Hi everyone. Now that I'm publishing a newsletter for my school, our mascot Artshark will be making frequent appearances once again. Here's the latest from the newsletter sent out earlier this month. Presented in reverse completion...

ReplyDeleteYour Shark remind me "NASH" from Crash Nitro Kart.
You were the character designer of CNK?
Yes, I was the lead character designer on CNK. Artshark was around for several years before Nash. He was created in 1998. That was 4 years before we started work on CNK. I think the CNK character was influenced by Artshark. Vicarious Visions was doing some design work on that character and they probably were looking for a way to bring Artshark into it.

ReplyDeleteReally? So you're the designer of Nina Cortex??
1998?
wow, he's very old.
I found your old sketches from "Crash team racing Beta"
It's weird, N.Oxide was a human and a Nameless hippopotamus was deleted...Too bad
I worked on Crash Nitro Kart and not Crash Team racing. The characters for CTR were handled by Naughty Dog.
ReplyDeleteReally? I didn't know it.
