Description
(Sorry, the full image is kind of large. xD)Banjo: What on earth is that?!
Kazooie: I think it looks like an enormous toilet cleaner.
Weldar!
I've wanted to draw this little fellow for ages, and only got around to it now. ^^
Though I HATED Grunty Industries with a burning passion, its resident visually-impaired welding torch certainly has his charms. xP
I mean, just LOOK at him. Aww... He's so cute, in a giant tank of hot gas kind of way...
And he goes along nicely with my theme of "Banjo-Kazooie characters that need to be drawn a lot more because they're so AWESOME. D:"
Oh, and speaking of themes... I was trying to pair this with a theme for my 100-theme challenge but I couldn't think of any that fit... D: Any ideas?

Is it weird that I actually love Grunty Industries? I'm just a sucker for industrial-themed anything. X3
Also, "little fellow" may be a bit of an inaccurate description of Weldar, but that's just me. XD

I hated the fact that you had too kill him. He didn't seem evil, he was only doing his job.

Normally, Weldar is pretty fierce and vicious, but he looks so cue and playful in this picture!

Weldar rox!

Weldar is a fun boss and you drew him... well different, I like it
Grunty Industries is one of my favorite stages in Tooie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Welder was my most favorite boss in the game! I played his boss battle several times! the music kicks butt also!
grunty's industries was a good level, in fact it was one of my favorites! what sucks is how the level feels so depressing and I can admit it was an irritating stage.

Why isn't the badass welding torch in the Banjo-Kazooie folder? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
o___O He isn't?!
Oh, right. I kind of went back and forth putting the BK stuff into that folder, so I might have missed something.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED WELDAR, THOUGH. GOSH. WHO DO I THINK I AM? *beats self* D:<
Also, angry-shoe-shopping Weldar is freaking awesome.

OH MY GOSH!! Weldar?! Wow, I haven't seen you in so long!! O: Insanity!
I'm glad you like this! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YESH.
Anyway, yes, it's me, hooray.
He's cute, lol. He's made of win and awesome and power and love (and holy crap, I sound like I'm madly in love with him.)
I can draw you a dragonized Weldar if you'd like. I'm all right at mechanicalness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yeah! Who isn't madly in love with Weldar? XD He's just that amazing!
I'd love to see a dragonized Weldar.

Sure thing. I'm not working on anything, so I'm bored. Any inspiration is greatly accepted. (Oh, crap, I even TALK like Weldar!!)
I'll get to work as soon as I can peel myself off of the computer.

YAY! WELDAR!
One of my favorite bosses from the game... up there with Terry and the dragon brothers... and you made him look so cute and non-menacing XD But see, the thing about Weldar is that I always imagined him to be a non-menacing type of guy anyway, he's just got a job to do, and it's his duty to destroy any bears/birds that get in his way...
I have an idea that he should come back in the new BK game, but he's totally rebuilt, with only his head being the same, as that was all that survived after all XD I think he should look like a dragon, with awesome wings and legs and everything, so he doesn't have to drag himself around, poor guy. I should try to sketch out my idea sometime, but I'm no good with mechanical stuff...
He had the most awesome boss music, it's true. Y'know, the funny thing about Grunty Industries is I hate playing through it, but I do think it's a very clever level... it really makes you think... it's like a big puzzle, where you have to unlock one part to get to another... so I respect it, but that doesn't mean I enjoy it XD Plus, trading the colorful and imaginative landscapes of say, JRL or HFP for the industrialized ickiness of GI, well, it's just a bit depressing, y'know.
As for what theme you could fit this with, I suggest "Trouble Lurking" or "Are You Challenging Me?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, that's a great idea. ^^ I can imagine a dragon-Weldar perfectly. I'd try to draw it, too, but I'm also terrible at drawing mechanical stuff. x_x It's really hard to design a robot if you don't know what pieces go where. XD
I found GI more frustrating than clever, personally. Because I kept getting scared out of my pants every time I walked into a room (security cameraaaas ._.), it was insanely frustrating to have to keep doubling back and opening new paths. That's why I tend to pretty much skip the entire level when I play BT. xD It scares the jibblies outta me.
And yes, it's also very depressing compared to the other levels. xD Kind of like Rusty Bucket Bay... I never liked that level, either. ._.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, RBB was the most annoying level in BK because of the dang engine room. Trying to get all the notes in there and make it out alive was a major pain in the butt. It was even more frustrating than having to scale the CCW tree, which is saying something!
Grunty Industries never really scared me, but maybe that's because I concentrated all my factory-based fears on Frantic Factory in DK64 when I was younger XD Now THAT place is frickin' creepy. GI is really no big deal compared to that place, with its freaky possessed Krembots and eerie music...

^^ Awww, there he is! I missed him. I really should play those again, you know? maybe after I beat Super Paper Mario! Haha!
Howabout' "Seeing Red?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
o: You've got SPM too?
I'm starting to think I'm the only one who doesn't have it! XD
Hmm, I was thinking of Seeing Red, but it's kind of vague... All of my themes are really vague so far, though. I suppose the point is to think about the theme, and then draw the picture, not just try to relate the picture to a theme after it's done.
All well. XD

Ah well is right.
When I rented the game, the lady checking me out was like, "What, you haven't bought it yet?!"
"Um...no?"
As I was leaving, I thought I'd just ask...
"Um, why did you ask me if I'd bought it?"
"Well, you've been in here every week renting it!"
"What! This is the first time I've gotten it!"
"Oh. Nevermind."
I laughed. It was funny. Apparently, everyone else wants this game, too. Don't feel bad if you haven't played it yet. (do you have a Wii?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha. xDD That's hilarious.
And no, I don't have a Wii yet. D: *is terribly depressed about it all*

xD Haven't played Wario Ware. Not a big fan of Wario.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't really like Wario, either, but Wario Ware is freaking addictive. XD It's endless fun.
And Sweet Moves makes you look ridiculously stupid, because you have to dance and swing the Wiimote around and stuff. x3 So I really want it. XD

Heh. I shuppose so.
Mwar, I'll stick with Mario, thankyou very much.

Weldar was awesome! *was meaning to draw him too, but never got his body right* I remember, back in the days when Banjo-Tooie wasn't released yet, everyone thought he was a vaccuum because the only available screenshot of him had him dragging himself across the floor. XD Just like everyone called Mr. Patch "Patches" and thought that Klungo had a hammer. Ah, good times, good times...
He had the best boss battle music, and I agree with everyone, Grunty Industries does suck. Just to get to Weldar, you had to get Mumbo, perform a Mumbo spell, run to Mumbo's hut, get Banjo, go to Humba's Wigwam, transform, and step on the switch. And then you had to go fight Weldar. And then, he turns off the fan for the jiggy. JUST ONE JIGGY TOOK THAT MUCH WORK. D: Grunty Industries is the one bad level in a group of good levels.
You drew Weldar really well, though. He actually looks pretty happy, as opposed to all snarly like he is in the boss battle. I like the background too. ^^

Grunty Industries was bad?! THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE LEVEL.
XD Sorry... this is Cubie's messages... I'll be quiet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, I like a difference in opinions. XD
I just could not get the hang of that level at all. All the different floors and the batteries and the Skivvies and the unscrewing of the bolts and augh. Also that security would always scare me, and you couldn't turn it off for very long. And, of course, it had a first-person shooter minigame. I hate FPS's. *shakes a fist at Glitter Glutch Mine for having that TNT disarming level*
I myself have a tie between Cloud Cuckooland, Witchyworld, Hailfire Peaks, and Jolly Roger's Lagoon for my favorite levels. Quite a few people hate those levels for several reasons.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The more complex and insane the level, the more I like it. A cross between Grunty Industries, Rusty Bucket Bay and Gobi's Valley would be nice. 
I liked Witchyworld and Mayahem Temple too, but Grunty Industries was definitely my favourite.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Weirdly enough, Rusty Bucket Bay was my favorite level in Banjo-Kazooie and my least favorite level was Mumbo's Mountain for the opposite reasons. I hated Mumbo's Mountain because it was TOO easy, and you were completely done with it in one whole sitting.
I didn't really like the security because it was so loud, what with the siren and the sound of the floating tin-can robots. But I'm glad we can agree that the Clinker's Cavern SUCKED. I had to use the honeyback cheat to find the clinkers because I was too lazy to do it otherwise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then Rusty Bucket Bay took me about THREE DAYS. XD
Sirens and robots. Usually, those are pretty loud when put together.
I have NO sense of direction whatsoever, and I made my brother sit with the guide and tell me where to go.

Haha. xD Sadly, I wasn't around for the pre-release of Banjo-Tooie. I was still young... I think I only got BT in 2001, and even then, it was only after I finished the game and went looking for information on B3 that I found the Banjo-Tooie forum that was my internet home for three years.
So, unfortunately I couldn't partake in the gossiping before it came out. XD
But geez, seriously... All that work for ONE Jiggy? xD You get THREE Jiggies for beating Targitzan (who was probably the hardest boss for me, because I'm terrified of first-person shooters x_x) and you don't even get one Jiggy when you beat Weldar? Pssh.
All well, he's still awesome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
XD First person shooters scare the heck out of me, too. I tried to play the metroid prime games, but the gameplay mostly consisted of me freaking out and screaming at the vidoe game monsters not to hurt me and then spraying the room with shots...and then running away.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
He and Targitzan should switch places, then. Course, then Grunty Industries will be even more of a hellhole than normal...

When I first saw the preview image, I thought you drew a metallic Histup.
Really nice drawing, by the way. He was a fun boss indeed. I, too, hated Grunty's Industries with a raging passion, but I couldn't resist the catchy music, as well as pretty much any Rare tunes out there.
My only criticism: Needs more Histup.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All right, all right. XD Maybe I'll draw Histup. (And then I can draw Toots, too!)
xD We should make our own "I hate Grunty Industries" club. :3 I CALL VICE PRESIDENT!

Oh my gosh! I love that dude XD Ah, such good memories....I loved him because he vaguely resembled a dragon =3 But, I always got killed when I tried to fight him because I'm a video-gameing wuss who freaks out at boss battles and hands the controls to her brother XD
Looovveeee this pic X3 You've captured his essence, that's for sure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm a video game wuss, too.
Heh, he does sort of look like a dragon. ^^ He certainly is serpentine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
yayz, I remember this guy. twas hell to beat him D: anyway nice job on the drawing, I really like the choice of background.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD Yeah, it was a long battle. It took me ages to even find him, though, because I'm terrified of Grunty Industries.
