so I designed a 3D printed keytar

Did I have to draw this? Nope.
Did I still do it? Yup.
Am I extremely late for it? Yeah.

Was I so skeptical that I added an unnecessary background?
Pretty much...

Ahem, Rabbid K. Rool!

A flat colored full body drawing of King K. Rool from the Donkey Kong franchise, dressed in a tacky plaid-colored golf outfit as if he were in the next Mario Golf game

During today's Ask Mario stream, @realgeneralgrunt.bsky.social suggested the idea of K Rool being in Mario Golf, so I decided to draw it out. I figured it'd be funny to see him in a super tacky golfer's outfit, and I think it turned out pretty good

tfw you spend hundreds of hours and dollars working on something that you are hoping will impress 3 to 6 people for around ten seconds at best

but it was worth it

I'm so happy you recognized me! I'm glad you liked Puppet K. rool!! It was great to meet you!

I was finally able to meet one of the VA’s of DK Grant Kirkhope! And also surprisingly, I happen to bump into King K. Rool, aka TransfatylvaniaFilms/General Gruntin! It was an honor meeting both of them…🥹💗

I'm not really sure what to think of this, a bit of a mixed feeling. On the one hand, I adore how I made the egg look. On the other hand, I kind of hate the swamp in the background.

Behold! King K. Rool the Kremling Kommander and Snap Shot the Crocagator are preparing to watch a hilarious stream tonight!

The album artwork for the Kongversation's Season 14. In an homage to the Banadium Root, prismatic magenta-and-cyan bananas encircle a golden microphone in the Heart of Gold within the Planet Core. "DK Vine's The Kongversation" is written in the style of Donkey Kong Bananza's Ad Lib font used for in-game text and dialogue. Artwork by Dustin Jackson.

Deep in the heart of Donkey Kong Universe fandom, DK Vine's #Kongversation podcast has awoken! Yes, we're coming back to the surface for an all-new year of DK and Rare discussion. In the aftermath of Donkey Kong Bananza, our mouths will help your ears navigate this exciting new era for the series!

Where can I pre order this in the US?

Here's a remake of my take on King K. Rool in Mario Kart 64's general style! Here I used his Melee trophy's head, crown, and cape to create a more Rareware-era K. Rool on top of his Ultimate model.

Overall, not bad imo!

It’s times like this, seeing Warner Bros. and all its properties fall to a politically-motivated failson, that actually makes me relieved that Nintendo is as proudly traditional a company as it is. One of the few touchstones from my childhood never to get gobbled up by acquisitions and mergers.

Holding up the new Virtual Boy Switch headset.

It doesn’t smell the same. The original Virtual Boy’s foam visor had the aroma of burned tires slathered with intimate lube, whereas the new Switch peripheral smells faintly of… a bag of mothballs left in an old sawmill for a decade?

My nostrils are devastated.

Pepperridge Farms remembers when people were saying that MP4 could save the Wii U back in 2013 and instead got pissed when, "another damn Donkey Kong," got announced. 💀

When did you become a Donkey Kong fan?

Are you a 1981 girders-and-barrels baby? A 1994 Country kid? Did Donkey Kong 64, the GBA remakes, or the beat of the Bongo games lure you to the series? Were you part of the Returns and Tropical Freeze generation, or did you just come aboard with Bananza?
