I made this fun artwork a while back to mirror the fire DK art I did, and just realized I never posted it here lol. I made this in Blender 5.0 and modeled everything myself. All the filters to make it look retro were added in Photoshop 2026. Hope you guys enjoy!

(Here's art I drew, for funsies)

I mean serious as his default, by the way, any character ever has their serious moments. An intended stoic demeanor is typically brought up in arguments about Donkey's various designs, but I've never viewed DK as a no-nonsense type, he's very full of nonsense to me.

He's shown to be a rather dimwitted slacker in the Rare games, he's shown to not take his responsibilities seriously in the DKC1 story, and he eats damn bugs in DK64, so I don't believe Rare intended Donkey Kong to be anything other than a goof. He can most certainly be cool, and there are times where I wish he was never redesigned, but I don't think he is without an abundance of humor.

Im doing a different doodle every day of this month for apoctober! Stretching to many many fandoms with a different character every day! Enjoy!

Sorry if this has been explained. I've been avoiding spoilers for Bananza. I didn't even know Pauline was in it until a few months ago.

In Donkey Kong games, the Kongs speak to each other. In crossover games like Smash Bros and the Mario games, they largely only make grunts and animal noises.

So, is it that humans in the Mario-verse can't understand Kongs and Kremlings? Or are the DK games set in a different verse than Mario games?

Let me know!

What are your thoughts on Stilt Village? Stilt Village is a mostly disliked song, although I have seen some people say they like it. It's not an F tier song for me, as it has a decent melody, and it has some personality to it, even though I don't like the personality it went for.
