EDIT: And of course I accidentally forgot the rather simple background when submitting this, which says wonders about how stressed out I am right now.

I don't think that's what the Beach Boys meant when they said "we'll perfect our chemistry", Klungo.

I'm actually surprised I didn't make the potion glowing considering my love for glowy chemicals.
Although that might be because the liquid in that beaker is really a Blue Hawaii and Klungo's trying to be sneaky...

Doodle that I ended up liking too much to leave in my sketchbook. Klungo's really not doing anything exciting, but this is a character that rarely gets any fanart at all and real life was stressing me out big time these past couple of days (one of my pets is in the hospital right now) so I needed something to butcher in Photoshop to let off a little steam.

Plus this year WAS Banjo-Kazooie's 15th anniversary and I somehow didn't do any art for it. Whoops.

This was also a fun test to see what I do differently compared to the Klungo picture I did last year even though I intentionally colored it around the same way and kept a lot of the same ideas. I think Klungo's proportions changed a little bit in a good way. And I didn't botch up the size of his hands for once.

And, like I said in the previous Klungo, this version of Klungo is basically like 75% Banjo-Kazooie/Banjo-Tooie Klungo, with the other 20% being the Nuts and Bolts Klungo and the last 5% being the Grunty's Revenge Klungo (because screw it, I like the idea of Klungo having bicolor eyes).

Klungo is one of those characters that I've always liked and always had my own quirky headcanons involving him even though he never really did anything until Banjo Tooie. Ah, the period between 1998 and 2000 where I would find and devour every little piece of speculation involving all the minor characters of Banjo-Kazooie. What a magical time on the Internet. I think quite a few of the Rareware characters from the N64 days have like full extended backgrounds that have been gradually perfected in my head in a span of almost 15 years.

I like to think that Klungo used to be a brilliant scientist who basically has been slowly twisted and mutated into what he is today thanks to his rampant abuse with chemicals, with the only remnants of what he once was being his right eye (which is probably the only part of his body that hadn't mutated) and little scraggly hairs on his head and chin. He'd probably be a bit more bitter about it if the chemicals didn't give him the fluctuating intellect of a dying rodent, considering he probably built Clanker and Clanker's Cavern (because of the Mutie-Snippets in Clanker's Cavern that have the same mutations Klungo has), a machine that sucks out beauty and transfers it to another host, and all of Rusty Bucket Bay (but not Grunty Industries; I feel Klungo's work has a certain aesthetic to it that that zone does not have) and yet can't figure out how to move a boulder and has a pretty rudimentary way of speaking and problem solving. But he tries, darn it all, and he will make sure his Missstresss is pleased with his work.

...yeah, I think my next Klungo picture will involve the filthy bear and bird. Or King Jingaling, since I kind of saw those two as being friends after the events of Banjo-Tooie.
