Pilotwings Resort - Airplane

[yoshiunity]

So another Six Character Challenge completed!

This time it was Nintendo themed, and thanks to my friends on Twitter, before the site further lost its mind -- I was able to draw six characters popular, somewhat known, and as obscure as can be.

Micaiah - Fire Emblem

Didn't get far into Radiant Dawn because I had a bugged copy and had to return it for something else. Though I always liked her design!

Anyway, the spell was originally supposed to take up the majority of the picture, with two rings of light engulfing the bottom screen. I removed it because it was too distracting. You can barely make out Nevessa as it is.

Bill Grey - StarFox

Fun Fact: Bill is my favorite Starfox character. I just like how he's the commander of two Cornerian squadrons, but goes into Bro Mode whenever Fox shows up.

Despite being in multiple games, Bill barely had any good references. So this design is a composite of all of them. Even added some grey in the tips of his ears.

Also, I actually did draw his legs, but his cockpit just seemed too empty for something so compact. So I added the console.

Ibis - Pilotwings

"Alright!" I would have never thought of anyone suggesting Pilotwings art in 2025. Sucks that Nintendo only used the PW64 cast for one game. They gave that entry a lot of charm by design alone!

I could count all official art references for Ibis on one hand. So I made up for it by studying whatever fan art there was, and captured photos while playing Pliotwings 64 on NSO.

I've also updated her design slightly since PW64 characters have some of the most N64 designs to ever N64. (That's not a bad thing, but an update is due.)

Meta-Ridley - Metroid

Ridley, or Meta-Ridley as portrayed here, perched on a collection of his..."work". To us, this is murder. But to the Cunning God of Death, there's much more work to be done.

While "Ridley" was one of the suggestions, the version preferred was never specified. So I went by my favorite. Anyway, Ridley is a sadistic bastard. So much, that if you look closely at his cheek, you can see a minute smile curling along it.

Also that's Tallon IV in the background.

Kumatora - Mother/Earthbound

She's currently taking a break after feeding that Pigmask Colonel a PK Fire-Roasted, Five-Knuckle, All You Can Eat, Buffet! And the other Pigmasks want none of it. Haha! As if they have a choice...

I haven't finished Mother 3. But I'm willing to believe that Kumatora uses PK attacks like everyone else. But for context in this art piece, I really love this old fan idea for a Smash moveset, where she'd uses it to power up her fists and punch enemies with it.

Also, angel gloves.

Captain Falcon - F-Zero

I finish my final lap with an art piece of the man, the myth, the legend, the guy that people FINALLY give a shit about outside of Smash Bros... Captain Falcon!

Launching into action in his home town of Port Town, with the Blue Falcon and the Falcon Flyer!
