"When your greed beckons you to lose your own soul to a vessel of twisted madness... you best hope those that have come to your aid will liberate what remains of your sanity."

Song: C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Remastered)

As much as I would've wanted to draw Marx Soul for the 457th time, I've never actually drawn Magolor Soul before! Clearly that has changed- rambles below the cut:

As a huge fan of Kirby ever since childhood (much like Pokemon and other series), this boss ended up hitting harder when the switch remaster dropped to be honest. Without spoiling anything, let's just say the True Arena and Traveler in Another Dimension made me very close to crying over Magolor. Heck, even listening to the boss theme has me almost a little emotional- I'm not afraid to admit that.

The lore of the Master Crown is beyond insane to me too- literally corrupting the user so much they almost take a mental backseat until they are completely eradicated from the original body on top of it. I mean, that almost goes for all soul forms in some capacity, but WOW Magolor's just hits different.

"He may be rather introverted and keeps others at an arm's length, but we all know that- deep down- he cares. Although he has a hard time expressing it, he's got a big heart and prefers actions over words. Shadows also tend to be the strongest where the light is brightest, and even if that light was extinguished years ago, he still lives and learns, protecting others as per her promise."

Songs: Live and Learn (Eurobeat Remix) Supporting Me (Original) I Am... All of Me (Original)

Oh and here is Shadow: Dark Beginnings in case if you haven't watched it all!

HAPPY SHADOW GENERATIONS RELEASE DAY! I will not be posting any spoilers relating to it without proper warnings as a heads up, but it could also be a while before I get to drawing stuff from this game. On another note, I got every single other pic done in advance and spent the remaining time (up until this got posted) working slowly but surely on this pic! More rambles under the cut btw-

I really wanted to go all out for Shadow, given how he was one of my favorite characters from childhood. He's impacted what kind of characters I tend to gravitate to without even realizing it up until some time ago-- makes me laugh but in a good way. Ever since playing Shadow the Hedgehog 2005 for myself and watching other older games he's appeared in, it's definitely safe to say he's a huge favorite of mine, given how much development he's gone through over the years. Heck, t's been such a long time since I've felt this immense amount of hype.

With this piece, I worried about it being too cluttered, so there was some experimentation done on this one; mostly for the background. Seems as though I don't draw Shadow enough though, as he's definitely more fun to sketch than I realized. I also tried including a few of his doom powers which were showcased in the trailer, so I hope it looks good! Some perspectives were also tricky, but I thank a few friends of mine with help in the early sketching stages on this. Absolutely proud of how this piece came out, and may everyone have a great time with Generations!

"A guest?! Oh boy! I've been stuck in the front for so long, so I'm not sure what's been going on in Indigo Park... but I'll get you through it, buddy!"

Song: Rambley Review

Next up, we got the one and only good bean Rambley the Raccoon! I love this little dude so much, he's so full of personality and I'm really excited to know what direction Indigo Park will go in! He is the one ray of light in a park that's turned to the more horrific side of things- so here's to hoping he stays good!

"<DISTANT PEPPINO SPAGHETTI SCREAMS OF ANXIETY>"

Song: Pizza Time Never Ends

Yep. Fake Peppino. That's it. It was going to be simpler but oops, my hand slipped! Watching my friends play this fight was wild and I will honestly say this is my favorite battle theme in all of Pizza Tower

"I swear Boneysaurs are... something, but this is the only one I am going nuts over" - some Fossil Fighter who just wants a very specific trilobite

Song: Tragic Serenade

Fossil Fighters fanart? On my art blog? More likely than you think! Today brings an extended version of 'living bones', being the Boneysaur B-Ptera!

Seriously out of all the walking skeletons in this game, B-Ptera is, hands down, the coolest one to me. The crescent moon crest, how can you get better than that?!

"Uh... Jeena to Rallen on board the ship? Yeah, I need a bigger boot and axe for this one."

Song: Vs Electrox

Already winding down with the latter half of this month- crazy, isn't it? I didn't know the name of this boss for 12 years, pretty wild because I do not remember anywhere in-game that tells you boss names. Anyways- I gotta draw some sort of entity from the Spectrobes series because we need another game in this series man! Pretty horrific going all the way up this tower dealing with the idea of if you need to solve a puzzle or if you need to keep freaking fighting waves of enemies. The fact that you get hinted about this one long before you even reach it is also nuts-

Also spider. Surely that might freak someone out if they aren't ready for it when playing this game

"Eh? Whatcha doin' here, ruining my perfect train of thought for pranks! You think plotting this stuff is easy?! Don't think so, Slick!"

Song: Creepy Steeple (Remaster)

On this haunting day, as the bell rings once more and plagues a town bathed in twilight, the sheet ghost laughs atop his loft in the Creepy Steeple, Doo_liss! Huh, that's odd, I could've sworn I had put the letter somewhere... must've fell out of my bag?

I played TTYD 4 years ago and that was a blast for GameCube- then a friend gifted me the remaster and I 100%'d it! Absolutely amazing to get all that glorious concept art and a music player too, but alas, I won't say much else, back to the ghost-

I love how simple and silly his design is, plus the remastered battle theme is amazing! But I'll have you as the viewer hear it when you go to confront him, I won't be spoiling the music!

"Look at you, crawling like a bunch of ants... is it my turn yet? With these rising flames, you shall see the very balemoon itself."

Song: Absolutio Absoluta Absolutissime

I don't even have a witty description for this pic outside of how this is the first time I've really drawn this kind of angle before, a lot of experimentation was put into this because oh man Genshin designs are still painfully hard for me to draw with all those details, and the first boss in a longgg time that put the fear of god in me. Anyways, WOOO!
