In 2013, I drew this as a sort of homage to my favorite boss fight of all time. Kirby was my first ever video game, and I’ve always loved the Kirby series and how bright and cheery it is. So when I played The Crystal Shards for the first time and I got to this boss, I was totally taken aback by this fallen angel and its heavy theme song, you could feel just how much it was truly suffering. Everything was so seemingly happy at first glance, I had no idea about the unrelenting pain and sadness that had been deep within until it was too late, and by then, all I had wanted to do was help purge its sorrow.
