Artist

"Set out on a voyage of training with a colorful paintbrush on your side! Materialize yummies to share with your friends. It's like magic! Art has the power to save the world!"

- Flavor Text

Artist is a Copy Ability in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Star Allies.

General Information
Artist grants Kirby a paintbrush weapon. Roughly half of the ability's moves are short-ranged, dealing in brush swings. Artist's other moves, however, have great range and attack power; Painter creates images that move forward and attack while Sculpture and Creative Destruction have Kirby carve and swing around stone sculptures. These moves are delayed at first, so careful timing and judgment is required to get the most out of them.

Artist's Brush Slash and Brush Splash moves can paint open canvases to create items like stars and Picture Pieces.

Trivia

 * Artist's concept and design may be inspired by Adeleine, an artist character from Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. This is especially noticeable with the red beret that both she and Artist Kirby wear.
 * The statue of Susie that can be produced using Sculpture is a parody of both the Venus de Milo and various Greek-style statues and fountains of the astrological symbol Aquarius, the water carrier.
 * This ability can be seen as an upgrade to the Paint ability from Kirby Super Star. Instead of being one-use, Kirby creates paintings and swings his brush as a weapon, as well as creating sculptures.
 * Additionally, the Painbrush move, where Kirby covers the screen in paint and discards the ability, works similarly to Paint's main function.
