An anon had a thread earlier using her in the thumbnail and it only just now hit me like a brick wall how fucked her last attempt at a redesign(around the Wii era) was completely fucking botched and how it looks really fucking uncanny compared to literally all of the other fucking kongs cause I never saw her as weird and uncanny looking until now.
Like does anyone else find it fucking weird how her muzzle(the part thats all skin. Takes up about 75% of her fucking face? From a design perspective if they want a kong to be young and/or cute, kongs like Diddy, Dixie, and Tiny(now along with Poppy) have the muzzle to head ratio like 50/50, akin to like the Sonic characters(although there muzzles are slightly smaller), but for Candy she has a really fucking large muzzle similair to the big male Kongs, and unlike her OG design where it matches something like Diddy Kong where it protrudes outwards but goes back in indicating the chin area, hers is completely spherical, and with the weird heart shape she looks like she took the bog-pill
>but anon you raging faggot, she had it round in DK 64 too
Yes but it doesnt reach true ugly without the big second flaw, her fucking snout. For all Kongs INCLUDING the recent updates to shit like Diddy and Dixie in Banaza, they ahve their snouts laying more flat, more animal like with the snouts potruding from the side, and the bases for the nose lay more flat on the face unlike a humans where they protrude outwards, but not ONLY does Candy have her snout sitting right ontop of her muzzle, it looks like the base of a regular humans nose(my immediate comparison is that it looks like Porky's nose from Earthbound) So while DK 64 also had the odd muzzle, her snout is more akin to the rest of the kongs, so she still is okay relatively.
Like I wonder how I never noticed all this time, was I just always staring at her tits? Does anyone have any design solutions to this?

I just hate the clothes and the weird Dolly Parton hair. I don't know how to fix this, just copy and paste her head only Poppy Kong and call it a day.

>>716270731 (OP)
Never liked any other depiction of her aside the original.

Your ancestors are watching you post in this thread, you have been warned

Candy Kong in the GBA version of DKC scared me for some reason.

>>716270731 (OP)
Idk man I've jerked off to all three of these

Its not a meds thing, I just really like character design and what goes into making a character/species/style/etc. As for Candy it hit me hard cause out of all the Kongs she is the only one that didnt really make a good transition into the new era.
Like look at this piece of fanart with this bitch's version of Candy. Look how appealing it is and how its more in tune with the other Kongs.

Same OP fag, it still got me thinking so I sketched it out. In terms of face it would have to be like this right?

Keep the top but no underwear

DK gets away with it

>>716279116
that's how she's usually drawn in porn

>>716279116
Fucking hate phone posting, but regardless if DLC for Bananza or something came out it be like this right? In terms purely of face. I just based the hair on 64 but I think with Candy it might be a Kairi from KH situation where her hair changes depending on what fucking hot model the devs are looking at.

So you would say those porn artists get it more then the devs at the time right?Especially since by the Wii era people knew how to design for 3D and shit

>>716270731 (OP)
Okay now Im gonna be a real autistic fag but now I found ANOTHER werid fucking flaw and that being the fucking feet. Yes I apologize fot discussing this at autistic legnth but here me out. The feet looked awkward in the original renders right? So for 64 they at least hide that shit by giving her shoes, but when we get to the Wii era we the devs know have to ask how do we give the "hot" monkey feet? Well what they decided on was just giving her regular feet but just take off a toe like in the cartoon. But that is a design flaw cause know that brings in the issue with Dixie, why does she have monkey paw for feet but Candy no?(Tiny also had this issue but its less noticable cause shes wearing sandals, covers some of her feet.
Noticing this shit makes me appreciate the design choices in Bananza. Those devs KNEW that making hot monkey feet would be fucking weird so they gave Poppy shoes just like the original Rare team did for their girls.
But that begs the question, if Candy were brought back by some type of miracle what kind of fashion choices would she make. The design solution in this case is obvious, give her shoes and dont show monkey feet, but WHAT kind of outfit in general would she wear in the modern era? Do they do what they did with K Rool and just base it more off of 64?

I wanna kiss that monkey

You know what Wii Era Candy looks like? How they drew Wendy for the Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon. No wonder she's so bizarre.
