Description This is my entry for the group contest, "Side-Kicks!"

Earlier this year I downloaded Donkey Kong Country 2 for the Virtual Console and after a week or two I reached the "Screech's Sprint" level. I was never good at controlling Squawks. So I ended up crashing into thorns and bees several, SEVERAL times. I gave up for a while and went back to it and eventually made it to the end.

This picture portrays how Squawks would probably look if he had accumulated all the damage that was cause by my consistent failure of the course. But he toughed it out.

Squawks is one of my favorite animal buddies from the game, and and cool side kick. Done in Photoshop CS4. May 28, 2010.

ugh I remember that level...all the "stickerbrush" levels were rather difficult- but racing the evil parrot really took the cake. PERSISTENCE FTW!

Squawks really looks like he's crying out in agony there- and I love the various little thorns all over his body The bandage is a really cute addition too! I love this pic a lot- good work!

Brambles and parrots are definitely a recipe for pain. Rareware made sure of that!

You did a lovely job on this. And you capture the poor bird's frustration perfectly.

Thanks Matt! Although I don't think the lighting works quite right with the zany style of Squawks. But the base colors alone made it look too flat, so I tried to make it look slightly more three dimensional. But there's something still weird looking about it to me...
