The bear and bird flying! Showcasing a stylized art direction for Banjo & Kazooie!
Kazooie outside of the backpack
Banjo's fur in a more realism + stylized art direction. This time the tan parts of the design act as a fur discoloration- similar to some bears.
An older exploration painting that looks into new design shapes for the duo.
An older exploration of different expressions for Banjo. Also helped with seeing how Banjo's brows would work with fur that leaned toward realism.
Here is a (fanart) redesign and some explorations I did of Banjo & Kazooie from the Rare Ltd. franchise: Banjo-Kazooie. I looked at their original models from the Nintendo 64, the different official renders of the duo, and studied their personalities from the game. I put together these fan art works that I made of what Banjo and Kazooie could look like if they were "remastered" for modern-day gaming. My friend George Crudo and I are huge fans of the game; I am very thankful and honored that he was interested in doing a 3D sculpt from my concepts. Thank for for viewing! Please check out George Crudo's sculpt when you get the chance!
