META KNIGHT **

* PLEASE ZOOM IN HIM!
> Had never I spared some time to learn and render a piece while doing it (so here I watched videos on how to make metal surfaces, shiny bits, glows and more); three days later, here we are!
> It is my reading of this character. You can see that some characteristics of his metal mask and his sword are different; it's because I tried to (at least in my vision) give him a more oldschool or simpler design, since I'm really into it this week, as I'm reviewing some oldschool Zaku II (Gundam) designs from the 90s.

** ABOUT THE POSE:
> Started out without references and later saw that I had done one of the most iconic Meta Knight poses (swear it is a coincidence), but him being a ball there isn't much room to rotate and make it look dinamic, so I think it was only natural to achieve this pose in the end. I was a bit sad it looked so much like the poses he is doing in the game, but he looks cool here so, I'll roll with it.
> Really though on erasing and changing an arm or a leg, but choose to stick with my initial though and make what I first envisioned for him. Maybe this pose was in my brain for a long time and that's why it came so natural.

*** FUTURE:
> I WILL finishi this drawing in the future. It just happens that I want to post it now and then, to see my improoving. Looking forward on doing both a cape and wings version, with even more rendering and better colors, as soon as I learn how to do so.
> I used only Photoshop and nothing else, as I will when re-doing it.
