Following on from our recent look back at Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo 64, the Super Mario Broth group has acquired some concept art for the canceled GameCube sequel, Donkey Kong Racing.  Featuring the Kong clan as of Donkey Kong 64 and Donkey Kong Country 3, the simple sketches and render showcase Donkey Kong, Diddy, Lanky, Tiny, Kiddy, Cranky, and Taj the magical elephant genie.  Concept art never quite matches up with a game's eventual art style, and these sketches are more stylized than I'd have expected from a finished release, but it's still interesting to see and wonder what might have been under different business circumstances.
