C.Syde's own Crash Bandicoot Models

As of the 15th October 2016, I have been drawing my own models of Crash Bandicoot characters. For years, I have been eager to prove to myself and others that I'm capable to making pictures of Crash Bandicoot characters at a would be professional level. I plan to upload some of these pictures at my earliest convenience, once I've got them scanned and polished up.

Tracing is banned from these drawings, although extensive measuring is permitted, in-fact it's strongly encouraged if I want to get my drawings anywhere near as good as the models made by the developers. Although none of these models that I've been drawing have been scanned, polished, and uploaded yet, I have made a list of what the drawings of the characters look like.

All these drawings are being done using Faber Castell Watercolour Pencils and Graphite Sketch Pencils, and the occasional use of a BiC byro pen.

Doctor Neo Cortex

 * Drawn: 25th and 26th October 2016
 * Not Scanned Yet
 * Not Edited Yet
 * Not Uploaded Yet

My Doctor Neo Cortex model is an overall hybrid of the cut-scenes model from Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped by Naughty Dog, the model from Crash Nitro Kart by Vicarious Visions, and the 20th Anniversary Edition Render model by CRASHARKI. The colour scheme for my Cortex model is based on the colour scheme from Warped. The silhoutte is otherwise based on that of the CNK model, except that my model of Cortex wears black boots, and black socks, instead of just black shoes.

My attempts at drawing the mouth are questionable in many respects. Obviously, I had trouble choosing how I was going to draw it. I'm not satisfied with my Cortex's mouth to be honest. Hopefully once he's scanned, I can use a photo editing software to fix the mouth, or maybe I will redraw the mouth and get it scanned and edit it in instead of the current mouth. My Cortex model is the 9th model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.

Aku Aku

My Aku Aku model is an overall hybrid of the cut-scenes model from Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped by Naughty Dog, and the 20th Anniversary Edition Render model by CRASHARKI. The colour scheme for my Aku Aku model is based on the colour scheme from Warped. The silhoutte is otherwise mostly based on that of the 20th Anniversary Edition Render model by CRASHARKI. My Aku Aku model is the 1st model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.

Doctor N. Gin

 * Drawn: 24th October 2016
 * Not Scanned Yet

My Doctor N. Gin model is considered to be an attempt at a hybrid of the promotional model from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back by Naughty Dog and the model from Crash Nitro Kart by Vicarious Visions. The basic silhoutte is based on the model from CNK but the colour scheme, including the hairstyle, sleeves, and the holes in his outfit are based on the promotional model from Cortex Strikes Back. My Doctor N. Gin model also has five fingers instead of the usual four. My Doctor N. Gin model is the 8th model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.

Tiny Tiger

 * Drawn: 26th October 2016
 * Not Scanned Yet
 * Not Edited Yet
 * Not Uploaded Yet

My Tiny Tiger model is considered to be an attempt at a replica of the model from Crash Twinsanity by Traveller's Tales, but with a colour scheme closer to that of the model from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back by Naughty Dog. It wasn't easy trying to replicate the colour scheme of the Cortex Strikes Back model when I was also trying to replicate the same level of detail as the Twinsanity model.

I also decided to make his pants a darker shade of green. Other than that, the only real difference between my Tiny model and the one from Twinsanity is that my one has a tail. My Tiny Tiger model is the 10th model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.

Dingodile

 * Drawn: 21st October 2016
 * Not Scanned Yet
 * Not Edited Yet
 * Not Uploaded Yet

My Dingodile model is an overall hybrid of the promotional model from Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped by Naughty Dog and the model from Crash Nitro Kart by Vicarious Visions. The silhoutte is mostly based on the Warped model, but I gave him bigger nostrils, a spikier tail, and yellow trousers with a belt like in CNK. Other than that, the only real difference between my Dingodile model and the one from Warped is that the fur is darker in places, but blonder in others, resulting in a more patchy texture. My Dingodile model also has five fingers instead of the usual four. My Dingodile model is the 6th model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.

Polar

 * Drawn: 19th October 2016
 * Not Scanned Yet

My Polar model is considered to be an attempt at a replica of the model from Crash Nitro Kart by Vicarious Visions, from colour scheme to silhoutte. Without counting the more pencil like shading, the only real difference is the missing brainwash helmet. My Polar model is the 5th model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.

Pura

 * Drawn: 19th October 2016
 * Not Scanned Yet

My Pura model is considered to be an attempt at a replica of the model from Crash Nitro Kart by Vicarious Visions, but with the colour scheme of the model from Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped by Naughty Dog. So it is basically an attempt at a hybrid of the two models. Other than that, the only obvious difference between my Pura model and the CNK one is that my one doesn't have the brainwash helmet. My Pura model is the 4th model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.

N. Trance

 * Drawn: 22nd and 23rd October 2016 (The arms are only half finished)
 * Not Scanned Yet
 * Not Edited Yet
 * Not Uploaded Yet

My N. Trance model is considered to be an attempt at a replica of the model from Crash Nitro Kart by Vicarious Visions, but with the legs being a combination of the model from CNK, the model from Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced by Vicarious Visions, and the concept artwork model from Crash Twinsanity by Traveller's Tales.

The basic colour scheme for the legs is based on the model from N-Tranced. My N. Trance model is the 7th model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models. I haven't yet drawn the hands and the first half of the arms, though I have drawn the arms from the elbows up. The arms will be based on the model from CNK except that I'll be giving him five fingers instead of four.

Penta Penguin

 * Drawn: 18th and 19th October 2016
 * Not Scanned Yet

My Penta Penguin model is considered to be an attempt at a hybrid of the model used for the Penguin enemies from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and the in-kart model from CTR: Crash Team Racing, both models were made by Naughty Dog. The colour scheme is mostly based on the model from CTR except the eyes are greener. The scarf is more detailed, the body is less polygonal, and the feet are more realistic.

I used this picture for some inspiration on how I was going to do my Penta model. I wasn't satisfied with the way the eyes turned out, so I redrew the eyes on the 19th October 2016, drawing them bigger than the ones I'd drawn as part of the model I drew the previous day. It may take a bit of work trying to edit them in once I've got the artwork scanned, but it'll be worth it. My Penta model is the 3rd model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.

Wumpa Fruit

 * Drawn: 16th October 2016
 * Not Scanned Yet
 * Not Edited Yet

My Wumpa Fruit model is an overall hybrid of the model from Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back by Naughty Dog, and the model from Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex by Traveller's Tales. The colour scheme for my Wumpa Fruit model is based on the colour scheme from Cortex Strikes Back. The silhoutte is otherwise based on that of the Wrath of Cortex model. My Wumpa Fruit model is the 2nd model I created for my project of making my own Crash Bandicoot character models.
