Description Ah yes the memories. I always was fond of my closest friends' characters. It's bee na while since I drew someone else's character.

One particular character I remember was from my mate Her name is Danni Dingo, the fastest dingo alive and definitely a lover of Crash Bandicoot. Shaz is such a great Crash Bandicoot artist and story teler. And above all a great friend. So I decided to draw Danni dingo herself because she's so cool. Fast, furious and just a kick ass femme fatale! YEAH Danni!

And you still one of me best mates; always. ^^

Danni Dingo is (c) to shaz

DANNI FTW.

Man she's a classic, somehow shaz makes Danni and Crash fit so well together and I second your theory, she makes/made awesome fanfics and has inspiring characters. You've just reminded me to give her a gift I did for her ages ago.

For some reason I love that arm above her head, as usual you've managed to portray excellence and power into a character. She looks 'Crash-like' too with her slightly bigger head, unless that wasn't intended, she still looks great. One thing I might want to point out is the shadows, they make her look slightly too dark compared to that light background. Her colours go well against it but if you want a tip, if you use shadows as a different layer, set your 'Shadow' Layer to 'Multiply' and use a medium to light grey, when you go over the image, it automatically shades everything equally without having to change colours every so often. That's a technique I learnt by accident. Unless you do use that method, try a lighter tone.

In any case, I still love the image and seconding Shaz's comment, it's been ages since I saw anyone draw Danni, she's looking great as ever.

Danni is indeed a classic. I always remembered here as some sort of icon in Crash fandom.

Her head was intended to be larger so I'm glad I pulled that off. Good thing about Crash chars is that heads don't need to be correctly proportional. ^^ As for shadows I gues they're too dark cause they're on the same layer. I apply them to the same layer using a pinatbrush tool of a lighter opacity and then blend them together with gaussian blur. So I'll try that technique you told me about. Sounds good to me. Thanks.

Yeah she needs to be drawn more often. I'll probably draw her again sometime. ^_^ CC2 memories are indeed good ones.

DANNIIIII! Childhood heroine of somewhat! :3

Yeah, Shaz has got the nicest characters and stories... Long live the fastest Dingo alive!!! ^.^
I like the pose here, really shows her dynamicness, and I for some reason, also like the fact the picture's kept so small! :3

Nice one Chris! ^^

Oh I can't wait to create a childhood hero someday too. ^_^ As for the scale I agree. not only can it create more detail it's easier to create than making something bigger. Dingo is indeed very cool. ^^

Heheh it's been a while since someone drew Danni. I can't thank you enough for this Chris. ^^ I'm sorry I haven't been on many people's galleries for a while and I'm thankful you gave me a note.
Ah yes, the memories. It bloody well reminds me of all the left over pictures I had planned to draw. I won't even get started on the fiction works. ><
Regardless of that thank you Chris. You'll always be one of my most cherished friends, and yeah I agree with Wolfcub she looks grand in your style. That's Danni, whoopin arse alright!

It was an absolute pleasure hon. Danni is just your coolest character; I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Reliving fond memories by drawing her was jsut bliss. Danni does indeed kick ass. ^^ Who knows perhaps I'll draw more pics someday of your chars or concepts; brings back fond memories. And I still enjoy being your mate. ^^

I always have. Reminded me of the simplier, childlike days of my high school years; when I met all the lovely peeps at CC2 (that of course being you, Lioness, Rexy Stormy and so forth. ^^) so don't be suprised if suddenly I draw some older chars of my friends from days past soon

Also I must say I like her new change of clothes. Mind you it's about time she did have a change. Smelly girl.

Danni: Ay! 'Ow'd you like my boomerang in yer face?

Hrmmm, I remember her. Ahaha, don't know much about her, but apparently didn't she have some sorta connection with Dingodile in her stories?

That said, lovely picture. She's got the whole tough, go get 'em attitude.

shinragod In reply to neoyi [2006-10-16 17:25:43 +0000 UTC]

Yep. Danni had a relationship with a dingo named Cody, who later became Dingodile in the Evolvo Ray. Shaz had some nifty ideas. And thank yous. ^^
