Random: Pokemon Art Director Shares What He Thinks A Wario-Like Counterpart Of Kirby Would Look Like
As a number of readers will know by now, Pokemon Sword/Shield’s art director James Turner is still a fairly active illustrator even when he isn’t working on the Pokemon franchise itself. In fact, Turner has had a particular penchant for drawing adorable fanart of Nintendo’s pink puffball Kirby in some truly bizarre scenarios – and these past weeks have been no exception!
Recently, Turner shared more of his personal doodles – where he conjures up his own hypothetical version of what Kirby’s “evil” counterpart might look like. Taking cues from how the greedy Wario contrasts Mario, this not-so-heroic inversion of Kirby would be lazier and certainly not as nice!

The yellow pattern on the top of his head is said to have appeared because Wakirby is always thinking about gold and money 💰

What do you think of this strange inversion of the pink puffball? How would you create an “evil” version of Kirby?
