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.

Well I need to figure out how to do copy abilities for my Kirb gijinka first. Ball (Kirby) is Life!

I think you must be the first ever person to make a Ball Kirby gijinka. Ever.
That sounds so cool! I really want to do it! But, I would need help however.

KirbyTardos In reply to Jeroeswu [2018-04-20 10:15:29 +0000 UTC]

Probably xD And it's likely I'll never draw him again.
What would you need help with?

RIP Ball Kirby. 2018 - 2018
Trying to get all the copy abilities listed. Including the mandatory ones. But, thinking them up is something I have issues about.

xDD
Yeah, coming up with a good idea can be hard! I try and think about what real-life thing the copy ability is based on.

Jeroeswu In reply to KirbyTardos [2018-04-20 21:19:05 +0000 UTC]

I would do that too. But, sometimes some of the abilities are....similar. Which makes it harder.Β

KirbyTardos In reply to Jeroeswu [2018-04-20 21:36:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's the biggest issue I have. Like, how do I design Throw when Backdrop, Suplex, and Fighter all look almost exactly the same?

Different Martial Arts Uniforms? I mean Fighter is pretty much Ryu I guess, minus the brows.Β

Ooh, I guess I haven't done a karate uniform yet, huh? That would be cool

If only there were ways for different fight types of Kirby. But you should do it.

The bandage I found in the yo-yo ability reminds me of a certain protagonist as well.

I really love a lot of these designs! I've always wanted to do some of the designs myself

Thanks! You totally should, I love seeing different people make different designs of the same things! It's so cool to see things interpreted in so many different ways~
