no!! he is so often reduced to being the haha funny edgy clone!! let dark pit have his own identity 2k22
i like to imagine he becomes a traveler. he wanders around and fights off straggling underworld monsters and other threats. but he's mostly just learning what it's like to exist and appreciate the smaller things.
Hey, you! Do you like Kid Icarus? Do you crave more Kid Icarus content but know we will not be getting any? Do you want Pit and Dark Pit to run around your computer screen stealing your tabs and causing a ruckus? Well, I’ve just made a Pit and Dark Pit shimeji! Click here to download it from Dropbox! Happy anniversary!
TW: There is some minor body horror - for more info read the editor's note!
Some insight on the process of making them under the read more for those interested!
So this was my second shimeji I ever made. This one is a duo shimeji - so both Pit and Pitto act individually. There is one action that allows them to interact, the "Tease" and "Cain Instinct" (originally named "Broadcast Affordance" and "Hunt" respectively.) In the original download, the two shimejis hug - but I didn't feel that represented the Pits.
When I first came up with idea for them, I knew I NEEDED to make Dark Pit kick Pit in the stomach (sound familiar?) and that... definitely took time. Some people in the 25 Years discord asked if I could make Pit fly across the screen after getting kicked and I knew I would have to do that manually.
I attempted making the kick have more impact and throw Pit far, but then often he would go offscreen and you wouldn't be able to see him anymore, so I settled for a shorter distance.
I was very tempted to make Pit daydream of something silly in the animation- food mostly. But then I felt that that leaned a little too heavily into the "Pit is dumb and only thinks about Floor Ice cream" so I asked for feedback and the consensus was that both Pits should be thinking of killing some enemies, so there we go!
Also I didn't want the boys to just multiply the way an unedited shimeji multiplies (sorta just... splits into two) so DP gets some Viridi nature magic and Pit gets some good ol' lazer.
The original plan was to give Pit and Dark different animations for everything- including walking, climbing, running, etc. That was TOO much, so the only real remnant from that is DP's ceiling climb. Similarly, I also tried to draw every frame individually (so no cutting and pasting parts of the body) and BOY that was... a decision! In the end I don't regret doing it because it gives a more 'hand drawn' appearance that I wanted, but it took so much longer.
To be honest, I did end up rushing this a bit at the end, I really wanted to have it available for download on the anniversary, and even though I'm not happy with some frames, I'm overall very proud!
