Here's a little extra something. I did a couple of sketches based on the Crash Bandicoot series while I was on a Crash kick sometime ago.

And for the record, I did see the recently leaked Crash image and I am SERIOUSLY hoping that is indeed hinting at a new Crash game. And yes, I'm a huge sucker for his redesign, looks like a design I would make for him. xD

Maybe I'll do more in the future but for now, enjoy ~ =)

Actually... I'm looking at it closely, now. It looks like he might just be a new character in Skylanders... His design is consistent with the other character designs from that game. -___-
JamesTheReggie's avatar
huh ~

well, who knows really. At least his redesign looks pretty faithful to Naughty Dog's representation. Here's hoping it's not just for Skylanders. '. '
Danny8bit's avatar
Yeah, the design IS a lot better. I'll give them that.

Is that Coco in the bottom-right corner? I haven't played much Crash since Crash Team Racing. ^^; If so, then what was the point of getting rid of Tawna?
Anyway, I haven't seen this new redesign of Crash, but it doesn't look bad at all. It's visually appealing, which is more than I can say for Skylanders Spyro, but I digress.

yeah that's Coco. as for why Tawna vanished, it's because of bullshit Naughty Dog went through with Universal concerning her design. The Tawna you see in the first game is a toned down version of what Naughty Dog initially wanted with the character (something like this [link] ). Upset with the forced changes, Naughty Dog ultimately scrapped her and replaced her with Coco. Funny enough, Tawna did make a comeback in Crash Boom Bang, and her design there certainly has more in common with Naughty Dog's Original Design than what came out of the Game.

Her ingame model doesn't look too different from the beta.
JamesTheReggie's avatar
true, it's mostly just the omission of cleavage, open navel, and inclusion of Crash-styled shoes. But yeah ND was not happy about the changes so they just up and dumped her with no explanation . . . . outside of Japan anyway. In Japan a reason was given for Tawna's absence in future games in that . . . she fucking dumped Crash for Pinstripe. |D

You may have known that already but I felt like bringing it up cuz at least Japan was kind enough to give a reason. xD
bulgariansumo's avatar
No, I didn't know that. I learned something new today! Pinstripe was pretty dapper...:XD:

Ahhh. I see you're digging the new design, eh? Yeah. I saw that picture. I honestly think the design is not half bad and wouldn't mind seeing another Crash game with that design. It's better than those "Mutant and Titan" redesign to be honest. Not only that, but they kinda killed the classic gameplay. But hey, it still ain't half bad in my opinion. I don't totally hate it at the bottom of my heart. I hope I'm not sounding like a hardcore angry person at Sierra. I'm not like those crazy hard core fans who are like, "OMFG! WHAT THE HECK DID THEY DO TO MY CHILDHOOD?! EPIC FAIL!!!" And don't get me started on those comments on what other people think of the redesign. Zeesh. Those people need to grow up. Anyhow, these are very pleasant doodles. I'm actually liking how you're drawing Crash. You're really digging the design. :D

This art seriously bring me so much nostalgic and childhood! I thought Crash was done, i scroll down the link you sent to those people and I am excited! I hope he comes back, I want to play him again. Crash was my first Playstation one game. :heart: The new ones aren't so bad, but it doesn't feel the same like how I use to play as a kid.
JamesTheReggie's avatar
yeah I hope he comes back too. Seriously he doesn't deserve to be shoved aside so that the tougher, grittier a-holes can hog all the limelight. ='I
