Bonus Art: Diddy, Dixie, Neon White, Zero, and 3 more platformer heroes (Patreon)

Hi team! I'm back with another big update for my platformer video game character series! I've drawn 7 more stars from across gaming history! This time, we've got:

-Diddy and Dixie, from the Donkey Kong Country series

-Neon White, from Neon White (This is a recent game, and it's fantastic... a first person platformer with an emphasis on speed running. I'm playing through it right now and I love it!)

-Zero(s), from the Mega Man series (I've included both his original Mega Man X series design, as well as his Mega Man Zero series redesign.)

-Arthur, from the brutal old-school Ghosts 'n Goblins games

-Alex Kidd, SEGA's pre-Sonic mascot (whose games sometimes literally include Rock-Paper-Scissors/Jankenpo as a game mechanic)

-Milodane and the Tinykin from Tinykin (Another recent game... this one is a fantastic collection/exploration focused 3D platformer made by some former Rayman devs)

Yes... it's a real broad chronological range this time, with characters as old as 1985 (Arthur) and as recent as last month (Milodane)! As a certified platformer-ologist, I felt practically obligated to highlight Neon White and Tinykin this month... they are great games that update their respective sub-genres of platformers in brilliant ways, and I was very impressed with both of them.
