<p>Kevin Bayliss is a name that will be instantly familiar to anyone who considers themselves to be a hardcore Nintendo fan; not only was he responsible for the visuals in many of Rare’s classic NES titles, he worked as a character designer on games such as <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/snes/killer_instinct">Killer Instinct</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nes/battletoads">Battletoads</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/snes/donkey_kong_country">Donkey Kong Country</a></strong> – in fact, he’s the guy responsible for creating Diddy Kong.</p>
<p>Bayliss is now plying his trade at Playtonic Games – custodian of the <strong>Yooka-Laylee</strong> franchise – but he’s still keenly aware of his connection with Rare’s past and has started a series of art tutorials on YouTube to showcase his working process.</p>
<p>The first tutorial focuses on Mumbo Jumbo (created by Ed Bryan, another ex-Rare staffer who is now at Playtonic) from <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/n64/banjo_kazooie">Banjo-Kazooie</a></strong>, and offers a fascinating insight into how modern game artists create artwork and concept images for their games. Once upon a time, Bayliss would have been putting pen to paper to concoct his characters, but these days everything is done on a computer.</p>
<p>Bayliss is also involved with the <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/09/former_rare_staff_reveal_salamandos_a_collectable_album_celebrating_over_30_years_of_game_dev">‘Salamandos’</a> project, which aims to fuse his creations with the music of <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/tags/david-wise">David Wise</a>, another Rare legend.</p>
<p>Let us know what you think of the video, and tell us which characters you’d like Kev to tackle next.</p>
