What a sweet boy!

I know I wanted to keep Rairverse stuff off this blog but I really like how this turned out so have this!!

Probably old news by now, but did you know that there’s an unused eye texture for Conker? You can still see it if you hack.
It’s only mapped to two expressions, but we forgot to get the other expression. His ears are slightly lowered, that’s how you know he’s mad! I wonder what this was going to be used for, but it makes for a nice October post!

New friend spotted
For those who can’t tell, that’s a bat! One of the brown ones who attack you in the barn and bats tower. It looks like at one point, Conker was supposed to become allies with one. I can’t confirm for sure, because the ending cutscene might not exist yet in this build. For all I know, this one could just be there for decoration. But his dialogue is the same in the opening cutscene, where he implies he knows everyone around his throne, I would think that includes the bat.
Conker’s new reference!
Design changes are very minor but include: Changing his body color to a redder shade, adding the freckles from his kid design (as well as making them a little darker), making all white on his outfit have a blue tint and making his proportions smaller. Fangs are now visible in the reference.
I’ve been drawing his kid design more often than his adult design for a project that’ll hopefully be done before the year is over, and I grew very attached to the freckles! As for making him shorter, he’s 3 feet tall, I wanted him to look it.

Talking about the beta, usually in It’s War, Conker is in what I call “serious mode” where he won’t do any idle animations except one when his guns are out. Apparently this hadn’t been implemented yet, because I caught him doing some while standing next to Rodent.
I theorized that maybe it’s because Conker didn’t have his cigar, so I loaded an area where he had it but he still did idle animations.
I wonder why they took these out? Maybe they really did think it was too serious of a section for him to do fun little idle animations.
Bonus: Rodent really wants some chocolate milk.
Been getting into the beta of Conker’s Bad Fur Day (sadly not Twelve Tales, we all know that hasn’t been released yet. I’m hopeful one day, though!) and since I know the game well enough, I can spot differences.
One difference I wanted to bring up was this, since I found it interesting enough to talk about.
Before getting into Rock Solid, Conker has to learn the password from one of the cavemen. He mishears him, and says a wildly wrong word. In the beta, the word actually gets censored along with a beep and Conker covers his mouth and looks guilty. Conker doesn’t like swearing, after all!
In the final, they uncensored it. He still looks concerned though.
The beta scene was restored in Live and Reloaded, funny enough. I remember they promised to restore changed scenes, so I wonder if this was actually a higher up decision from Nintendo. Maybe a higher up didn’t understand the joke and wanted it uncensored?
The orthros from Twelve Tales my beloved
You beautiful two headed Doberman you

“You have until the count of three before I peck both your shins, nut breath.”
So I bought the Banjo and Kazooie plush, very adorable, but uh. I was surprised how small they are! Especially compared to the Conker plush! Kazooie is so small I’m scared I’m going to lose her, so she might stay full time in Banjo’s backpack.
I thought this was so funny that I decided to draw them real quick interacting at this size. Conker would be delighted to be tallest and get payback at all the times Kazooie was mean to him. In mine and @polarpace ‘s AU, Kazooie is actually the tallest!

Conker’s dad, Candle.
He’s a red squirrel who’s a librarian. He loves reading and wants to write his own books and keep them at the library.
He can’t see very well without his glasses, but under the glasses he has little eyelashes. He’s also 3 feet tall just like his son.
He loves his wife and son so much it makes him emotional sometimes.

Ever wondered what happens when Conker’s eye texture is missing?

Happy Halloween!

Love these funky rare dudes
Banjo meets The Count (aka conker’s great grandpa)
so the last couple of days as I was taking a break from comms and work, I had a mighty need for attempting to design pins for specific ita inspired bags.
The first three are super princess peach inspired pins! That game is one of my most top favorite mario games ever, and I’ve been dying to want pins inspired by the game so here they are!
The second batch is underswap themed pins with the character: napstaton! I have never seen merch of this character and they’re honestly my favorite so I drew up some pins for myself and my fellow napstaton enjoyers
And lastly are my rareware: conker & banjo-kazooie pins! These were my favorite to design! I love these two games and gosh darn it I gotta whip up stuff that appeals to me XD
I want to do pins in the future after moving from my plush projects, would anyone be interested? Let me know!
trying out FireAlpaca! It’s a really nice program indeed!
couldn’t resist the occasion to doodle a lil’ cowboy Conker!
