Willie the Wombat (BRR Style)

Description

Did you know that during production of the First Crash Bandicoot game, Crash was originally called Willie the Wombat? The evidence is here: crashbandicoot.wikia.com/wiki/…

However, Universal (who at the time was the owner of both Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon) tried finding other names for Willie as "Willie" wasn't exactly the family friendly type of name. Naughty Dog opposed to those choiced but ultimately, they ended up calling him Crash Bandicoot.

Now, this is my attempt to make my own version of Willie the Wombat. The one of the right is based on looking at the concepts of Willie the Wombat, also basing on Crash's appearance in the deleted traditionally animated cutscenes of Crash Bandicoot (www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpRuTV… ), the Crash of the Titans counterpart of Crash (s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/o… ) and coloring him brown just to make him look more Wombatish. The one of the left is how I would try and normally make him, have him look like my way of drawing Crash ( Imaginators Crash vs Academy Crash by Blackrhinoranger)

And as a bonus, if I ever include him in any of my animations whether they are Skylander or Crash Bandicoot focus, his personality will be based on Crash Bandicoot's fluently speaking appearance in the Skylanders Academy TV series (keep in mind he also talked in a commercial from 1997 www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1I71E… ). He often serves as Crash Bandicoot's translator incase the character have no idea what he is saying.

Which design do you like more? The short one or the tall one?

BTW, There is another character named Willie Wombat from the looney tune spin off, Taz-Mania.
