Gijinka: (Meta Knight) Soldier of the Stars

EDIT 6/20/16: This was the first picture of my Meta Knight gijinka that I ever posted on dA. The art and description are extremely dated, and I've finally redrawn this!


--
I've always thought that Kirby gijinkas kick ass. But sadly, not many people realize that there are some characters in the series that would not only look good in human form, but have room for a lot more love, too.

So putting two and two together, I've decided to draw a series of pictures that make the lesser-knowns of Kirby shine. Specifically, the badass characters that we all want more screentime of. And what better way to kick this off than with gijinka GSA!Meta Knight?

Alright, first of all, I know that Meta Knight's not an underappreciated character. What I'm talking about here (and what's drawn above) is Meta Knight as a Star Warrior in the backstory of the anime canon, back when he was still beheading demon beasts and wrestling wolves off cliffs. Yeah, they don't make Meta Knights like they used to. Galaxy Soldier Army!MK isn't something I see much of, let alone in gijinka.

About the art: this is gonna be one of the things I'll eventually look at months later and definitely consider redrawing. In fact, I'm probably going to do that for all of the stuff I'm going to draw with this theme.

^{I just desperately wanted to get this out of my WIP folder, and that was honestly the only way I was able to finish it :/}
