Alt title: "Hoshi No Kubo"

Everyone! If you have not yet seen the new animated movie by Studio Laika-- KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS-- you must do so! It's a visually stunning masterpiece of handcrafted stopmotion wonder. Plus, the Japanese folklore references and stylistic choices are top notch, which may be why I am biased in my love for the flick.

After seeing it on premier night, my mind went wild making connections to the Kirby series, my other infamous obsession. Kubo is a strong yet innocent protagonist just like the hero of Dream Land, and many of his foes and allies directly parallel characters out of the pink puffball's games. With a few reworkings incorporating a mesh of designs from both Kubo and Kirby, I bring you this mighty artwork which reflects my ultimate digital drawing powers.

Please help support the makers of Kubo and the Two Strings by seeing it in theaters before, like the ephemeral summer, it is gone. Big thanks also to the Kirby games and the many joys they bring their fans-- Kirby Planet Robobot being the most recent. I cannot recommend these two great things enough

Doumo arigato gozaimasu to all for viewing my art and spreading the love. Let's look forward to the future of me hopefully uploading more awesome Photoshop creations soon~!
