It has arrived! The long awaited "mystery" has been revealed! xD
I'm sure by now you've all been able to see the pattern going on here, with finishing a wave and then a Mage Sister shows up. I'll still do the silhouette thing next time again though, just because I like the consistency. :) Anyway, this piece might be my favourite so far! If any of ye have seen my Instagram, I posted a teaser of Meta Knight showing that I have a slightly new and improved style so I used that throughout this whole piece and I love the result! Not only that, but I like the composition of everything, the subtle tilted camera angle and the sorta low perspective. Also, BLOOM! I've added bloom to this piece :D I'm gonna experiment with more post processing stuff like this in the future ^^
[SPOILERS FOR THE END OF THE VIDEO INCOMING] Also, as you can see at the end of the video, I've experimented with ACTUAL animation!... or at least my attempt at actual animation xD The biggest flaw I can see is a low framerate (the animation I think is 10fps where typical animation is 24 i think) which can be fixed by of course, making more frames, but that would also double the time to make it, and the wait for this video was already long enough. But I feel like it still looks ok. Leagues better than my feeble attempts in the past. :P
I'll still be doing keyframe animation mostly, but I enjoy experimenting here and there. Anyway, lore time!
Project Dream Lore Ahead
After the Crystal Shard squad defeated the Alternate Zero Two and Miracle Matter, things were peaceful for a while. Adeleine and Ribbon returned to Pop Star and the gang continued their journey, while also scouting for any more alternate enemies. However, while on Star Lavadom, the gang were found by Flamberge... She didn't exactly want to fight our heroes. If anything she had important intel for them. Even though she wanted to rebel her mission as usual, her orders were also from Francisca, so to make her happy, Flamberge reluctantly drew her blade and asked for a fight. Once defeated, Flamberge decided she needed to tell Kirby the urgent info...
"HANG ON A SECOND!! I'm not done with you all! Listen here, Pinky... I know you want to defeat this thing as much as we do, but we have a big problem. Fractured Star Dream has taken over Jambandra Base. As far as I know, it has the ability to open up rifts to summon enemies from different timelines, and it has sent these duplicates all over the galaxy from our base. However, before Fractured Star Dream got to leave after the initial takeover, Hyness was able to put the barrier up around Jambandra once again, trapping Fractured Star Dream inside! It's currently unable to teleport out or break it, but If any of us want to go and attempt to stop the machine, we would have to take down the barrier once again to get in, and it takes alot of magic to put it up, so for the foreseeable future we won't be able to take it down properly. If we managed to get in and fail fighting Fractured Star Dream, it can escape... and cause chaos everywhere! But if we leave it sealed, it will have as much time as it wants to be upgraded, and will probably find it's own way out, being unstoppable... so we're not entirely sure what to do at the moment. Zan has been very stressed over all of this. However, knowing how you've foiled us countless times... but also saved our lives... you may be strong enough to take it on, and Zan may be convinced to attempt to break the shield just enough to get you in. She's also been holding onto one of those Jamba Hearts you've been collecting , so you should probably go to her next. That is, if the hoards of summoned enemies don't get in your way. Good luck..." And with that, Flamberge made her departure. After a moment of thought, it was starting to dawn on Kirby and the gang just how bad the situation was starting to get...
Anyway there's the lore dump for today! There's so much that I've almost hit Youtube's description character limit lmao. I'm sorry I'm so bad at condensing things ^^; But yes, so this whole time Kirby has been gathering the Jamba Hearts! That was his original mission until Fractured Star Dream started interfering with everything. But what was Kirby going to do with them? Surely he wouldn't do the unthinkable... right? Only time will tell. And with that, as always, thanks for watching ;)
