#dixie kong
Hey folks!
Long time no Drawed. I maintain that Dixie Kong’s original design looks like she walked of the set of the goddamned Cosby Show, so I thought I’d try and modernize her a little. I’m not sure I was entirely successful…she’s like a female Diddy Kong here. I would keep the new shirt (because seriously, who ties their shirt in a knot like that anymore?) and play with hat ideas more. I did give her a sideways hat but…I’m not sure how I feel about that either!
Anyway, enjoy!

Donkey Kong 2 Redraw Challenge. Digital, 2020.
I finally beat one of my favorite games from my youth. It’s short?! Anyways, to celebrate I participated in the redraw challenge that someone was hosting on twitter. Here’s the original piece to compare.
I cheated on the background because this was a one day project that I really got into and now its late. I’ll update it if I get around to actually making the background ha ha. For now, enjoy their expressions.

You’d think beating K. Rool thrice before, committing genocide on his kind by making the island sink and it trying to do it over again that Diddy and Dixie would get better treatment?
Donkey Kong Land 2, 1996
Trivia: This game’s Grant Kirkhope’s debut. Granted It’s all David Wise’s music. But these chiptunes are great for what they are. Only two years apart before his magnum opus Banjo-Kazooie and three years until the more relevant: Donkey Kong 64.
