Don't know how far I will go with this but here's a little project I've been working on characters in the DK: KOS style in their classic designs.
Funky:
On the surface level Funky doesn't look like he changed much however PAON did a lot of things to make him less like Donkey Kong. They made his jaw larger, head wider have him larger teeth and changed his nose (although you can't tell in the sprites only in models and art). Because of all this I deleted the head and put DK's head with sunglasses and a bandana (Like what Rare did to make Funky originally). I also changed his fur color back to DK's (PAON gave Funky slightly lighter fur to make him different). Got rid of his shirt, re-added his gold chains, and edited his shorts into striped swim shorts and gave him sandals (truthfully I don't understand why they felt like they needed to get rid of those).
In the end I actually quite like both designs of Funky, The next character however....
King K. Krool:
The character who probably got the most changes where actually very easy to fix. I made the chestplate gold, gave him a slightly larger crown, Made his eyes closer together, mad ethe side of his head smaller and gave him a smaller neck. (I also would have added a tail if the angle didn't hide it)
Wow this became so long I maybe should have put this in my design analysis thread
.
Well um hope you like them!
