Description
By popular demand, Meta Knight is the next to have his costume designs charted! He goes through barely four outfits throughout the show, less than half of Fumu's amount. I'm splitting him up into only two pages, and here's number one.He wears that black suit for so damn long that I couldn't list all of the musicals underneath it like I usually do. Instead I just had to write "'The Mirror/Angel of Music' through 'All I Ask of You (Reprise),'" and then add in yet ANOTHER place where he wears it, in "Wandering Child/Bravo, Bravo." I know it's much simpler than the Phantom's suit in either the movie or the stage show, but it's hard to make clothes look right on puffballs, and this is also a costume that I will theoretically have to draw in exactly the same way over and over again...so yeah. The relative tininess of his mask is intentional.
The Red Death outfit is more like the 2004 movie than the musical, and believe me, I would much prefer to have it be exactly like the stage show...but I can't. Seriously, I can't figure out a good way to put that skull head on Meta Knight. At the very least, I gave him a big hat with a feather in it to make him look more "intimidating." The area around his eyes is black because of makeup.
On the subject of his eyes, please don't tell me that Meta Knight shouldn't have pupils, as I've gotten those comments on a few other pieces. In Hoshi no Kaabii, we never see what Meta Knight looks like behind his mask, and because of how unmoving his eyes are in the show, I don't think that they're real; rather, I think that they're only part of the mask. And for Season 1.5, I have decided that his eyes aren't pure white or pure yellow, and that they look like Kirby's but with slightly different coloring. If you don't like it that way, oh well, just draw it differently in your own art and get used to seeing it like that in mine.
