Description The result of an unusual, but funny conversation I had with . We were talking about Punch-Out when he thought of that if a sequel were made on the WiiU or 3DS, what if Pit from Kid Icarus was guest opponent?

Given that Pit has recently spent a good deal battling underworld hordes, alien invaders (the Aurum), and even overthrew a few gods (Medusa and Hades), fighting in the boxing ring would be something up his alley. Another idea that had us laughing was having Lady Palutena as his cornerperson, with her usual bits of advise, slight sarcasm, and jokes. Needless to say, all that had me itching to give this a shot.

For this, I decided to draw Pit shirtless, while I'm not good at anatomy, Pit is pretty basic, so getting the lines was pretty quick, but the tough parts were Pit's face and hairstyle- Pit's eyes are pretty rounded, and I'm not used to doing anime eyes. As for Pit's hair and laurel crown, one thing added to another, and... by the time I finished, his hair pretty much turned into a mane... but it did turn out decent..

As for Pit's garb, I decided to do a mix- I kept his sandal/boots since those were pretty functional, considering all the walking, running, dodging Pit does on ground combat. The trunks, I added the belt buckle from his toga, and added a standard Greek pattern on the cuffs. I made them short and kept Pit's black tights since it wouldn't look much like Pit without them.

The wings were a bit tricky, but I did have some minor experience drawing them, prior to this, so it was a matter of getting the overall bits right.

I haven't figured out a color scheme yet, barring the boots, but I might do the trunks white with brown and gold, to keep in touch with Pit's toga. As for the gloves, I haven't decided yet.

Overall, this was a fun experiment to do, one I needed to get through a small block I had, yesterday. I'm interested in seeing how the color update will turn out.

Pit, Palutena, Kid Icarus, and Punch-Out all belong to Nintendo

That's quite a conversation you had to give you this idea of Pit being a boxer. Well, it's silly chats like these that give us ideas of what to draw, and even act as motivation.

Looks awesome! I just got Kid Icarus Uprising a few days ago, but it would be cool to see Pit in a role like this. With the appropriate comical exchange with Palutena of course. Maybe she signed him up to fight without his knowledge or something to that extent to toughen him up a bit. Anyway, great work as always!

Oh, that would be hilarious, and something I would not put past Palutena.

I forgot that we have to come up with a special battle cry for Pit here. Couldn't have an awesome fight without Pit's battle cry!

*makes a gesture similar to lining up one's knuckles*
"Hope you got a good defense, Pit... or you're going to take a short nap."

*comes in with two right jabs and a left cross aimed at Pit's face* (maybe we should move this to the notes?)

(Sure, but first I should probably finish up my interview)

POW! WHAM!

*Pit stumbles back from the blows, but regains his footing immediately. Looks up at Raven, wipes his nose with his glove and smirks*

Oh! So that how it is, huh? Well then, guessing play time's over!

*pounds gloves together*

Looks like that woke you up. Let's see if your fists are as fast as your tongue. *beckons Pit over with right glove*

You sir, are the Champion of AWESOMENESS! He looks like he was made for the ring! Heck, he's taken Greek boxing up to a whole new level! Now, if only if Next-Level Games announces the supposed Punch-Out sequel, I'll let you have the honor of spreading the word to the every fan and demand to NLG to have Pit in it! A minor issue I like to point out is that Pit's left forearm is a little short. Other than that, this has to be your crowning moment of awesome! Until you come out with the colored version, that is.

The Left arm can be fixed- I just need to alter it so that it looks more tucked to his side. It does look short the way it is, now that I see it that way.

I do like the idea of that- if NLG decided to do that- Donkey Kong was a pretty out-there choice, outside his size. It would be fun to see Mac fight someone who's not only smaller than he is, but one who knows how to fight. In this way, Mac himself would learn not to do what his opponents have taken for granted: that things are not what they appear at first glance.

Oh! Wait! I meant his right forearm, not the left! Sorry for mixing up with his left and rights. But anyway, yeah, I can see the left arm needing to look more tucked in, but I think it looks fine either way.

Thank you.

Sometimes, it's the works you don't expect to do that are the most memorable.
