Mighty Kong (Now With More Mario Monsters)

[DMAC]

Three more WIP sketches of Diddy Kong, and Mallow and Belome from the SNES Mario RPG:

A rough size comp:

Diddy Kong makes no sense. He's related to Donkey Kong, but he's not a gorilla because he has a tail. The ape he most resembles is an ourangutan, but they don't have tails either. What kind of crap is Nintendo trying to pull?

Great work DMAC! Lovin' every pic!

That's funny. Exactly what I was thinking before I read your quote. No matter- VERY nice work.

Freakin' awesome!

Hmm, great artwork. But Diddy kong looks to much like a monkey..... I realise he is a monkey, which is why this is difficult. Hmmmmm.

Are you drawing from a monkey picture and making it look like Diddy kong, or is Diddy kong your first reference and your making him look monkey like......?

From what I remember Diddy Kong is a monkey in the video games. He's related in a wierd cartoon 'he's close' way.

Maybe they aren't even related...Diddy Kong could be adopted and not even know it!

Oh, and DMAC, happy birthday.

Love the Koopa Troopa.

And yes, Happy Birthday indeed! Enjoy the presents!

 

[DMAC]

Gracias.

My birthday party will have not one, but two clowns.
