Interview out now with Jay Epperson, we talk about his concept art on DKC Returns & Tropical Freeze, his work on Mario Kart 7, Retro Studios, his thoughts on DK Bananza and more....

To be honest $20 isn’t enough to stop me, had this been Pokemon Emerald I’d probably budge
but I’m pretty exhausted revisiting Kanto, and this isn’t even going to be a good, fully-featured way to experience the game.
Two 6x6 canvases featuring 2D art of DK and Diddy
I’ve got two of those canvases hung up at work so it’s cool they’re getting reprinted; a Dixie one in pink or light blue would be nice!

I like to think that to contrast the modern, post-BFD Conker, Honker would be (or at least present himself as) a really straight-edge, clean-cut guy that’s averse to anything gross-out.
That would also be really ironic given that he’s a skunk.
So Switch Online Pikmin 2 is going to offer online multiplayer while the HD Switch-native port doesn’t?

One thing that’s not talked about too much with this DKCR HD update is that they changed how the reserve Barrels work
Before, they came out as actual thrown barrels (so you could cheese kills in certain spots, a la DKCR 3D). Now, the Kong just automatically spawns (a la TF).
Here it is after the update

Fantastic work, they all look great!

Why
WHY couldn’t they have made a line of Donkey Kong’s cast 😭
The solid green background makes it look like he’s being filmed for a movie

04.12.2025 22:47 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My EXACT concern! I did NOT want DK’s presence on this app just to be recycled images so I’m looking forward to seeing dedicated animations like what the other series themes got.

Tiny Kong drawn in the style of Parappa the Rapper.
Maybe I'll go back and finish some of these at a later point in the future, I think some of them were turning out pretty nicely.

A sketch of Tiny Kong sitting on a couch, using her ponytails to hold the TV remote and her drink.
A sketch of both Lanky and Tiny Kongs, drawn in reference to a scene from the SpongeBob episode "Band Geeks."
A sketch of Lanky and Chunky Kongs pointing at Tiny while inside of the Tag Barrel from DK64.
A sketch of Tiny Kong getting ready to confront Crash Bandicoot, in reference to the promo art where Crash's "Tiny Tiger" character does the same thing.
How'd I fumble #Squawktober so badly this year? Simple. It wasn't part of the plan!
I struggled so much on whether to do another Squawktober or to give October to a different character this year, and midway through working on the latter, Squawks was announced for #DonkeyKongBananza.
A drawing of Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong, and two Animal Buddies in Quawks and Squawks. The latter two are drawn to mimic the style of the Baby Yoshis that are featured in 2D Mario games.
The 6th (and abruptly final) illustration I did for #Squawktober.
Who knew that even the Baby Squawks could make level traversing more fun? #Squawks #DiddyKong #DixieKong
After Bananza I would love to see DK and the other Kongs taking on loads of enemies. I think “DK Warriors” would be a great future collab.

A drawing of Professor Chops from Donkey Kong Country Returns imitating the infamous Riddler "Does He Know?" meme taken from a screenshot of Robert Pattinson's "Batman" film. Set in Donkey Kong Bananza's "Forbidden Layer."
#Squawktober drawing 5/??
Screenshot redraws might be one of my favorite things to draw.
