This started as a side sketch but then I decided to use it to try out a new style! I went for a mix between that chalky-storybook style and realistic shading.

I wanted to see what Banjo-Kazooie would look like if they had continued their games, but tightened up their appearance. I moved away from their more exaggerated proportions and went for something I saw as more balanced (IE, Banjo has a more brawler/heroic build, Kazooie's snarky personality is displayed more in her design). What was funny is that Gregg Mayles, the creator of Banjo-Kazooie commented that my design for Banjo was a little too human-like (probably the build of the legs and feet had something to do with it), and Kazooie was too big (which was honestly cause I was too lazy to scale down Kazooie in post lol).

That's concept art for you though, you gotta bring it up to the big guy and make the revisions after! You guys may see a revised design in a Banjo-Kazooie tribute poster I may make some time for in the future though...
