To ( technically ) tie-into the Switch release of the N. Sane Trilogy, here's a character I've always found interesting but horribly underused. As many of you know, I'm a big fan of science fiction and the whole mad scientist shtick, so Cortex has always been one of my favorite video game villains. N. Brio always seems forgotten though. He had a pretty cool design to contrast with Cortex, and his monster transformation gimmick has a lot of potential for cool boss fights or even stories. His character development from Mind over Mutant was also the funniest part of the whole game, undeniably. Hopefully, a new Crash game gets made sometime soon and most of the original trilogy cast is kept, with some of the later characters like Nina and Crunch getting reinvented.Anyway, onto the drawing itself. Tried staying true to the original design, while still giving it the realistic touches I like to give things. The mutated arm (+cheek) are supposed to be like a mix between the original and Twinsanity designs, in that he's big and muscular but also somewhat chubby and non-human, hence the lanky fingers. Also wanted to make it look like something happened to him, hence the bolts on his head.Crash Bandicoot
