Galacta Knight!!

That’s right…I know a lot of people wanted this one, although I discovered that shortly after I had already begun it.

Anyways for those who don’t know, this is a boss in the new Kirby DS game who bears a striking resemblance to Meta Knight.  Some think it’s Meta Knight’s father, some think it’s Meta Knight from the future; whatever or whoever it is, he’s awesome.  Check it out.

Yes, I know the “G” is backwards…Odd mistake…

Purple “Lance”…That’s right

Who’s he cutting here?

“YOU DIE KIRBY!!”

“MY FEATHERS ARE MISSING?!!”

Shoryuken?

Glowing…

    hey this is great. looking good. i love what you did with the mask and all that.

  3. Gravatar Icon 3 JrDude Oct 4th, 2008 at 11:44 pm

    Cool, though I’ve never seen him before, I like it.

  4. Gravatar Icon 4 ShadowXSnake Oct 5th, 2008 at 12:15 am

    Oh my god I love you guys. This is the coolest thing like, evur.

    Super Star Ultra has got to be the best remake of a game ever, and Galacta Knight kicks so much ass it isn’t even funny. Harder to beat than Marx Soul by FAR.

    Now if you could only do a Masked DDD somehow, Revenge of the King was freaking badass. XD

    I actually like the inverted G xD

    Awesome job on this one, this is simply phenominal, the Mask is crazy.

  6. Gravatar Icon 6 S. Oct 5th, 2008 at 2:37 am

    Odd why the G is inverted, but that doesn’t prevent this texture hack from being awesome. Nice work on the mask; I was beginning to wonder if it could be done that way.

    Liero, you know I ALWAYS used to say “This one is by far my favorite” … well I changed my mind on those.

    THIS is by far, my favorite, Galacta Knight rules! ^^ And he’s almost perfectly done as well!

    Good Job Liero, *applause*

  8. Gravatar Icon 8 SkillzThatKillz56 Oct 5th, 2008 at 5:51 am

    This is by far the best texture you made.

  9. Gravatar Icon 9 Nick Oct 5th, 2008 at 6:38 am

  10. Gravatar Icon 10 DarkHunter2 Oct 5th, 2008 at 6:52 am

    love it. just love it.

  11. Gravatar Icon 11 ghostofherooftime Oct 5th, 2008 at 6:53 am

    I’m sure if i had played Kirby Super Star Ultra i would be a lot more excited about this, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it still ROCKS

  12. Gravatar Icon 12 Naraku2000 Oct 5th, 2008 at 7:28 am

    damn, this is one big spoiler to me. D: Good work though.

  13. Gravatar Icon 13 Knucklesthegreat Oct 5th, 2008 at 8:01 am

    THIS IS EPIC WIN. FORDEVER!

  14. Gravatar Icon 14 fortyniner235 Oct 5th, 2008 at 9:36 am

    I really want to play this game.

  15. Gravatar Icon 15 Lord Prosper Oct 5th, 2008 at 9:41 am

    Just when I thought you guys couldn’t get anymore awesome, you make Galacta Knight. Freaking awesome work.

  16. Gravatar Icon 16 Nick Oct 5th, 2008 at 10:50 am

    Still waiting on my game in the mail… Sigh… Does he have feathers for real o.O?

  17. Gravatar Icon 17 Reoyoshi8 Oct 5th, 2008 at 11:51 am

    lol I just beat him today too…

  18. Gravatar Icon 18 johto555 Oct 5th, 2008 at 1:18 pm

    In my opinion, this is just as awesome as the Metroid texture hacks you guys have done. And that’s saying something.

  19. Gravatar Icon 19 C.Olimar788 Oct 5th, 2008 at 2:18 pm

    Oh man this is just SO cool. :D It ranks up there with Dark Samus, Mr. L, and Dry Bowser in my book.

    Although might I recommend adding a spoiler warning? I know that I personally would be rather annoyed if I had seen this before fighting that boss.

  20. Gravatar Icon 20 Ridley Oct 5th, 2008 at 5:04 pm

    Can you edit the wings to look like feathers or no?

  21. Gravatar Icon 21 Onyx Oct 5th, 2008 at 6:35 pm

    Awesome texture, but you could have done better.

    For 1.You could have re textured his wings to look more like feathers.
    2. You could have make the spikes on his sword invisible to give it more of a lance look. (You did it with Lucas’ stick….I’m not 100% sure if you can do it on his sword though…)

    Everything else is perfect.

  22. Gravatar Icon 22 Segab Oct 5th, 2008 at 7:07 pm

    His feathers are missing, and so is his shield
    but you can’t do anything for that so..

    anyways, that’s just AWESOME

    *I just beat the boss a couple of minutes ago lol*

  23. Gravatar Icon 23 Androu1 Oct 5th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    OH NOES! U WENT THAR! Seriously,we at Stack Smash already did it…like a week ago,haven’t even compiled it anyway.I guess you guys don’t care if we release ours too either way,anyway…right?

    It’s pretty nice…

  24. Gravatar Icon 24 ok Oct 6th, 2008 at 1:13 am

    This made me order the game, putting me in debt. Thanks a lot. ;P

  25. Gravatar Icon 25 GanLnkZld Oct 6th, 2008 at 6:57 am

    Since you guys are replacing the tectures, you know what every part of the originals look like, right? I was wondering, does Meta Knight have a face under his mask?

  26. Gravatar Icon 26 Lord Prosper Oct 6th, 2008 at 11:51 am

    Meta Knight has a face under there. He looks just like Kirby.

  27. Gravatar Icon 27 olimar64 Oct 6th, 2008 at 2:58 pm

    Great.

    Only prob is colos on the vertical gash in the mask, area around it is lighter than rest of mask.

    Sorry for whack grammar, typing this on portable device.

  28. Gravatar Icon 28 chaoscntrl Oct 7th, 2008 at 4:02 am

    I hope someday you learn to ADD things to character models, so he can have his horns.

  29. Gravatar Icon 29 taishekii Oct 7th, 2008 at 5:41 am

    pretty damn awesome.
    but yeah, the horns would add a nice touch if at all possible.

  30. Gravatar Icon 30 me Oct 7th, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    hey…

    I noticed that in all of your captions you point out all the flaws. I guess thats why we don’t hundreds of pictures ( =

  31. Gravatar Icon 31 Dhragen Oct 7th, 2008 at 3:07 pm

    Awesome boss is Awesome, great texture. I see you still dont get ride of the blue arms of Galacta, like the Meta Vader one, but well, small details that dont make the texture less awesome, YEAH!!, :P

  32. Gravatar Icon 32 ShadowSonic Oct 8th, 2008 at 3:34 pm

    couldn’t you just retexture the wings as feathers? O.o

  33. Gravatar Icon 33 DaKing Oct 9th, 2008 at 6:28 am

    Nice Street Fighter reference.

  34. Gravatar Icon 34 Vivec Oct 9th, 2008 at 10:50 am

    Astonishingly awesome but, as a lot of people have said already, maybe the spikes on the blade can be edited. As another example, when presenting Meta Vader the spikes were black and it was said they’ll be removed, or something along the lines. On the feather part, it can get pretty awkward to retexture those wings to feathered ones…but after the Zelda short-shorts as Rosa, the general feeling is that anything can be done.
    Once more, this is an awesome work you guys are realizing.

  35. Gravatar Icon 35 Shepard Oct 12th, 2008 at 6:03 pm

    Hmm… If you did some transparent texturing on the wings, couldn’t you theoretically shape them to look like feathers and then color the wings to look like feathers?

    Otherwise, fantastic texture, I just love the way the slice in the mask came out looking.

  36. Gravatar Icon 36 Androu1 Oct 12th, 2008 at 7:48 pm

    @Shepard: If you don’t care about his wings having holes and stuff,that can be done (with holes)

  37. Gravatar Icon 37 Death Magnetic Oct 28th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    SO FREAKIN SWEET! AW MAN AND THER IS LIKE SO MUCH DETAIL PUT INTO THE MASK, (applause).

    U ppl shuld like go to the ppl in nintendo nd like make character costumes just like this, that wuld be so bad ass.

  38. Gravatar Icon 38 adamtheamazing64 Nov 26th, 2008 at 12:46 pm

    So wait? Did you just recolor him on paint or anything else or is he a hacked color for the game?

  39. Gravatar Icon 39 Naraku20000 Nov 26th, 2008 at 1:14 pm

    …PAINT?! Did you ever work with Paint or do you SERIOUSLY NOT KNOW that Paint is not capable of doing such things? Or why the heck did you say Paint? Do you know anyone who could do such things with PAINT without going insane?

    And why were you unable to read further on this site what project this is? Yes, this is hacking, but it stands big fat and bride somewhere on this website. Also, this ain’t the official website anymore if you at least read one of the last updates. I don’t want to be offensive, really, but couldn’t you inform yourself before asking questions which answers are very big fat and bride spread on the very same website?
