Almost forgot to mention that in addition to writing Kirby and the Purple Butterfly, I’m also currently running an ask blog over at @ask-rifty-blog, so if you’d like Rifty themselves to answer any questions may have, come on down there and check it out!
It has been my dream for many years to be able to run an ask blog, so I would appreciate very much if anyone could drop just one question! 💜
I knew I had to draw this Waddle Dee as soon as I saw them in the Star Crossed World trailer, I cannot wait to see more of them and what they do! I definitely think they’re an astronomer of some sorts, they love the stars!
Awwww, I love Dizzy presenting Rifty like their baby 🥰 Thank you, isaac! (Also omg dizzy is so smol I love it *holds gently*)

Here’s something I made while experimenting with the light novel artstyle! I’m getting the hang of the rendering
Status Update: Hi everyone! It’s been a bit, huh? Sorry that it’s been a while since I’ve given any updates on the novel project or ask blog 😅 I’ve been a little busy with developing my artstyle + other matters. I should be getting back into the flow of things though and plan on working on Chapter 3 of Purple Butterfly pretty soon! I’ve been working very hard to make sure my work is the best that it can be for your viewing pleasure! I can’t wait to share the next part of Rifty’s story with you all, it’s gonna be quite a big one!
Bonus Monochrome Morpho Arthur:
Happy Easter/Bunny Day!
…Okay, this one isn’t a surprise really. Rifty posed for my drawing earlier to help me figure out how to draw their horns, so they knew this was coming! Still, here’s some reasons to vote for Rifty!
- Their name comes from them falling out of a rift. I think that’s a pretty interesting origin story!
- They’re good friends with Kirby! So if you vote for them, you’ll make Kirby happy!
- They’re purple! Everyone knows purple is the best colour. Short purple kids gotta stick together!
- Don’t you think their horn clip’s cool? I do!

On one winter’s night, as the cold wind blew, Meta Knight looks up into the sky atop the towers of Castle Dedede.
“A star shines bright in the skies of the north, prophesying the birth of another astral starborn. It has been a very long time since an event such as this has occurred, when Kirby made their way to this planet during a spring breeze, but that felt like eons ago.
I wonder why the galaxy believes it needs another one of us again, is there another threat that has yet to put our land in peril? Is there a danger that lurks in the dark once more? Whatever it is, it is clear that there is a reason for this occurrence.
I wonder what you will be like when you arrive. Will you be kind and compassionate like Kirby? Will you be strong and heroic like Dedede? Will you be as brave and considerate as Bandana?
Or will you threaten this land once more like dark matter did years ago?
Will you wish to care for and nurture this land? Or will you wish upon its destruction?
Nay, I mustn't let such thoughts plague my mind, I must stand firm and observant in my judgment…
…and yet I just cannot wait for you to arrive, young one.
I raise my mighty blade in the air for you, awaiting the advent of a brand new star.”

Last minute submission! Name: Rifty Personality: Rifty is a kind-hearted, benevolent being like Kirby. However, unlike Kirby, Rifty is more shy and introverted, though they still enjoy the close company of their friends. Backstory & Lore: Riding in from a winter breeze, Rifty arrived in Dream Land from a mysterious inter-dimensional rift. They have no memory of who they were before, the only thing they remember is waking in Kirby’s house after Kirby took them in from the storm. Rifty has been living in Dream Land for a couple of months now, doing their best to settle into their new peaceful life, all while still being haunted by the past they can’t quite grasp. Bonus Images/Ref Art:
DAMN RIFTY OUT HERE FIGHTING FOR THIER LIFE RN
A short introductory comic about the events of Rifty’s arrival in Dream Land! (I’d like to thank @ommetaphobian for helping me with the snow on the cover image, this artwork wouldn’t be the same without their help!)
This comic briefly describes Rifty’s perspective of their arrival. I also have a short story I wrote that detail the same events from Kirby’s perspective that I’ll hopefully post here sometime soon! I’ve accumulated quite the amount of handwritten OC stories over the past few months 💜
Edit: You can read up on Kirby’s perspective right here!
(Also don’t worry, I have been paying attention to the questions you’ve been giving Rifty & Artemis. I had started working on this comic around the same time I created the ask blog, so I got a little bit busy. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to give you Rifty & Artemis’s responses soon! Stay tuned! 🌹)
I’m gonna be so annoying about this dlc when it comes out you guys have no idea
