Videogame character creator/animator. Father of Banjo and Kazooie! King K.Rool! Yooka and Laylee! Dixie Kong! Many more!
Level complete, DKC2 style! Was great revisiting my end of level anims from 1995. Also, colour commissions now unlocked!
Recompiled, oh my word! People love the Bear and Bird!

I always wanted to see K. Rool and his very own animal buddy canonically interacting. In my heart and mind, this is as official as it gets! Absolutely so thrilled!! I hope my fellow fans of the Kaptain-King enjoy looking at this almost as much as I will enjoy having it on my wall! :)
Fresh from the pen of his original creator, Kaptain K.Rool returns in an exciting new commission!

HAPPY NEW YEAR My first video to ever blow up was a very negative review of Yooka-Laylee. I don’t take back anything I said in that video However, its remake Yooka-RePlaylee is absolutely incredible. Amazing what a difference 8 years can make, @playtonicgames.com Watch here, youtu.be/fCL68PT1SW4

Donkey Kong Country may have turned out well in the end, but this series of shots taken by an SG IndyCam in 1994 shows the stress the team were under at the time
25 years since we released Banjo-Tooie! Have a boss-montage. Bosses are always the most fun to make. See how big and strong Mr Patch is!
Assembling these freaks for Tooie's 25th. Seems to be taking ages, but getting there now!
Yooka and Laylee are off on a jolly around London today! 🇬🇧💚 If you spot them on your travels, snap a pic and share it with us, we’d love to see! 📸✨ Heading to EGX!? Look out for them, they have stickers!
Yooka-Replaylee is out now on... well EVERYWHERE! 💚💜 The open world 3D platforming epic with hundreds of collectibles to discover, an evil capitalist bee to defeat, and a snake in trousers await! It's bigger. It's better. It's Yooka-Replaylee!
I’m still early into Yooka-Replaylee but… They did it! Immediately - controls better, looks better, sounds better, paced SO MUCH better, and funnier. And I say this as someone who still does not like the original Yooka-Laylee. But Replaylee so far is good, maybe even great!

Another Banjo-Kazooie commission. Slowly adding some colour. I call this one 'Flushed with success' Thank you
Second in Kommand 🐊 This is #DonkeyKong art day 69 (yeah yeah, shut up). I stopped for a while because I really wanted to try and make some new stuff among the reposts! #AltersArtTag Now, which is your favorite design for the hefty boy?
It's great to see DK back in Bananza! Back in 1994, we were getting ready to bring DK back ourselves! With Nintendo having lost ground to Sega in the console wars, it can't be over-estimated how important DKC was for Nintendo (and Rare of course!)
3 decades apart. We were 3d pioneers, back in the day.
