AHAHA! HEE-HEE-HAHA!
-Ripper Roo

In retrospect, slapping a straitjacket on an animal that fights mainly with its legs seems like a very poor decision and seems to stop absolutely none of Ripper Roo's motor skills. You had one job, Cortex.

Fun fact: The laugh Ripper Roo does in the classic PS1 games is an archival laugh that pops up occasionally in things, usually Disney productions. It was first recorded in Disney's Lady and the Tramp and is used in the It's A Small World Disneyland ride and the movie Elf.
I say this because this laugh is also used in one of Disneyland's firework shows, and since I work there and mainly work nights, I've heard his laugh a LOT and it's always jarring to suddenly hear the Ripper Roo laugh come out of the castle's speakers.

Kicking off 2015 pretty slowly (dear lord, it's the 14th of January and I haven't posted anything new yet?) with a Crash Bandicoot character, because I keep promising my watchers I'd draw more from this series and never actually do. Which is a shame because I love pretty much all of the character designs in that series and I've drawn maybe...two characters from it recently.

It's middle on the poll so I figured it was a good excuse. Don't worry, Zelda and Spyro fans, you will be seeing some stuff soon.

After failing to draw N. Gin (but I'm kicking around a sketch idea so maybe he'll show up this week), I decided to draw my second favorite character, Ripper Roo. Ripper Roo doesn't really do much beyond make consistent appearances in pretty much all of the PS1 games but his design is pretty amazing just from how simple yet effective it is. I just like how the scientists made a creature that can get a degree in political science very easily and has the ability to read and understand higher concepts of math and science...but they decided to stick him into the Cortex Vortex, a completely untested machine, and thus all of that knowledge is trapped in a gibbering creature that likes the soothing sounds of constant explosions.

I have drawn this guy before, but it was a long long while back and it was in his doctor persona:

I will be able never escape these pictures.

Kind of changed up his feet so they look more like kangaroo feet. Almost did it with the snout and ears but you kind of lose that Ripper Roo-ness when you get rid of the dog ears and dog mouth. He's probably like Dingodile in that he has some dog DNA in there just to make him more of a soldier of face-ripping death.

By the way, kangaroo feet are slightly terrifying. They have three toes, but their tiny toe actually has two claws and two pads, like kangaroos are always in the process of mutating and their tiny toes haven't completely fused yet.

Disclaimer: Feel free to post onto other sites, but don't be that jerk and erase the signatures/claim it for your own/post it and then talk about how terrible the character is. I've seen all three of these happen and it's not cool.
