Hey everyone!

This is a Donkey Kong Bonanza fan art piece that I’m preparing for print! Ever since I was little, I’ve always loved Nintendo games. My first console was the NES, and I played Donkey Kong Country a lot—definitely one of my all-time favorite games growing up.

A few years later, I was lucky enough to get a Nintendo 64, and that’s really when my love for video games took off. Smash Bros., Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye—all these games had a huge impact on my adolescence. This piece is a tribute to that era, so thanks to everyone who voted for it!

Right now, I’m just making the final adjustments to get it ready for print—it’s going to look great on my shelf!

For this bad boy, I followed a standard pipeline: concepting and rendering in Blender, and sculpting in ZBrush.
