Its very basic but its actual just based on a kirby in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! (tv show) so i just made it how it is in the show
Next im going to model meta knight, heres a ref https://smashbros.planets.gamespy.com...metaknight.jpg
I might model kirby meta knight first cos theres less to him, then build it up to make meta knight

Meta knight has defiantly been the most difficult so far although the mask was surprisingly easy

I think he needs to be holding something, maybe a gun? I might model one later

I might make a toon wall-e, what do you think?
btw I've nearly finished meta knights sword but I'm having problems with the toon outline, I might have to leave it without, or I could do what I did star trek kirby's tricorder and extrude certain edges to make sure they have an outline and just not assign it to problem edges
