Description Back with another Cortex render after a long break! I learned alot about rendering, lighting, and just moving rigs in general during those two months, and I'm happy to say most of it has payed off! The difference between this Cortex render and the last one is massive in my opinion, if just for the lighting alone.

This pose is based off of Cortex's CotT render, though with obvious differences in expression. Theres... not actually alot of official Cortex renders out there, I'm running pretty low on ones to remake. Luckily, Cortex has alot of in-game poses to eventually get to, in addition to tons of original ideas I have brewing.

These renders won't start coming out back to back like the first 5 anytime soon, sorry to say, but I'm hoping to be a bit more frequent with them. In other words, gonna try to avoid anymore 2 months gaps if I can help it. With October coming up soon, however, I probably won't be making much then, with Inktober and all (and my Inktober projects don't get posted online, so unfortunately that won't fill the gap either). Maybe there will be a really cool CTR:NF legendary skin I'll want to render though for Halloween, who knows? Point is, I may be slow for a little longer, but I hope to keep pumping out Crash renders and improve on them in the near future.

Thanks again for the feedback! The Cortex is the N.Sane Trilogy seems to be mostly Naughty Dog Cortex in my opinion, but CTR:NF Cortex definitely screams Twinsanity flare. His design in both games (since they are identical) also takes alot of cues from Twinsanity, which is interesting since none of the other character in the N.Sane Trilogy seem to take anything from later installments. I guess they just knew how impactful Twinsanity Cortex really was!

I can definitely consider making a Titans Era Cortex render one day. It's not one I am super fond of, but I have nothing against it either. I'll admit now it won't happen in like the next couple of renders, but I can add it to my to-do list for if I'm ever feeling it! Updating his materials and bumpmaps to N.Sane standards sounds like a fun little project.

Also his liver spots really threw me for a loop when I noticed them while making my first render. It's not like... a bad thing but the N.Sane Trilogy really didn't need to go for THAT much realism, it's actually a bit nasty. The dirt on his glove fingers specifically makes some render awkward to work with, like a texture error except it's actually not...
