Description
Mr. Butterfly looks a little angry. .______.

Just about every Kirby fan has seen this by now, so hopefully I'm not responsible for putting anyone into shock, but... this is Meta Knight's original design before he apparently was given bat wings instead of butterfly wings. See the official picture here: [link]

I had massive problems with this because of the mask design and wings (where most of my time was spent. 9 hours?! I'd say half of that was spent on making them, and then trying to glue them on. Couldn't find my hot glue gun so the wings are being held down with cheap school glue). I also intensely hate butterflies because of a science project I did a while back. NEVER. EVER. Do butterflies for a periodic table theme.

I want to take a moment to say that actually, this butterfly design really fits the Kirby universe's colorful and happy atmosphere, but if this was the original Meta Knight design, I only wonder how the sprite would have looked. I think the bat-winged Meta Knight was easier to do in sprite form, which was probably why it eventually got picked.

But Sakurai, WHY? Why didn't you use your design for another character at the very least? D:

Dimensions: 4" in height, 5" in width
Total Time: Around 9 hours

Meta Knight (c) Nintendo and HAL
Sculpey clay, acrylic paint, wire, gloss
