Talk about games outside of the DKC series, but closely related.

Newly discovered Donkey Kong Racing concept artwork!

Wow! I cannot believe this. I cannot believe DK Vine actually located artwork and drawings of Donkey Kong Racing for the GameCube.

Check the DK Vine article out here (saved on archive.org, obviously): http://www.dkvine.com/?p=3993.

It's cool how we also see Cranky and Lanky, who both were not in the trailer, and actual karts. Was there going to be an option between karts and Animal Buddies?

Better grab those renders. You'll need them some day. ;)

Neat!

If Dixie and Chunky were in there, they'd have all of the playable characters from the DK series at that point in time. Plus Cranky and Taj.

But the Lanky Kong and Kiddy Kong models look awesome. I'd even go as far as to say that of the Donkey Kong Racing characters, those two appear to have the best models out of all of them!

Which is funny, considering how underused they are nowadays (Kiddy, moreso. :kiddysad: )

This is cool to see... although most of the characters look crazed/possessed. :?

Thanks for sharing, Gaz. Thanks/credit also to Shiggy over at NeoGAF for the original post from which this image was taken (it also features previously-unseen concept art from a bunch of other unreleased Rare games), and to the DK Vine community/staff for spreading the word. :)
