	Kirby dots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kirby dots (sometimes Kirby Krackle) are an artistic convention in superhero and science fiction comic books and similar illustrations: a field of fl, roughly circular dots that are used to represent negative space around unspecified kinds of energy.
		Kirby dots are named after Jack Kirby, the highly influential comic book artist whose superhero art frequently featured them.
		They were developed from the use of a pattern of round fl spots to depict smoke or flying debris from explosions, or as a way to manually generate the random patterns that depict the path of lightning strikes.

	Pets - Kirby - The Woodlands @ Dawn
		Kirby, our first kitty, is technically a blue mackerel tabby (I believe), which just means he has the dilute gene (for fl) and has a tiger-stripe pattern (as opposed to swirls, dots etc).
		Kirby is now also known as "The Expensive Kitty" after his bout of Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), formerly known as Feline Urologic Syndrome (FUS).
		In Kirby's case, at first I thought it was the stress from moving, but now I believe it was the fact that after moving we switched from a free-feeding schedule (which he had been on previously) to a fixed-feeding schedule (twice a day).

	Welcome to Kirby's Rainbow Resort!
		Of course, Kirby's sole defense was the inhaling, and that made problems against enemies with ranged attacks.
		Kirby's Beam Whip did 5 HP damage, and that went for the Beam Machine Gun also (though that seems to have some decent damage if the scepter touches the enemy).
		yellow Kirby wears a red and yellow jester hat with white polka dots (going by animé Mirror Kirby's look, they may have been stars, and may have been on both parts of the hat), and holds a green wand with a blue orb at the tip, which he generally keeps concealed unless he's attacking.

	Kirby Canvas Curse > Review
		Kirby's platformers have always been great titles, but this is the first time one has ever had this degree of action and intensity.
		Kirby and the game's enemies all feature amazing animation, but the real star here is the levels themselves, which look like one of a variety of painting styles, from beautiful watercolor landscapes to chic art deco, darker levels that seem to channel the works of Dali...
		Kirby: Canvas Curse may not be a title people could take seriously as a "killer app", but in every other respect it fits that description pretty darn well.

	whatifkirby - stats
		Jack Kirby (August 28, 1917 – February 6, 1994) was one of the most influential, recognizable, and prolific artists in United States comic books.
		The Kirby and Simon partnership ended amicably in 1954 with the comic-book industry beset by self-imposed censorship and negative publicity and the failure of their own Mainline Publications.
		Kirby then returned to Marvel Comics where he both wrote and drew Captain America and created his last major comics concept with the series The Eternals, which featured a race of inscrutable alien giants, the Celestials, whose behind-the-scenes intervention evolved life on Earth.

	TwoMorrows Publishing - Kracklin' Kirby - Kirby Collector Thirtythird Issue
		It's an example of how Kirby rarely if ever used subtle grading in any of his drawings but instead opted for full fl or clear white-a characteristic of his that no doubt was foundational in how and why he was able to discover his Krackle.
		Suddenly, Kirby Krackle is everywhere as the Surfer and his board glow and sputter and seethe and writhe with barely contained energy.
		It seems as if Kirby was from then on unable, or unwilling, to show any power packed fight scene with anything less than the high octane excitement that his krackling fl dots could create.

	Gamerz-Edge - Kirby Canvas Curse Review for Nintendo DS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Kirby Canvas Curse is a completely new type of game that spans dozens of levels – each at least as long as your typical Kirby level – with a form of gameplay that actually is quite deep and enjoyable.
		Kirby’s audio is just as good as ever, though keep in mind you’re getting mostly remixed versions of older Kirby songs.
		While controlling Kirby can become irritating sometimes (such as when you are fighting your way through roaring winds on one particular level), you never feel cheated by the gameplay system.

	Kirby, Jack
		The landmark series became a hit that revolutionized the industry with its true-to-life naturalism and, eventually, a cosmic purview informed by Kirby's seemingly boundless imaginationÄîone that was coincidentally well-matched with the consciousness-expanding youth culture of the 1960s.
		Kirby was often co-plotter of the stories he drew, in the style of the so-called Marvel Method, leading him to introduce elements not mentioned in Lee's scripts; in particular, Kirby is credited as having created the Silver Surfer, who was not mentioned in Lee's plot outline for the character's first appearance.
		Kirby thought such a powerful figure would have a herald and added a comparatively small figure surfing the air.

	GamersInfo.net - DS - Kirby: Canvas Curse
		With Kirby's first appearance on Nintendo's new handheld unit, it should come as no surprise that it makes liberal use of the touch screen.
		Kirby will roll along and obey the laws of gravity until he encounters a painted line, and will then proceed to follow this paint stroke in the direction that it was placed.
		While the action differs from what Kirby fans may be used to, it still features enough of our pink gooey hero to appeal to old and new fans alike.

	The "KIRBY CRACKLE" [Archive] - Penciljack Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The actual "Kirby dots" should take place around the actual projected rays of the blast (indeed it should frame your blast), so with that in mind, the next thing to do is to start adding in the largest "dots." Here, I've started from at the outer most corners of the panel.
		One thing to remember when doing the "Kirby crackle" is that you want the effect to look somewhat random and natural--certainly not mechanical--so throw in the occasional large "dot" cluster near the blast radius and have several dots overlapping here and there from time to time.
		I'm assuming in your example that you saying the kirby dots are essentially the same color as the background (fl) Thus it's really the white that is being rendered as the energy and that makes perfect sense.

		Kirby will roll automatically, it's up to you to control his movements by touching him and drawing rainbow paths for him to cross.
		Kirby is a stong, polished title but not nearly as innovative with its gameplay as it is with it's control.
		Kirby can be sent straight up and even loop backwards and made to turn around.

		In this game, the pink, round creature known as Kirby is relentlessly rolling forward from a side view.

		Kirby normally gets hurt if he touches an enemy, but you can stun an enemy first by touching it, and then Kirby will destroy the enemy instead of being hurt.

		Sky Masters comic strip by Kirby and Wally Wood.
		Kirby left National Comics after a contractual dispute in which editor Jack Schiff, who had been involved in getting Kirby and the Wood brothers the Sky Masters contract, claimed he was due royalties from Kirby's share of the strip's profits.
		Kirby would draw across all genres, from romance to Western (the feature "Black Rider") to espionage (Yellow Claw), but made his mark primarily with a series of monster, horror and science fiction stories for the company's many anthology series, such as Amazing Adventures, Strange Tales, Tales to Astonish and Tales of Suspense.

		You still venture around levels collecting stars, flipping switches, and killing badguys on your way to the level’s end, but even these menial tasks are a blast thanks to the control method.

		Obviously, including one of the best Kirby soundtracks ever is a bonus, but it is only included as a hard-to-unlock extra.

		This panel shows the pros and cons of "Kirby dots", little fl donut-holes of raw energy, which were frequently used by comics artist Jack Kirby.
		Pro: Kirby dots are a last-ditch, but highly effective method of dry cleaning.
		Con: For the dry cleaning to work, you have to eat a whole lot of Kirby dots, and then mentally project them out of your face.

		I couldn't pick just one single character as being Jack Kirby's single best visual design: there are so many of them that have become iconic and stood the test of time, as demonstrated by the fact that every subsequent artist to draw the character has followed Kirby's original design faithfully.
		The electron-gathering antenna on his forehead is primarily there to look cool -- though Lee and Kirby gave it some rationale so that we could see it crackle with Kirby dots -- and the ziggurat trim on his uniform is solely decorative.
		The Inhumans were Kirby's first use of an idea he'd return to with the New Gods and the Eternals: characters who were not crime fighters with secret identities, but who borrowed the trappings and design elements of superhero comics simply for their visual appeal as sheer ornamentation.

		Kirby's work is so dynamic -- every panel feels like it's going to jump off the page.
		Kirby also had a wicked sense of design that was so out of this world.
		Kirby also created his drawings using simple shapes and strong construction, which is easier for another artist to emulate than the more realistic artists.

		A Krackling energy field that all the diehard FF fans would know is there because of Kirbys art.
		Including the Kirby dots in the space scenes would work best.
