Description And who knows; if ya really wanna drown in emotional sap; ya could even have him add "And the chip of my brain~"
I don't know Trying to kick my brain back into gear through the nostalgia of Crash and Coco bandicoot. Alright: Symbolical plot-points:
The tone of the background was -originally- supposed to be their front door; an illustration of the flipside of sibling relations; on the one hand, you can be resting quite comfortably inside, leaning on it in complete and utter security as you watch your little sibling completely protected, and dare you think; happy...or on the other hand they could've locked you out completely and left you to starve.
Now; the posture of the two, why is Crash holding her? Well; why wouldn't he? Honestly? He's older, not much wiser, practically depending on her in terms of 'common sense' or structure, I suppose; but at the same time--she's still young enough to need a support beam of her own (Lest she have to get her own batteries or, at this point; defend herself against half of what Crash takes on, )--so ergo: Big brother needs a baby sister, baby sister needs a big brother: Symbolical of semantics I suppose

Seriously: am I the only one who thought Coco was about...8-9? Honestly; when she first appeared, I thought, she just didn't have the general 'form' or even atmosphere of a teenager unlike Crash: Especially not when calling for Crash to fetch her things (Mind you; when you're 7 and there's an all too familiarly big age gap and passive chemistry between them...ya start thinking )

Technical word of advice: if you're gonna use oil pastel on Canvas....Never, EVER use graphite sticks to do the sketch underneath with; hence the horrendeously dirty and unclear texture of Crash and Coco's fur...it only worked for Coco's shirt, but other than that; just sloppy and amaeturish, I guess
And just incase: Coco's -9- in this Hence the proportions and size-differentiation; hey it's a theory sparked when I first saw her on my cousin's playstation, and new games or not: She's gonna stay that way in my head ...makes her more interestingly subtle, I think

Although I don't have anything that good to say this time, I'll still give it a go... :'3

I really love this painting~~ I really like how their eyes turned out and Coco's clothes are very cute and well done!
Their faces are really cute, too~ :3 I began to like Crash's face more, too, for some reason. O.o Nothing wrong with Coco, that's not what I'm saying, there's just something in Crash's face that draws my attention. Could be his goofy grin or whatever, I dunno... :'D

Want his gloves...
Oh, and also! Very good job on Coco's hair~
total love for this whole piece~~
