Hey there!

It's day 22 of Villain Month! Today, I give you Dr. Neo Cortex, made famous as Crash Bandicoot's arch nemesis way back in the PS1 days (the best Sony console, in my opinion).

Cortex's motives were never very clear to me. I'm sure he, like many other video game doctors, was looking to take over the world or something. Doctors in video games seem to like doing that (take Dr. Robotnik, Dr. Wily, and all of Cortex's Dr. friends and associates, for instance). Most of the time, they use robots and missiles and stuff to do all of their evil bidding, which leads me to believe that most of these doctors were probably nuclear radiologists and robotics experts before they were villains. I'd really hate to imagine what a former gynecologist would do...

Was that out of bounds?

Anyway, I really love the old Crash Bandicoot games. 1, 2, 3, and Crash Team Racing are all fantastic, but beyond that, the games range from "meh," to "really bad." I think it's a darn shame Crash has been completely redesigned these days, and I'm pretty sure Cortex is no longer a part of the story. Oh well, at least I still have a working copy of 3 that I can play on my PS2.

Most of the image is fairly accurate, as he was referenced from the manual for CB3, though I realized after finishing the pattern for the Nitro box background that I forgot to actually reference that from the manual as well, and was too lazy to go back and change it. Oh well. Nitro boxes are evil anyway, so I really have no desire to pay any respect to them the way I do Cortex.

Alright, anyway, I hope you guys like it! I'll see you tomorrow with another famous baddie. ;D

Adobe Photoshop CS, about 40 minutes total.

Crash Bandicoot and Neo Cortex are (c) whoever owns them nowadays, though I know Naughty Dog used to make the games so I'll say that for nostalgia's sake. This image is (c) me, Andrew T. Green. It's not a particularly great image, so I can't imagine why you'd want to bother stealing it. Still, if the thought crosses your mind, please don't steal artwork because that's the internet equivalent of being trailer trash, and oh boy, what would the neighbors think?!
