Here's some info about this version of the character:

The character of Kong was something BigJackFilms thought about for a while, he really wanted to see that vicious brutal beast and not sympathize with him until the end of the film. But as time went on he wanted to give Kong more character, the basic idea he had for Kong is that Kong's a gorilla who's very unsocial and it's like that last of his species, but he's also kind of picture Kong as a gorilla with down syndrome and not in a mean way but more in terms of just like how does a creature of that kind of intelligence handle a female companion or whatever and that was something he brought into the script of his fan film but it was more going for the Beauty and the Beast storyline in the film like he tries to make that the dynamic of the story so the character of Kong was just basically he wanted it to be very ugly, he wanted Kong to be very deformed and just kind of he's not a natural gorilla or sympathetic because the more ugly he looks the more scary he looks and then at the end the more sympathetic.

And for the design of Kong he was going for the style of the 1976 version, more on par with a mix of that and Rick Baker's Mighty Joe Young with him being on his forearms a couple of times and eveything.

He is 55 feet tall in this version. He would show no expressions to make him more animal like. And he has better emotions than the 76 Kong. Say Fishbird which design do you think we should use as a placeholder until the real design is made, you know a design thats close to the description of BigJackFilms' design for Kong?

The original 1933 King Kong design

The 1976 King Kong design

The 1998 Mighty Joe Young design (since according to Rick Baker the suit and design of Joe was his way of getting back at Dino De Laurentiis and Carlo Rambaldi for not letting him fully realize his ape suit concept for the 1976 remake of King Kong. He stated in several interviews that this is the suit he always wanted to make for a Kong film)

The 2005 King Kong design

or

The Kong: Skull Island design
