New Crash Bandicoot coming Oct 2 2020

I'm sure everyone's aware of this by now. The latest Crash game is on the way! This coming Oct 2 2020. The trailer is spectacular. Several of my original characters. Sharing the glory with Joe Pearson. We were colleagues in the development of what's become a classic franchise. Joe was the genius between us. Congrats to all involved with what appears to be something of a video game  masterpiece. Terrific production. Bold and vibrant design. Looks like a lot of fun. Excited for its success! Good wishes to all.

    Hey Charles! The new Crash game looking good so far, I like Toys for Bob are adding some new things to game play. Also I made new original Crash character. A Platypus martial artist that you can look here. https://twitter.com/HazBlackslick/status/1281900479073579008

    Hazman that's very good! Nice design and well drawn. I like the sketchy aspect to the line work. This character would be fun to animate.

    The game looks great, definitely what I wanted to see from a modern Crash game in terms of artsyle, some of the designs deviate a bit from the originals, but in general everything looks fantastic!
    It's too bad that a lot of fans are dismissing this game just because of the redesigns, even going so far as to make online petitions to change them, which is completely ridiculous.
    The fanbase seems to be split in the middle about it, and in this climate it's great to see the original designer be very positive about them!
    Pardon my curiousity, but what are your honest in-depth opinions about the new designs?
    (Just for show here are some clear pictures of them:

    Hi Charles,

    I have a number of original sketches from the first Crash Bandicoot game on PS1 (some by you) that I'm not entirely sure what to do with!

    Example: https://i.redd.it/ckp4q68ze7a51.jpg

    I'd love to post the full album somewhere for people to enjoy but not 100% sure I have permission to as the copyright is still active.

    Is there someway I can (privately) send you the link to the album for you to vet first please? Or for you to post if you'd prefer! Might be safer that way...

    I tried tweeting you before but not sure if you still use Twitter..

    Thanks!
    Alex

    Geb thanks for those links! Right now it's very busy and I have to deal with what's in front of me at any given moment it seems. It's all positive so I'm happy about that. Still I have to answer to the immediate demands on my time which are many and which keep me from interacting on social media. That said I plan to publish a design analysis of how the characters in the new Crash game look.

    Rockyrally I'm trying to get to commissions. There's a lot of people who ask for them. I'm doing my best to work towards this.

    Hi Alex. Wow! How did you get that drawing? If it's original then it's my final line cleanup of Ripper Roo. You can send me the link. Go to TheAnimationAcademy.com and click of the contact tab. You can email me directly that way. Here's the link https://www.theanimationacademy.com/contact-us ... I'll take a look and we'll go from there.

    I beat the game at 2 days, it was very HARD.
    There is a "Willie Wombat" Skin for Crash and Coco.

    Mister G that is interesting! Pinky and the Brain is one of my all time favorite cartoons. My favorite in the 90's. Glad they're coming back.
