'''Artist''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. It gives Kirby a magical paintbrush which can be used to splatter enemies in paint, and paint entities that can attack autonomously. Kirby also gains the ability to sculpt stone statues which he can then use to bash enemies with. Artist has two distinct [[Friend Ability|Friend Abilities]] - in [[Still Life]] and [[Rock Painter]].

'''Artist''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that debuted in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. The Artist ability gives [[Kirby]] a magical paintbrush which can be used to splatter enemies in paint, and paint entities that can attack autonomously. Kirby also gains the ability to sculpt stone statues which he can then use to bash enemies with. When Kirby gains the Artist ability, he is given a large wooden paintbrush smothered in rainbow-colored paint. He also gains a red hat which resembles a beret and has a paint-covered star inset near the front, and a splash of green paint on the side. As a final touch, Kirby's right cheek is splashed with light blue paint.


The primary provider of the Artist ability is the mid-boss [[Vividria]], who uses a similar array of attacks. Artist can be seen as a more developed version of the [[Paint]] ability from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' combined with the painting abilities of past bosses such as [[Paint Roller]] and [[Adeleine]]. However, Artist Kirby does not appear to be as skilled as Adeleine when it comes to painting living creatures, as hers are significantly more powerful.
Artist is obtained from [[Vividria]], who also can use this ability when recruited as a [[Helper|Friend]]. It gives both Kirby and the Vividria Friend a red painter cap adorned with a star and splattered with paint. The ability is unlimited use unless the 'Painbrush' technique is used, which causes Kirby to lose the ability. Vividria cannot use 'Painbrush'.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
Artist debuts in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. It is obtained from [[Vividria]] the [[mid-boss]], who also can use this ability when recruited as a [[Helper|Friend]]. It gives both Kirby and the Vividria Friend a red painter cap adorned with a star and splattered with paint. The ability is unlimited use unless the Painbrush technique is used, which causes Kirby to lose the ability. However, Vividria cannot use Painbrush in any mode.


Sprayed paint from Artist attacks can put out fire and destroy [[Electro Saw]]s and [[Zan Partizanne]]'s lightning drums, but cannot provide the [[Splash]] element to allies. When Artist Kirby, Vividria or Adeleine & Ribbon become the rider of [[Friend Star]] or [[Star Allies Sparkler]], they fire bullets with no element.

====Version differences====
''Kirby Star Allies'' Version 3.0.0 has added a new painting for the Painter attack of Artist Kirby and Vividria - Full Belly Kirby from ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'', which Adeleine & Ribbon cannot draw.
 
===''Kirby Fighters 2''===
Artist returns as a playable ability in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', unlockable after attaining [[Fighters Rank]] 21. Its moveset has been altered somewhat, removing some techniques and replacing them with new ones. Notably, the Painbrush technique cannot be used here. In addition, some changes were made to existing moves in order to make them better suited for fighting other players, such as being able to change the direction and angle that paintings jump out in when using Painter.
For more precise competitive-oriented information on the Artist ability in ''Kirby Fighters 2'', see [https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Kirby_Fighters_2/Artist Mizuumi Wiki's page].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The refrigerator of [[Still Life]] that spits out [[Food]] is a direct reference to the [[Ice-Spark]] [[Power Combo]] from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''.
*This ability draws heavy inspiration from the character [[Ado]]/[[Adeleine]], whose main power is the ability to paint things that came to life.
*The internal file name for the [[Susie]] statue made by the Sculpture attack is 'Goddess'.
*One of the things Artist Kirby can paint is a refrigerator that spits out [[Food]]. This is a direct reference to the [[Ice-Spark]] [[Power Combo]] from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''.
*The Painbrush attack is directly based off of the [[Paint]] ability from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', even mimicking its limited-use nature.
*The internal file name for the [[Susie]] sculpture made by the Sculpture move is 'Goddess'.
*This ability very likely draws inspiration from the characters [[Ado]] and [[Adeleine]], whose main power is the ability to paint things that came to life. In turn, Adeleine is playable as a [[Dream Friend]] in the same game the ability debuted with similar moves.
*The 'Painbrush' move is directly based off of the [[Paint]] copy ability from ''[[Kirby Super Star]] ([[Kirby Super Star Ultra|Ultra]])'', even mimicking its limited-use nature.
*The paint from the brush swipes are capable of putting out fires and destroying [[Electro Saw]]s and [[Zan Partizanne]]'s lightning drums, but cannot provide the [[Splash]] element.
*Kirby Star Allies Version 3.0.0 has added a new painting for the Painter move: a full-stomach Kirby.
