Artists George Crudo and Sean Hicks recently set out to redesign Banjo and Kazooie to give them a more modern look.
Pretending that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts never happened, the result is a cheerier, slightly Disney Infity-esque look that I am 100% behind.
Hicks laid out the concept, after which Crudo made a 3D model. They then printed it out for something more tangible.
You might remember last year the same pair were responsible for that awesome Sakurai Amiibo.

The square art style is still pretty prominent, look at Banjo’s hands and feet. I could never get over that look.
Banjo looks like a serial killer
Not exactly a serial killer fester but I think Banjo Kazooie looks awesome even the Rare logo on the back of Banjo Kazooie’s backpack looks awesome too.
I mean come on would wouldn’t wear yellow shorts other then the honey bear himself Banjo and his red crested breegull who will stop at nothing to stop the evil witch and her evil plans.
