Wow, MatiZ... that's phenomenal!

Easily one of the best pieces of DKC3 art I've ever seen.



Any plans to create more such masterpieces — for Retro's DKC games, Donkey Kong Land, etc?

The thumbs up from Cranky is very appropriate, MatiZ. Nice work indeed.

Thanks. Earlier this year, I created a similar pictures of DKC and DKC2 but I forgot about this one. I was able to finally focus attention from rare: https://twitter.com/RareLtd/status/5434 ... 52?lang=en
Yes, probably the next one will be Donkey Kong Land or Donkey Kong 64.

Ooh, I saw that DKC3 piece on DA just yet! I faved it, it's beautiful. And cool that Rare tweeted it! They tweeted a Viva Piñata pic by me once as well, hehe.

I haven't drawn any DK-related things in a while, but after I decided to replay DK64 I wanted to try my hand at drawing Chunky. Then it became the DK Crew... then it became all Kongs in the history of ever. Here's a little sneek-peek on whom I've drawn so far;



I rather like Lanky there.

Wow, Riddedebie! Your drawing is great as well! You should color it (or not) and also tweet to #FanArtFriday and @Rare Ltd. I'll give you a chance because I don't have anything prepared to show. I have a 1/8 sketch of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze's first world and in future other levels.

It IS very good, but Chunky's legs should be MUCH small relative to the rest of him.

Looks beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks, guys! I'm not sure if I'll tweet it to Rare, though, I'd rather wait til I draw a better picture.

I know, I shortened them not soon after I saved this particular rendition.

Old version:

I can see the downgrade and my limits of drawing because I can't make it better. The colors are strange. Well, will be better next time! Time to learn some styles of drawing.

MatiZ, that's GORGEOUS!



I think all of the changes you made between the old and new versions were good — apart from perhaps the clouds, which I think I like more in the original piece.

Bravo, yet again; your artworks continue to impress me.

I love it! I really liked the concept of the Lost Mangroves. I just wish it had a more mysterious atmosphere in the game.

Thanks. Here comes Shipwreck Shore

Wow, MatiZ... another triumph!

The colours here are a little muted — kind of like your previous "old version" — but the artwork in general is simply beautiful. You've done a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the world and characters once again.

Thanks. That's true. I started to color the image, starting with the donkey's skin. Skin came out yellow-white and there was a chain reaction with other elements of the image.
Next one probably will be "Canopy Chaos" with Cranky.

Based off an M Rated Fanfic i came upon one day. I'm proud of how this turned out.

You've done a fine job here, Kimi Kong. I believe that I've read part of the story you're talking about, but don't think I ever finished it. Regardless, thank you for creating and posting this picture.

sonosublime, you have made true art. Thank you, and well done.

MatiZ, well done as well. K. Rool still has a chance!

Drew this for DKC2's 20th anniversary yesterday! Hope you all like it

This is absolutely joyous! Thanks for sharing, Versy, and welcome to DKC Atlas!

Thanks Qyzbud! Here's another piece I did, it was actually one of the official ADGQ 2015 shirts but I decided to make a new colorful version

I like them so much!
I wish I had a job to buy it

So do I! I'm thrilled that the gorgeous (and hilarious thanks to Winky) animal buddy one is available on T-shirts and such — I couldn't not tweet about it!

I'm certainly going to get at least one of these once I work out what size(s), style(s) and colour(s) to go for...

Amazing art, as always!

Oh thanks for the tweet by the way! I'll be sure to post more DKC art in the future!

I dunno if this is the right place but art is art right eh? I created "a loyal to the original" Hot Head Bop -theme with real instruments because DCK music is awesome. Check it out if you like the song. One of my favourites.

I can be proud of it. Eariler I made "Twister Trunk", but I really didn't liked it. Now I drew conclusions from previous mistakes (mostly bad sizes contours) and corrected in this picture. There's no much black like it should be, but I like it

Zip Line Shrine level. Usually, I don't draw night scenery, because I didn't have opportunity. Surely I will draw the fight with Pompy boss and then think about more levels.

Your latest masterpiece really takes me back, Sir MatiZ. Thank you for bringing more happiness into the world. If you need me to give you more kind words, please ask.

I liked your Busted Bayou piece, but I love this one! The colour choices and environment design are right on point, and it's great to see Dixie in action.

Idk if this has been done before, but I made a dink in Adobe Illustrator. I wasn't sure how to go about adding fur detail tho

I tried few times to make fake renders, but your way in doing it in vector is much better.

Chibisai Kong, Twin Cats and I created an Undertale AU where everyone in the original Undertale is switched out with Kongs(and some Kremlings).

I'm also doing streams for my art. Qyz has been by one and i would like for you guys to come enjoy the experience as well. It would be nice to hear from all of you again. I'll post the link down below. Please keep an eye out for streams. I usually do them in the evening/late night hours EST.

EDIT: The stream has ended. I present to you, the Fallen Monkey, Diddy.



Yeah, we decided on DIddy to be our Frisk.

Also to anyone who hasn't played Undertale, i recommend it. Its a really good game.

Great job on these, Kimi! One day I'll play Undertale and will understand the true depth of your art.

I made this comic based off an old Ron and Flippy comic I rem seeing on TTC forums
I feel so bad for lanky and kiddy since they didn't make an appearance in this. RIP

Here's another one I made featuring kiddy Kong. He's obviously giving Joseph a nice, warm loving, bone crunching hug.

It's been a long time.







I'll post an update when I'm totally finished. I'm not done working on him, yet.

It's very atypical for me to make fan art, but I decided to go ahead with this because I'm trying to learn more about polymer clay. I thought it was a good starting point (though I've had it for years, I never did much with it).

Pretty good, Phyre. Keep up the great work!!!

I'm a little surprised that you posted.

Atlas has seemed a little dead lately, except for occasional chat messages (and my update posts for DELTA).

Qyzbud hasn't even logged in since last year, so...

That's so awesome Phyreburnz!

Nice job, Phyreburnz. Making an actual 3D DK out of clay is no small feat, even for someone as talented as you. Thanks for sharing.

That is incredible! I haven’t seen artwork that good in a while! Arguably, that is my favorite thing on this topic. Spectacular job, Phyreburnz

*gently slides this here* one of my friends said something once about DKJr having a biker phase and I had to draw it

(I have................... changed/improved significantly since the days I regularly posted here.)

I think you have improved! I can’t say if you’ve changed or not though because I don’t know enough of your previous artwork. Of course, it’s news to me that DK jr. did that at some point in his life, but you learn something new every day!

Edit: Oh, and happy birthday!

It's definitely very clean and colorful. Well done.

Thank you both!!

WesternTanager794, you *might* be able to find some of my old stuff in previous replies to this thread, tho the image links might be broken. The prompt also came from an idea my friend gave me, that we know of he never really had an actual biker phase (tho he did have a biker friend named Bones in Saturday Supercade).

Super Luigi, the coloring is my favorite part. It's so relaxing. OwO

Thanks, Chibisai Kong!

I have something I’m currently creating, I have an interesting idea that probably will turn into a game title screen for my fangame! But it’s not my top priority right now! I’ll post it here when I’m finished!

I found some new graphics from the very old rare website! I’ve never seen these before! They aren’t on the atlas, the internet archive doesn’t have higher resolution version of these.


More are coming!
