[Kirby30] Forgotten Land sketch

And now, the one we've all been waiting for.

Simply put, this one had to be huge. The line between parade float and diorama is almost nonexistent, but that's okay because it's Forgotten Land! A true milestone in the Kirby franchise and finale of the parade project. Of course it had to be spectacular.

Funny how this one ended up more city-like than Air Ride's City Trial-focused float. The world of Forgotten Land is so interesting and visually stunning, and I wanted the different buildings to feel cohesive with one another. I chose ones that made an impression on me; I particularly thought the Hotel building would be fun to have in there.

Of course, what would this project be if it didn't include an actual parade from the games? Coincidentally, the Wondaria Dream Parade is my favorite level in the game too.

I've got a pretty big mountain to climb with this one, but it'll be worth it. Throughout the whole project I've always wondered what the finale would look like, and I think it'll live up to those expectations.
