Description (Messy) Sketches, ideas, object concepts, location concepts, and misc. mock designs for a nonexistent Crash game. Sometimes I dabble in designing other aspects, rather than just drawing the characters. I have tonnes of ideas for how everything could look, homage the past games, and how the gameplay would go. This is all just design wish-fulfilment, for fun. I like playing around with ideas. This material is far from professional-looking XD

But in general, I'm still most interested in thinking about the characters and their story.

I could use some of the location design I've done for a Crash comic, if I ever got around to doing one.

Crash Bandicoot belongs to Activision.

You must become a desinger for Crash's games! Have you ever thought about if?

I'd love to be! But the chances of getting to be one are astronomically slim.

I'm not even sure where to start! Looking into how wouldn't hurt, but I still think it's incredibly unlikely.

They need to bring back the games so you can play a part in designing them.

Oh man, that'd be a dream come true ovo;;;; If they brought them back it'd make me really happy anyway...

Thanks~ All you have to do is play around with designs. Vary them, make different versions of stuff, you know. The imperative is to give it a try, if you want to!

This is interesting, although your handwriting is rather small

Thanks! I draw on A4 so I make my writing extra tiny to fit around everything. I might just type out what my notes say from now on, so everyone can read it properly >_>

i wish so much that I could read your tiny writing! XD A comic would be very cool, I'd be interested as to how you'd portray a story! ^_^ also, I noticed an incredibly awesome pic of brio and cortex on your tumblr that you haven't uploaded here!! ;D It's amazing, what you can do with some humble markers. Then again copics and promarkers are pretty much the bees knees XD You may have to teach me how to draw sometime XD

Strixic In reply to Wumpatrix [2013-07-29 11:47:07 +0000 UTC]

Haha woops, I thought I'd made it just about big enough to read. I guess I could transcribe and put the text in the description?

 

I've been wrangling with comic ideas for a while. Have to wait and see how things might develop on that front.

 

Yeah, I forgot about that one o3o; I might put it on here sometime.

 

Markers are awesome~ I have had people inquiring about tutorials. Thing is, I have so many different styles and colouring styles! My process is never linear or exactly the same, whatever I'm drawing. Some colouring sessions get really complicated XD If I have any ideas for something, I'll see what I can do.

Wumpatrix In reply to Strixic [2013-07-29 11:59:55 +0000 UTC]

Naw, you're very nice to do that! 
I now have the 72 set a of ciao copics and im sooooooooooooooo chuffed with them. I've been watching and reading tons of tutorials XD  I totally agree. Markers are incredibly awesome. Especially if you want a nice airbrushed look but you can't do digital art XD
You do use many different techniques and combine several at times, so yeah, that would get complicated XD You just do what you wanna do ^_^ You also have this incredibly unique jazzy style. It's a very stylish style. ^_^


Hey, you ever tried Zig art and graphic twin markers? Those babies are amazing!

I haven't tried those, actually! I'm interested in trying different sorts :3

Wumpatrix In reply to Strixic [2013-07-29 12:45:10 +0000 UTC]

well they are INCREDIBLY awesome. But they're not refillable!!! weh

I work in an art shop that sells promarkers and zig markers, but not copics. It sucks because I can LOOK at the pretty markers and test them but haven't enough money to buy them all! 

Okay, I shall give you a mini review of zigs XD the inner salesperson is coming out D:
Well, I must say, Zigs are very very easy to use and blend! They don't bleed as much, or smell as they're water based ^_^ They're twin tipped, the same as the limited edition copic sketch markers. One brush nib and a fine nib. They don't have as much of a variety of colours as promarkers and copics, but that is because you can brush lightly or overlap to get your own shade ^_^ The blenders are incredibly useful for creating your own colours too. They are kind of like watercolour pens. I highly recommend them ^_^
Gak, sorry for such a long paragraph!

Strixic In reply to Wumpatrix [2013-07-29 12:52:53 +0000 UTC]

Do you? That's interesting! I'd be a terror working in an art shop. All I'd do is sample the merch XD

Those sound great OvO I'd love non-smelly markers. And I'm REALLY big on blending so they sound very good for me. I really want to check 'em out now... haven't seen them in any artshops I've been to though :/ I'll need to do some hunting when I go out.

Don't worry about long comments. I like long comments!

Wumpatrix In reply to Strixic [2013-07-29 13:05:08 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! Yeah, I do that. ALL the time. I've wasted a ton of tester sheets XD I REGRET NOTHING


Everyone I know who uses them loves how they don't smell. It doesn't matter much to me because I can't smell anyway!! It's very handy when I'm using copics! o.O 

Many people have noticed you like to blend XD You've got talent I must say ^_^
These zigs. They're excellent on almost any kind of paper! I'm sure you could get them on le internet, just search 'zig art graphic twin' somewhere. I really hope you get your hands on them! I'd love to see you tune your talent to zigs for a while and see what you come up with XD

You can't smell? Gosh o.o though that really does have an advantage when it comes to markers ouo;;;

I'll give them a try, but first I'll have to get my hands on them~ >:3

Haha yup XD And also when someone farts in the car on a long road trip and the windows can't be rolled down because it's raining a LOT and we're on a motorway. huehuhhuehuehee
Ohmygosh so you may actually give them a go? That would be so cool!! You'd be super good with them! They feel pretty different to copics but that doesn't mean they're bad. If anything they're better! I just with they were refillable

omg I've had experiences like that on holiday. Useful indeed. Yargh XD

Yeah, I'm very interested in them. I wanna try any art stuff that sounds good, especially markers I get SO excited when I have good new pens. Gives me new creative energy. Shame they're not refillable, but that's only one downside as far as I can see~

oh. I knew that


At the tip top of Scotland theres a teeny group of islands called the Orkney islands, and on the main island there is a tiny city called Kirkwall, and in that tiny city theres one little art shop. So, uh, yea. A little bit fat away o.O

WHOOAAA. Well. Uhh. I wanted to visit the Orkney islands. I just have no idea when or if it might happen ouo;;;; It's... possible I'll get to your shop o3o heh

Strixic In reply to Wumpatrix [2013-07-29 16:13:37 +0000 UTC]

Sure! Though, most of my knowledge to do with the isles is from wildlife programmes... I don't know much about the towns, the people or other stuff... o_o;

I watch wildlife shows almost religiously, and there's been a few that visited Orkney. Mostly showing the seabird colonies, raptors, seals and orca. And the isles around Britain are beautiful in general. Looks like an awesome place to me!

Wumpatrix In reply to Strixic [2013-07-29 16:24:36 +0000 UTC]

Naw thanks! It is pretty cool and the wildlife is pretty unique here. Orkney I quite famous for it's large puffin population!

Although I'm not from the islands, I've lived here for ages. If you do ever come you'd be overwhelmed with historic attractions. You'll love the wildlife, we have all sorts of crazy birds and cute seals! Oh, and dolphins and orca, and if you get to go snorkelling you can see tons of really rare fish too!


Btw, have you watched Brave?

OMG the puffins I love puffins 8D

Yeah, it looks like such a cool place to visit. Wildlife is a great way to convince me into going places XD

No, not yet. That's one of the Pixar films I haven't seen, but I intend to.

Wumpatrix In reply to Strixic [2013-07-30 10:16:29 +0000 UTC]

well, I haven't seen brave either XD But theres a ring of stones that's very important in the movie, and that place is real and on Orkney! Its brilliant if you want to do some Brave cosplay.

and PUFFINS. PUFFINS EVERYWHERE.

In shops you get these little signs with a puffin on them with a cigarette in it's beak, and it's crossed out saying "No Puffin'"


Well, theres an idea if you ever want a holiday XD
