Diddy Kong in SMK!, Finished!

This is a sheet I'll have to finish tomorrow. I'm staying up so late so often, I'm almost turning nocturnal

I've seen Donkey Kong, Funky Kong, but no Diddy Kong in SMK. Seems like a job for me, eh? This is, like, the gazillionth edited from Mario. Mario appears to be a great base for a large variety of characters.
Sad thing is, I had to stray from the SMK palette, but I tried to use colors most fit to the style. I tried the yellows, which were too bright and I tried the reds, same as that of DK Jr., but because of Diddy's red outfit, it would be hard to impossible to tell the shirt from his fur.

Anyhow, feel free to leave comments.

EDIT: It's finished.

I'll be proud when you find a different style than Mario Kart...it just gets old. You are VERY good at it, but after a while it just seems bland.

Why is it that you bug people that enjoy a style?

Because if you keep attempting one style over and over again, it leaves no room for improvement or experiencing new, hands-on styles. Something I learned the hard way.

When you attempt a style again and again, you become really really good at it, and then you think, ah, I've mastered this style! Some people then realize that since they've gotten a style down so good, they should try another and see where that leads them. Others, don't.

Yeah, and some people can apply what they learned from one style to make new ones.

For example, I not longer use pure black outlines, I use AA, and I don't over do the colors, thanks to m&L.

Umm ever here of like I dunno, challenging yourself?
EDIT: onto the sprites. Not bad I like em but like Dex said it does get bland after a while.

Exactly! Mastering one style leads to either improving another or making your own. Either way, this isn't a style discussion thread, this is a thread about Nick's SMK sprites. Back on topic!

Very nice edits, Nick. I can't wait to find out what you're going to to do next!

That looks awesome!

The eyes are odd

Diddy Kong has a moustache on the side view. Great work though.

That's looking really good, but his mouth is a little short and flat. Have a look at this.

Lol mario turns to the right and on his latest pose he is an ape... XD
Joke, I know it's a wip. Great job so far.

I've fixed the mouth. I've finished the sheet too. It's queued on the main site.

Sorry for taking this long, but my brother dominated the PC the entire day yesterday.

@Dex: I do stuff other than SMK, but it's usually custom work, like the Splot animations in my signature. Also, should I mention my custom Boom Boom?
