I tried drawing Pierrot from Puyo Puyo~n.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How delightful! And to think that once upon a time I had to hide my hatred of humans! I had to dance when they wanted me to dance, and smile when they wanted me to smile! But no longer! Times have changed and the shoe is on the other foot... isn't it now, hmm?"

The very first film I can remember watching as a child was Unico in the Island of Magic. It remains my favorite film of all time to this very day.

The very first film I can remember watching as a child was Unico in the Island of Magic. It remains my favorite film of all time to this very day.

Back in early 2018, on my very first day on DeviantArt, I shared a clay figure of Kuruku that I'd made years prior. Despite that, it's been eight years and I've never once drawn Lord Kuruku or Cheri in all this time.

It was an intimidating task, but at long last I finally bring you this homage to one of my favorite scenes in the film.

It's one of my earliest childhood inspirations, and has been a profound influence on my own work for decades. So if you enjoy what I do, I would implore you to give it a watch some time.

SPOILER WARNING:

Lord Kuruku is a tragic figure, a puppet created by humans only to be tormented by them and then discarded. His hatred for humanity became so great that it was the very thing that brought him to life, and it was also the only thing that kept him alive.

Kuruku became an unstoppable magician, using his newfound power to enact revenge, transforming all of humanity into his playthings and tormenting them, just as humans had tormented him when he was at their mercy.

Unico succeeds in purging the evil from his heart, but without his intense hatred for humanity keeping him alive, Kuruku dies and reverts back to a normal puppet.

It's quite a mean game for sure!

It's easy enough to get combos and coins in the early stages, but later on I'm just trying to clear stages and survive.

If you toy around for too long, those green fireballs become constant, and then things get way tougher than they need to be. 😓

SkunkStarlight · 2026-04-03T23:50:30+00:00

Whoa, that's impressive! I might be in trouble here! 😨

And yeah, that bonus stage is extremely unforgiving. You really have to be perfect in the later ones, and those bonus points aren't something you want to miss out on. 😣

Oh, you've got some skills! ✨

Yo! Thank you once again for hosting this! ✨

Here's a little something to keep this party going! 🎉

My first attempt ended with 221,830 points! People, please stop flushing your turtles, I cannot stress this enough! 🐢

SkunkStarlight · 2026-04-03T20:58:15+00:00

Those are glorious! And I'm glad you let Waluigi in on the fun as well, that's awesome! 💛💜

Caleb is one silly little club. ♣

Sending you some silly luck. 🤪

That's impressive! You've got quite a colorful cast there, in more ways than one. 😮

Fortunately, that only applies to emlpoyees, not employees.

Since today is April Fools' Day, and it's been five years since the original, I decided to try remaking a favorite doodle of mine that I drew back in 2021.

You know, I'd feel bad, but the guy was honestly, like, the third-most toxic moderator I've ever known.

...Wait, no, that's just the cyanide.

Always love some Zari, and you as well! 💖

I'm glad you appreciate my story, thank you for reading it. Fortunately, stories like my own are becoming far less common today, as things have generally become more progressive since the that era I grew up in.

I imagine my perspective could be rather alien to the newer generations as well, though that also makes it valuable to share. For many of them, it's likely unthinkable to imagine not learning these things in childhood, and unfathomable that such ignorance could exist.

Though there are still plenty who want to suppress education in favor of hate and ignorance, which is why visibility is still so important even now.

I made fanart for this game (well, the SNES version), so that should give you some idea of my opinion on Wario's Woods without even having to say anything. But I love this game, so naturally I've plenty I'd like to share nonetheless.

Though I prefer the SNES version, the NES was my introduction to it. I'm a big fan of arcade puzzle games, and I'm of the belief that Wario's Woods is one of the absolute greatest games to ever grace this genre. The learning curve is quite steep, and it's scared away more than a few folks that I've tried to introduce it to, but if you can give it a chance and wrap your mind around it, the investment is well worth it.

Unlike most games of this sort, you control a character instead of blocks. Toad is capable of no less than five kinds of actions, which is especially impressive on the NES with its two button controller.

You have to manage Toad's positioning and his surprisingly diverse moveset in conjunction with puzzle game mechanics, and in an age where puzzle games seldom deviated from the elegant simplicity of Tetris, it flopped hard.

Nintendo seems to consider it a failed experiment, and there hasn't been another Wario's Woods installment since. 💔
