Description
I haven't drawn anything in a while, and I just bought a new sketchbook... So I drew up a 1920's inspired scene from the arcade classic Donkey Kong! I gave the two of them a bit of a redesign, with spaghetti limbs and such. The original Donkey Kong was inspired by Popeye the sailor, so I thought the style would be a perfect fit.Related content

thought it was worth showing, even if it's nowhere near as good as this sketch. xD

Looks good. I'd say you captured the look quite well. Particuarly with the stretch and squash-ish buildings and the "Pacman" eyes.

I could actually notice quite a bit of Bluto in DK before I saw it in your description.
And interesting take, I haven't seen very many 1920 style things. Unique and very well done!

Mario Looks a bit more "Mickey Mouse"-like, then Popeye-like, (or at least in the eyes) but nice job. 
Also, I like how you kept DK's old plus sign ++++ style teeth. I always liked those.

Haha! Yes! I love those teeth too! If there's one toothy grin I prefer on DK that would be it.

this is a cool picture! But in Color would it be more better!

You mean grayscale? This is based in the 1920's after all.
But yeah, I should be coloring most of my drawings, or at least clean them up and pen them.

A gorilla chucking barrels around a construction site? Not again!

Back in those days they used to draw gorilla noses as pure black dog-like noses I noticed.

Hmm, yeah, I didn't really know that when I drew this. I don't think eye's were ever drawn that way either. Oh well, I like the way he turned out. He's very much Rare's DK, but with a bit of an old timey flair going on.
Mario definitely has more of the 1920's in him.

Here's a good example of an old timey primate.

Hmm, the eyes aren't as off as I thought they'd be actually.

Yeah his design seemed based a lot like that already!

Wow, you definitely captured the 1920s look here, right down to those classic eyes.
