Paper Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Roster! - Inkling!

Hello, dear viewer, and welcome to the Lunar Nebula Art Channel! I’m learning digital art and thought you might want to join me as I go through my process of vector art in Affinity Designer. I go through my vector art process of creating a Paper Mario style character from the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster! I hope you enjoy it, dear viewer!

Note: My recording device is having issues. You'll see some artifacts in this video because some of my process still got captured...kinda. I hope to solve the problem by next week if possible. Have a good day!

Nintendo already took care of many of the Mario characters, and I’ve done a few others like DK, Fox, Link, and Samus in the past. I’m using the program Affinity Designer to get the art made.

Note: Reference Images are found on Google images and don’t belong to me. This whole project is for fun. I really liked the Paper Bowser Jr. art I found and used it as a reference. I did not create the left Paper Bowser Jr. image.

I’m still having issues recording Affinity Designer. I think it’s a software thing I can’t fix. I’m hoping a future update will take care of it : (
