The Skull Kid from Majora's Mask stands on top of the Clock Tower, dancing in a jeering manner. Behind him, the Moon leers with hearts in its eyes. The text reads, "I'm over the MOON for you!"

Assist Trophy Valentines, Day 3: The Burrowing Snagret (plus a few Pikmin)!

#art #nintendo #smashbros #supersmashbros #ssb #ssbu #assisttrophy #assisttrophies #valentines #valentine #valentinesday #pikmin #burrowingsnagret #snagret

The Burrowing Snagret from the Pikmin series bursts out of the ground with hearts in its eyes. In the foreground, a red and yellow Pikmin are fleeing from it, the yellow Pikmin tripping as it goes. In the background, the ghosts of many Pikmin are visible, having been implicitly devoured by the Snagret. The text reads, "You're really something to crow about!"

The four Ghosts from Pac-Man are in front of a pink-colored Pac-Man maze. All Power Pellets are shaped like hearts, and a strawberry is placed in front of the center box. The text reads, "You're a-MAZE-ing, Valentine!"

Callie and Marie are each holding large pink hearts with Inkling text on them. The background is off-white, with magenta and lime green hearts alternating, with droplets of ink as though they were splattered on. The (non-Inkling) text reads, "You're INKredible, Valentine!"

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! I'm an artist and writer who likes to work with vibrant, popping colors! Really into Kingdom Hearts, but I also make original characters and projects!

If you wanna support me, I have a Ko-fi! ko-fi.com/dedennechu

#BlackSky #ArtSky #OCSky #KingdomHearts

A colorful comic cover mock-up. A title font reads "Lupona: Call of the Moon".

At the center is a dark skinned character with long pinkish brown hair rolled into a drill-shaped ponytail. They have triangular dog-like ears on their head and wide brown eyes in a doe-eyed expression. Their outfit is that of a traveling magic-caster, and in their hands is a carved crook staff of reddish wood and thin green, leafy vines. The end holds a large bud of a pink flower.

Behind them is 4 panels displaying mono-colored characters. The first is a girl in pink with flowing wavy hair tied back in a bunny bow scarf. Around her neck is a long flowing scarf. She has a stern look on her face, a mole under her sharp eyes, and a nick of a scar over her nose.

The second panel is a goat-like woman in green with blotching patterns along her face. Her hair is thick and tightly waved. A floppy goat ear peeks out of her hair, pierced with an ear ring at the edge, and a visble strong goat horn protrudes behind her bangs. Her eyes are tired and relaxed and her hand is reaching for the viewer, displaying black claws and round paw beans on her finger tips.

The third panel is a cloaked man in purple, his back to the viewer and his long flowing cloak flapping on a breeze as he stands in a field. He appears ominous as his features are entirely concealed from behind.

The last panel is of a feline-like girl in teal, smiling wide at the camera and displaying her fangs. Hair long hair is styled with curls and twists of drilled pigtails, her triangular ears also on display. Her long fluffy tail is tied with a large, neat bow. She waves a hand at the viewer as she looks eager to see them.

An artwork of Sora and Riku from Kingdom Hearts. Riku is gazing up at Sora, who's holding his face lovingly. The sunlight behind Sora's head makes him appear like a heavenly figure as a strange halo of light is circled behind him. He's casting a shadow over Riku's face and Riku looks troubled and exhausted, but longing.

A colorful artwork of Sora and Kairi as children, reading stories in a pillow fort. The artwork above is a depiction of their imaginations of the story, Sora being a prince trapped in a high tower while Kairi is the knight coming to rescue him with sword in hand. Standing between them is a large, violet dragon with a long teal tongue slithering out like a snake's.

An artwork of an OC, Hinata. She's wearing a frilly dress of white, pink, and blue. She has a crown on her head and a hairpin that's shaped like hearts, the crown having angel wings. She's laying among patchwork pillows of various bright colors, as if posed for an adorable photoshoot. Little cartoon angel versions of herself are posed around her, looking a bit like stickers.

#art #nintendo #smashbros #supersmashbros #ssb #ssbu #assisttrophy #assisttrophies #valentines #valentine #valentinesday #earthbound #mother #mother2 #jeffandonuts

Jeff Andonuts from EarthBound holds hands with Tony from the same game, a bouquet of flowers in his free hand. Tony does the same, a box of chocolates in his hand. The background is pink, with hearts of alternating darker and lighter shades to decorate it. The text reads, "I'm AndoNUTS about you!"
