Name: Don Pinstripelli Potorotti (full name)
Species: Long-nosed Potoroo
Height: 1.78m (5.8 feet)
Weight: 70kg (154 lb)
Evolved by: Dr Neo Cortex & Dr Nitrus Brio
Cortex Vortexed? Yes
Intelligence level: Average

Pinstripe Potoroo was among some of the earliest of Dr Neo Cortex & Nitrus Brio's evolution experiments. He was placed in a containment part of the castle along with other early experiments such as Crunch, Tawna, Kris roo and Koala Kong. He started off as a "I'm too cool to hang out with you!" type of teenager in the group; but a few years later as an adult, he was turned into a trigger-happy, gun-loving gangster after being put through the Cortex Vortex; thus making him one of Cortex's most loyal and intelligent minions of his time. This change also caused him to grow a more humanoid appearance compared with other mutants.
Pinstripe was the godfather of the Potoroo mob, and was in charge of ensuring the Cortex Power Plant remained unharmed by any outsiders. He had many followers, such as Blaze, Siegdog, Favorani to name a few.

However, after losing a fight against Crash Bandicoot & failing to protect the reactor of Cortex Power, he sought revenge in the form of wooing Crash's love interest, Tawna Bandicoot. He had some feelings for her, but soon realized she was more trouble than she's worth. So they broke up just a few months afterwards. His loyalty to Dr Cortex was beginning to wear thin after he 'disappeared' into Space and thus Pinstripe turned to Dr Brio to 'force' him to create himself a gangster wife. Seeing as there were no female potoroos around to mingle with.

Although this idea backfires big time... and so the Potoroo's life begins to spiral downwards. Where did he go wrong?!

***

A fellow potoroo I haven't drawn since 2008. Man, so long ago!
I always did like Pinstripe though. He's a cool dude, one of my favourite villains from the first Crash game. Poor guy always gets mistaken as a rat though. He's a damn potoroo! XD which is a marsupial that looks a bit like a rat-kangaroo.
I kinda don't like the pose I did, but hey, I havent drawn him in years so I guess it's okay...

So yeah, gonna get back to sketching the next character, as well as the next commission. Woo!

MY FURRY HUSBAND.
haha jk...but DAMN.
I LOVE seeing these characters in your new style! esp. with the little additions to the design, such as the whisker pores and the fingerless gloves! AHHH YES you even drew him with the yellow- shit, I don't know what to call them,Β  flaps of his suit? close enough you'll know what I mean haha. Gosh you did a wicked job on that Tommy Gun too, you usually don't see too many put much effort into that! but looks great here, specifically the drum magazine

Haha thanks, much appreciated! XD yeah, I decided to add more detail to his design with my new art style. Since well, ever since moving onto R&C art when my style became a bit more detailed.
But yeah thanks though, I'm already looking forward to drawing the next CB character

I still remember FINDING about you by looking up Pinstripe fan art when I was 12!
Hell your old pic was even good back then, but totally awesome seeing a new one like...over a decade later haha.
Can't wait to see more! I want to draw more Crash art myself. I've only drawn Ripper Roo recently. Pinstripe is my fav but I'd like to try Kong sometime, I like his Crash Bash design...and the fact it sometimes has a glitch that makes hair tuft a tiny bit purple at the top!

Christ that's so long ago now.... I still laugh at my old drawings too. In fact, I have almost all of it archived on my website's gallery for kicks (even some early shit from 2002!)

I've started sketching Koala Kong (he looks pretty different, the face at least), and I've got others on mind to do as well. Even some 'new' characters I just felt like making to fill in some voids. Haha Crash Bash! Me, Ash and my cousins were playing that a few weeks ago. Was fun

Pinstripe looks really awesome!! I love the gloves you gave him. I really want Pinstripe to appear in future games if they ever make any more...There's tons of Crash characters that need to come back...But Pinstripe wields a gun, so he probably may be too "inappropriate" nowadays for children :-\ ...Bummer...

Well, I also love his expression too and how you drew his suit, great job!!

Ah yeah, Soccer mums might complain about that these days, although the Crash games did always have some mild themes to them. The earlier games anyway but yeah, a reboot based on the original games would be great... if it were to be done right that is!

Thanks again ^^

Fantasy-Fashionista In reply to Lurking-Leanne [2014-10-30 22:15:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... >.< But I still have hope for him and others returning...I mean, there's tons of rumors going around of Crash coming for PS4...You never know. I even heard ND/Sony might try to get him back...That would be awesome if they did. I'm not totally against the new games, but some of the redesigns sorta do bug me a bit now...But if it's a Crash game, I'll play it. I'm not a super Naughty Dog fanatic, but I do believe the original creators always did the best job though...I liked Traveler's Tales too, they shoulda stuck with Crash, but, oh well...

And you're welcome!

Gah! <3 Oh my gosh, I knew he would look greatΒ  in your style and I'm so pissed that they scrapped him. I mean, I would have liked to see more of him in Twinsanity but alas, we didn't. I just love love love how he looks in your style. Very beautiful work.

Yeah! It annoys me how he was neglected after CTR, he was awesome in that game! (his voice is so epic, as well as the attitude) but yeah, at least he did get a little scene in Twinsanity...

Anyways, thanks a lot ^^ just thinking about who I should revisit next. So many ideas!

He looks great, Tara! When I was a kid I always wondered what a Potoroo was, and Google wasn't very forth-coming about it. I also didn't know what a pinstripe was either!

Heheh well I didn't know what a bandicoot was neither as a child! But oddly enough, my mother told me! which is funny since most people I knew didn't know what a bandicoot was at all.
But yeah, when I was a kid I did end up looking up what potoroo's were in the library. Ah, the days before the internets thanks again!

I'm absolutely loving this! Good ol' Pinstripe never really got enough attention post-Naughty Dog. His expression pretty much sells him to me, here, giving the "tough guy" gangster act. Beautiful shading on his suit, I must say, as well as on his fur. Awesome stuff.
