Ok, so many people ask me questions about 'Outcast Bandicoot' and such, so here's some answers Just email me if you have questions to ask.
Is it true that Crunch was added to Twinsanity, for you? It used to be on Crash Mania last year but disappeared for some reason... was it just a rumor? I've been asked this kind of often lately, but wasn't really comfortable with adding it here (cause I don't like to sound like a show off, lol) but since I keep being asked, and other people do even more 'show off' like things well... yeah, about time I tell the truth!
And well yes, it's true. Years ago when I was at the Crash Fansite Forums, everyone was raving about Twinsanity, which was still in the making. After I saw those early images, I was constantly hoping that Crunch would be in it and that it would be the 'original' one (lol, I was a bit psycho fan back then, my apologies). At the time, no one actually knew this but there were actually around 2 to 4 'members', which were actually people from Travellers Tales... but no one knew for a long time. They apparently overlooked our gossips and such about the game... and also noticed my posts. We found out they were there about a year later, I was a GMod at the time and I noticed those accounts had... @t-tales.com emails (or they may have been different, I don't exactly remember!) So they were from Travellers Tales!
Then when it was closer to the games release, a new video clip was leaked onto the internet and it was the one with Crunch's cameo! I went crazy with joy of course, since I was crazy back then, lol (again, my apologies!) and I was just glad that he was at least in the game, though I did hope he'd have more roles, unfortunately he didn't but at least he was there at all.
Then after a while, me and some fans started to wonder why Crunch was so short compared with everyone else at the scene, so I decided to have to guts to go ask "Cheesyniblets" on DeviantART about it (he's one of the 3D modelers that worked on Twinsanity, he has some character models in his gallery). He replied and told me he wasn't quite sure, since he didn't make the model, so he said when he goes back to work he'll ask the guy who made it. Then a few days later, he replied and told me it's because he was added at the last minute, and in the format they created him on him wasn't able to resize... so they had to keep him at that size for the game. And as he was explaining that, he also told me I was the reason they even added him after all... I was pretty surprised of course, and almost didn't believe him! Hah. Actually, for weeks I was wondering "was he really true when he said that o_o? Or was it some joke to keep me happy?" I decided to believe it anyhow, and move on. Then sometime in 2006, I was having a private convocation with "FakeNina" (Another person from TTales that worked on Twinsanity) in PM at the Sierra Crash Forums about something, and then he randomly told me "Sorry for making Crunch small in Twinsanity too, heh" and then I was rather shocked, again, heh. It was him that made the model, and others for the game. And it was him that added him for me.
So from then on, it was all cleared up and proved to be true after all! I'm rather grateful and honored they did that, so now I don't really care that he's mistakenly short and has no other role in the game. At least he's there! I'm just surprised they'd do that for me back then, especially since my work was horrid back in those days! haha. And that's another reason I'm fond of TTales, and was really saddened when Travellers Tales Oxford was shut down and never given a chance to continue with the Crash series.
But there you have it, the full story. That fact that is got deleted from CM is because apparently, I'm "a nasty, evil person" for not liking Radical Entertainment and their new 'Crash' series. Aww, I'm not allowed an opinion anymore :< maybe I better go be an emo and cut myself now ;.;? Fat chance.
When will the next OB Movie Chapter be done? When I can do it, it will be done. I don't like it how people keep pressuring me about the movie, it's something I do when I have free time, and I don't have that very often. But I haven't given up with the movie.
Do you draw Crash yiff/yaoi/yuri/porn at all? No. I'm not a lowlife so yeah, don't expect me to be drawing any of that garbage, not even with my own characters ;) unlike a few other lowlifes out there who aren't even real Crash fans and only do it for 'popularity' and their little pathetic furry fantasies.
Are you still a Crash fan? Well, in a way yes. But I have actually let go of the series, as most of you may know. I dropped it after Twinsanity... sorry but this is my decision. At least I'm not being a Naughtydog fangirl or some flamer going around saying "blah the new games suck" and stuff. But yeah, even though I aint much of a fan of the Crash games anymore, I am still happy to work with my Outcast Bandicoot work. That's probably the only Crash related thing I really enjoy working on.
Why do you dislike CotT? Because I do. I really don't want to go furtherer with this issue... I am actually growing tired of the series and flame wars. And please bare in mind that this is MY opinion alright? If you guys don't like my view on this then just please, just keep it to yourself. I'm not hurting any of you guys by not liking this new game alright? I am quite annoyed that I'm almost not allowed to have an opinion on this without getting mindless flaming from angered fans. I am allowed to have an opinion, so don't forget that. I can't like everything now can I? Do you see me saying "you suck" to Crash fans that like the game? no, you don't. I don't mind if you like it... just don't try forcing your opinion down my throat, that's all.
Do you hate the new Titans Crunch and do you still hate CTTR (Mr) Crunch? I'll answer the CTTR Crunch question first. And to be honest, no. I don't really hate him anymore. He's nothing to me nowadays, sure in 2005 I was really infuriated with him but now... I don't care at all. He no longer exists in the games anyways (in a way) I only believed he shouldn't be the 'new' Crunch, that's all. As for the new one... well I actually don't really hate him, I actually dislike the whole entire series make over in general.
Will you draw any Crash of the Titans fanart? Never. Sorry but I wont. There are other fanartists that will draw it anyways, try searching DeviantART.
Will there be another Outcast Bandicoot story (after OB3)? Yes. I have some ideas for another... and I think it'll be the end of the OB saga BUT I am kind of thinking of another story about Crunch's 3 kids, which wont have 'Outcast Bandicoot' in the title, because that won't make sense for the bandiger kids! But yeah, I do have ideas. Hopefully I'll write these someday.
In OB0, Tani was evolved before Crunch, does that mean that she is older than him? It is possible that Tani is older than Crunch, but they're still very close to the same age though. She could be a few days, weeks or a few months older... but not years, definitely not XD
How did you think (what inspired you to make) of the Outcast Bandicoot series? Well I guess Crunch is what inspired me to start the series (along with the game Wrath of Cortex, of course!) but yeah, I really thought he was a cool character that needed to be developed further so that's what I did. I was originally going to start with Crunch being created in WoC but then I decided I should make him have a past instead (since it'll be more unique, longer and interesting) but yeah, Crunch and WoC is what made me start with all this. None of the other games made me think of such an idea, heh.
How do you make your Outcast Bandicoot Movie? I use Macromedia Flash 5 to make it. But I use Windows Movie Maker to convert the files to WMV, so I can upload them to sites such as Youtube.
Why do you add the characters weights/heights and how do you know them? Good question. And actually, I made them all up. It's obvious that their heights/weights are unknown... I just made them up myself. It actually helps me with when I draw and animate them and when comparing different characters with one another. (also, the characters sizes change in almost every game... so I had to make up them)
Will you make an Outcast Bandicoot game? No. I simply don't have time for that... however I have made a few simple games related to it over the years, here's two of the older versions http://www.outcastbandicoot.xtremeisland.com/OutcastB_game.htm but here's a newer one I recently made in my spare time http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/50329275/
Who was the first Crash character you made? Kris roo is, he was created back in 1997 when I was about 7/8 yrs old, Kris was also named 'Kristen the Kangaroo' back then, he's been through a lot of changes, he was first brown, then dark blue and now red/orange colour!
Who's your favourite Real Crash Bandicoot Character? Crunch is my Favourite Crash Bandicoot character, because he just looks cool and he also has a great voice and personality, he's basically an awesome character, he is also my inspiration to many things. Which has helped me get furtherer with my work.
What is 'The New Mob'? It was the old title for the Outcast Bandicoot series.
Are you going to make an Outcast B' Movie? I'm currently working on it, it's nothing 'big' though, it's just being made with Flash 5. I work on it piece by piece in my spare time and the progress can be found in the Movies section!
Is Tani a real Crash bandicoot Character? NO. I made her up. Tani is a Crash Bandicoot related character, But I made her up (just had to answer this, since I sometimes get asked this by people not too familiar with the CB series).
What program's do you use for drawing and animation? I use Paint Shop Pro 9 and for animation, I use Animation shop 3 and Flash 5! and for Movies, I use Movie Maker 2.
What is an Anthro? An anthro is an animal with human like Abilities, but not part human. In the OB series, the anthros are referred to as 'Evolved Animals' since they are actually still animals, but evolved into what they are to compete and work with humans themselves.
What species is Crunch? He's a bandicoot, not a wolf, dog, whatever! (believe me, some people actually though he was those!) but if you mean what species of bandicoot then.... I think its a made-up one, because none of the bandicoots are maroon/red/etc.... and none have floppy ears too, so I just think he's a fantasy bandicoot type, which I think is cool, so I made up the... Burgundy Bandicoot. I made it up like Xtreme island, so don't think it's real or official. kay?
Whats a Thylacine/Taz Tiger? Its a marsupial which is now extinct though... it looked like a dog (face and body) but had a tail which was thick like a kangaroo tail and had stripes along its back to the base of its tail. I know Tani's tail isn't like a taz tigers one but Is because that's how Tinys tail is too.
