[Kirby30] Dream Collection sketch

It’s the 20th anniversary all over again in the 30th anniversary celebration! It’s a Kirby game, I can’t skip it!

This will be the last float in phase 2 of the project. I think Return to Dream Land and Dream Collection marks a good enough turning point to the Kirby series to fit the finale of the phase.

This was originally going to include all of the different Kirby designs from the classic era, but I realized that classic Kirby never really became a thing until Star Allies, so the gold pixel Kirby statue is a good alternative.

As part of the original thesis for the project, each float would’ve had a Japanese variant if there were enough differences between regions. An example would be that certain enemies in the Dream Land float would use their typical design instead of the NA box art versions, and of course, Kirby would be pink instead of white. This float would’ve been another to have noticeable differences in the game box arts. Maybe I’ll revisit them and make those variants once the project is over.

Be on the lookout for the Return to Dream Land float releasing this Friday 2/24 to coincide with the release of KRtDLDX! I put a ton of effort into it so it needs a biiit more time in the oven, but I’m so excited to share it.
