So, um...yeah. This is sort of the reason why I've been inactive for so long. Since school started back up, I've also been taking 3D modeling classes using Maya, and so with some clever UV editing tricks, I made a somewhat decent model of Kirby. Note, these are just prototype/showcase renders, I might fully complete one in the near future.
