Let me just say this: I love all your drawings, but I like your Conker ones the best, and when I saw this I was thinking “No way…” It’s just so epic! I’d love to make one, but I don’t know the first thing about customizing. And for the record, despite being a Conker fan, I have never played any of the games (don’t have the systems they’re on, and the games themselves are pretty expensive, especially Conker’s Bad Fur Day). Anyway, keep up the good work!
That Dragon/Donkey Kong cross over is amazing!!!
And I really love your Jewel drawing!
OMG. Conker for the n64 is one of my favorite games. Wow you really brought him to life.
I would love to see LEGO City Police Station remade into a Wii videogame.
Thanks, guys!
Heh, I love Conker a lot… I have more art of him in this here DA gallery of mine. However, it’s being overloaded with DKC lately, so its requiring some searching.
I still love that so much. <3 Wow, a couple other Conker fans on here! Score! I don’t own any of the games at the moment either, but that’s awesome. The series barely gets any recognition.
Haha, awesome. Yeah, there’s very few people who have even heard of Conker. It’s quite a shame we’ll probably never see him again. :c
In the meantime, here is my rendition of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
My gosh, it’s awesome! Are you basing it off the recent discovery about the appearance of T-Rexes (that they might be white and feathery instead of scaled)? It looks fantastic!
Well, I actually found out about that after I drew my image! Impossible, right?
Drew this a while ago while listening to the Viva Piñata soundtrack. The music really makes me wonder about what’s behind the nearest mountain glades…
Yeah, I’ve been drawing traditional now Banjo-Kazooie will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the best games ever created.
I was listening to a Hype! remix of Stickerbush Symphony, one of the most well-known tracks in Donkey Kong Country history, when I drew this. Oh, and custom-made lens flare for the win!
Oh wow! I really, really like your landscape drawings! The pencil lines are great, and there’s a special charm to them. I wish I could draw landscapes as good as you!
Great landscape paintings, Badger! I tried playing Viva Pinata when I got my xBox 360 (it was one of the first games I bought for it), but sadly, I didn’t get past the beginning levels. The TV show is very charming though, have you seen it? Theme song is catchy.
And I love your Banjo-Kazooie pic! I played ‘Nuts and Bolts’ at a store demo the year before last and it was pretty cute and funny. Are they, like, BFFs or a couple?
Great work, Badger! I love the Banjo-Kazooie one!
I love the Donkey Kong colorful one. It looks like a painting! It’s beautiful, and the colors are gorgeous. I still love that little Conker figure, it’s actually adorable <3
Thanks for all the sweet comments, people! TDIT: Banjo and Kazooie are just best friends. Some fans make it a bit more, but a bear and a bird? A bit weird, don’t you think?
Alas, here is a silhouette shot of all my current characters! All of them!
Flying:
Riley the pigeon
Reaver the Harpy Eagle
Bottom, left to right;
Palladio the… thingy
Ori the Avien
Captain Fluffclaw the pirate skunk
Rowdy the unfunny hyena
Yuki the albino striped hyena
Blueplume the tries-so-hard-to-be-cool dodo
Flurl the semi-realistic raptor
Clyde the other, cartoony raptor
Pangea the fat T. rex
Irked the derpy winged deer
Gryphon the Gryphon
a currently unnamed snake which I plan to write a story about
Melesm the shapeshifting badgerdeer
Oh dear, that’s quite a lot, not is it? For most of them it’s the first time I have ever shown the internet. I did not even include side characters!
Wow, so you’re an amazing digital artist AND traditional artist! The color value on those drawings is amazing!!
This silhouette lineup is really interesting, as well. It shows the diversity in the cast and the originality of the designs! <3
Thankyou! I try to make my cast as diverse as possible.

Oh dear.
Klump, in DK64, occasionally ate grenades. He doesn’t get harmed by it, though. So I drew him in his TV show design. Be careful with that! D8
Alas, going back to my DKCTV fandom. Bad guys mostly, of course. I’m such a nerd, I registered at a Japanese video site just to watch episodes in Japanese… with the help of a tutorial of course.
Oh, and ever wonder what Conker would look like would he be created by Disney?
Yeah, now you wish you didn’t ask, right? I made him look a bit creepy…
Haha, I’ve been playing DK64 off-and-on lately and was wondering how on earth they manage to just casually toss the grenades into their mouths! I want to see a painful aftermath…
By Japanese video site, do you mean NicoNico Douga? I’ve been curious to get an account just to watch random English things I like on there, because the comment reactions, even if I can only slightly understand them, are so amusing.
I love the Disney-fied Conker! Disney’s such a distinct style, it’s so much fun seeing other characters in it. When I came back from the new Winnie the Pooh I had a strong urge to draw Conker and Rodent in that style, it hasn’t happened yet sadly. I especially dig the clean linework on these!
Pfff, knowing Klump he’d just get a mild case of heartburn. xD Yeah, I said ‘mild’. Would be better than, oh, I don’t know… 'sploding all over the place?
Yeah, NicoNico Douga it was. I saw one ep of DKC in Japanese but I was severely disappointed… Krusha sounds ridiculous! D: But it’s a pretty cool site, a lot of odd-yet-awesome things to be found there. I’m Koektrommel over there. (which is Dutch for… cookie jar.)
Yeah, I’m sure I’ll revise the Disney Conker though, I’m still not very happy with how he came out. But thanks!

I discovered I’m a total failure at drawing humans and/or anything humanlike. So, I started myself a project - I’m trying to draw some of my favourite non-human characters as humans, carrying over their most distinctive traits to make them recognizable.
Here’s King K. Rool.
He probably looks creepy. But there’s only so much I can do without making him look too different! Don’t worry, he’s only after bananas and crystal coconuts.
Oh, and any of you have requests for non-human characters you’d like to see humanized? I must know them, of course, but I know a lot of them. It will certainly help me improve my human-drawing skills!
Presuming I scared everyone off with my human K. Rool… Guess what this pic’s a semi-reference to?
Hint: The title of this image is ‘Forbidden Friendship’.
Believe it or not, this is one hundred percent digital Photoshop work.
Whoa, I love looks of that human K. Rool! He looks like a greedy bully, but a greedy bully with genuine power.
Oh, and any of you have requests for non-human characters you’d like to see humanized? I must know them, of course, but I know a lot of them. It will certainly help me improve my human-drawing skills!
Have you done Kazooie before? Birds are always good subjects for human interpretation! If you have, then I’d say Dug from Up could be cute!
And I loooove this drawing. That slightly “sprinkled” texture on the image, I like it a lot! It brings a traditional vibe to the picture. And it’s a really sweet concept, too. <3
Haha, thanks! Well, I have tried humanizing Kazooie before. I may just as easy try it again though because I had loads of fun!
…
Curses! DA glitches resulting in that I can’t upload nothing.
Curse you DAaaaaaa
anyhow here’s some fan arts
KING K ROOLS FINEST HOUR BEST SONG IN THE SHOW ADFS capslock
