#Squawktober drawing 5/??

Screenshot redraws might be one of my favorite things to draw.

A drawing of Professor Chops from Donkey Kong Country Returns imitating the infamous Riddler "Does He Know?" meme taken from a screenshot of Robert Pattinson's "Batman" film. Set in Donkey Kong Bananza's "Forbidden Layer."

These pics are from Friday. Coworkers set up a Happy Bday balloon banner and someone even got me a nice DK lunch bag as a gift!

My cubicle, full of my Donkey Kong paraphernalia, with “Happy Birthday” balloons hanging over it.

"Ya-Banana-Doo!"

#SquawkstheParrot #Mario #SuperMario #DonkeyKong #DonkeyKongBananza #TheFlintstones

A drawing that parodies the intro of the Flintstones animated series. Mario is in his builder outfit, Squawks the Parrot is taking the place of the bird that acts as the worker's alarm, and Donkey Kong is turf-surfing on a rock in place of Fred Flintstone sliding down the dinosaur's tail.

They’re soooooo bad at lyric-writing in English as well 😭 nuts that they’re going all-in with having more emotional vocal themes in their games

Yeah maybe I should do something other than draw parrots with these arms

A picture of my shoulders and arms, plus the body they’re attached to.

A drawing of Squawks the Parrot and Winky the Frog from Donkey Kong Country. Both characters are positioned on a play stage with Winky drawn in a way that parodies the Looney Tunes' "Michigan J. Frog" character.

This bird has gotten SUPER busy in the last year! Everyone wants a piece of him now!

Working around Squawks's own schedule, every MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, and FRIDAY I'll be posting a drawing that features Squawks the Parrot from Donkey Kong, as a part of "Squawktober."

Wait a second!!!

Squawks DOES get a new icon! His third one! ❤️

Tj Gav @tjgav.bsky.social · Sep 13

It’s nuts because just days before this was announced I downloaded My Nintendo’s Returns HD wallpaper because he was featured on it

Squawks fans are UP

Tj Gav @tjgav.bsky.social · Sep 13

This is ADORABLE!

These articles are always a great read! I couldn’t be more happy seeing Squawks with everyone else in that screenshot.

Slight note: the latest 2D Mario is actually titled “Super Mario BROS. Wonder”

QUAWKS spotted!!!

They just look SO great!

Literally EVERYONE else is getting amiibo! They would have been SOOOOOOOO perfect for this 😭

The communal big brother 😭

Donkey Kong looking over Luigi, Peach, Mario, Wario, and Waluigi, all of whom have just been transformed into babies. Taken from the newly announced “Mario Tennis Fever” for Nintendo Switch 2.

That was a Sylux amiibo!? It was in the corner of my eye and kinda tacked on so I thought it was a Dark Samus reprint
