Description Click here to read about the thought process that went into designing my copy ability gijinkas!

Gosh, this took so long, but I'm really happy with each and every one of these copy abilities! The funny thing is though, I made this reference sheet so that I can draw the copy abilities consistently, but I have a feeling that I'm not going to draw most of these again. ._. But if I do want to draw them, they're right here. And if you want to look at them for inspiration, to draw them yourself, or just for fun, they're here for you! (disclaimer: never claim a design as your own, always give credit) I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them! And for the people who have contributed reference images and ideas, thank you so much! You were a huge help and I'm very grateful!
Thanks for looking at my art!

change log. they go newest to oldest
~Redesigned Wing Kirby to hopefully be more respectful to indigenous people I hope I succeeded!
~Updated Kirby's hair and skin color, which I "officially" changed a while back. I also changed Staff Kirby's outfit colors to something that looked better.
~Added Copy and Whip... which completes the thing! oh and i edited tornado a bit
~Added Cook, Bubble, Galaxia, Suplex, Festival, Missile, Metal, and Doctor! I also made minor edits to Laser and Ghost. I'm only 4 away from completion and I'm so excited!
~Added Ball!
~I updated Yo-Yo, fixed mistakes on Bomb and Snow Bowl, and added Staff!
~Added Hi-Jump and made room for the new abilities! Also, I updated the little comments in the blank spaces.
~Added Artist and Flare Beam!

SO. MANY. COPY. ABILITIES.
So, as you can see, this isn't 100% complete, but it's getting there. I just thought it was about time I posted it! So I put in little notes to fill the gaps. If you have an idea for a copy ability design, tell me, but don't beg me to take your suggestion. Also, I'm not going to take any suggestions for copy ability redesigns.

But yeah! Copy ability gijinkas! This has been an ongoing project for a REALLY long time, and I'm really happy to finally show it to y'all for real. Feel free to ask me about any of them - a lot of thought went into each design, and I'd love to share my thoughts. I don't want to spend hours typing out this description is all. xD

I left out abilities that are just weapons and don't change Kirby at all. Like the Shard Gun. I see that as Kirby just using a weapon he's not familiar with. And Starship - to me, that's not an ability, that's a vehicle. Wheelie Rider is just Kirby with the Wheelie Rider hat. He keeps his copy ability outfit if he has one.

gijinkas okay,but why do all of these gijinkas look so feminine?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

KirbyTardos In reply to masterball2 [2018-07-07 05:01:59 +0000 UTC]

I've actually gone through these and sorted them into masculine, feminine, and neutral, and to be honest I think most leaned towards masculine. I think the fem ones just stand out more because they're unusual? I think you and I have different perceptions of gender expression. I don't think about that stuff when I design gijinkas - I just do what I like and what I feel fits best. I think there are outfits here that a normal guy wouldn't wear, but I could see a girl pulling off most of them. So yeah.

masterball2 In reply to KirbyTardos [2018-07-08 15:37:54 +0000 UTC]

so many of them look feminine to me,especially the ones that look like they're wearing dresses or skirts.

KirbyTardos In reply to masterball2 [2018-07-08 23:19:26 +0000 UTC]

I don't consider skirts feminine necessarily ^^
tunics and kilts are things that exist, they're just not really in fashion anymore

masterball2 In reply to KirbyTardos [2018-07-09 01:11:45 +0000 UTC]

well,i'm ageneder,though iwas born male. i sometimes wear skirts and sometimes wear dresses. i sometimes wear pants and a shirt. which gijinkas do you consider as feminine?

KirbyTardos In reply to masterball2 [2018-07-09 09:58:12 +0000 UTC]

Ah, okay. I'm an NB trans guy btw
Well, I definitely think Snow Bowl Kirby looks feminine, but idrc xD I think gender expression and gender identity are very different things. Actually my Kirby is agender but is usually called "he" because it's easy and he doesn't care.
I guess a noteworthy thing with my copy abilities is Love-Love Stick, where I tried for a kinda "magical girl" aesthetic while being fairly masculine. So it's pink and has hearts and stuff but I still think a male character seems more likely to wear it, if that makes sense.
If you're asking about my gijinkas in general... Well, my most feminine gijinka is definitely Sectonia xD But I really like feminine boys and masculine girls, so you'll see that kind of person from me more than you generally will from other people, I think.
Sorry if this was really long and hard to understand, it's 3 AM and I'm on my phone rn xD

kirby seems to be confirmed male in countries that speak either English or a romance language, but Kirby's biological sex is not confirmed in Japan. I know of a boy who became a magical girl, even wearing a frilly dress as a magical girl. (or should I say,magiclad girl). his name is ayumu. (have you ever heard of is this a zombie?) also, some males constantly save magical girls. Coupe is constantly saving cure blossom. Tuxedo Mask constantly saves sailor moon.

Now all you have to do is wait 'till the next game and see what you'll get!


(Anyways, you have forgotten the Kabuki ability, because the 'true form' that came with the ending was kinda cool I guess, maybe you should give it a try. Plus, I got a good inspiration for it: try JapaneseΒ clothing!")

KirbyTardos In reply to NintendoLearner [2018-05-03 05:01:49 +0000 UTC]

yeah! xD

(I didn't forget Kabuki. I didn't include it because I don't consider it canon, nor do I really care about it tbh)
