So its about Time to do another redesign project. Hehe its about Time, see what I did there? So yes its a redesign project for Crash Bandicoot, I juuuuust love that Game. That is my kind of Hero, dumb as bread and not even aware hes being a Hero because its just fun to kick some Evil Doctors Butt... and because hes after some Booty, come on that was the Plot of the First game. So anyway this project started out as a simple redesign because I intend to build all the masks, as you can see in „The Forge“ Folder of my DA Gallery, I already have build Aku Aku and Uka Uka and I intend to complete my collection. But some of the Masks are just... ugly, I mean The Wrath of Cortex mask design was so bland, uninspiring, boring and just ugly. So I just had to completely redesign the Elementals so they're worth building. And then I though, a heck why dont I just put them in my Gallery too? And while Im uploading teh Masks, maybe if you like and comment (seriously I love comments) I might add even more redesigns like uhm what if Crash changed Costumes while traveling through Time in Crash Bandicoot Warped, so maybe I could draw a prehistoric Cave Bandicoot, a Medieval Crash Knight or a Scifi Crash Space Warrior. You get my drift? Or just me drawing the characters in my style. You tell me what you would like to see. Also you may see I experimented with a new coloration and some textures. Tell me if you like it. So lets get started...

So here we have the main Mask himself, the OG protector of N Sanity, the great Witch doctor and Mentor to a bunch of genetic Mutants, Aku Aku! Now don't expect me to … why are you looking at me like that? Stop that... no... please don't... oh come on... drawing is fun, writing is hard, especially its a added headcanon to a already existing canon. And you know the Plot of Crash 4 right? With different Games all being canon but being different Dimensions of the same characters, its hard to... oh FINE You Win... Ill try to create new added Backstories to the Drawings. You Happy? Yeah wipe those smug grins of your faces. OK gimme a moment, oh and just for that your only getting one Mask per day *sticks out his tongue* …

Hundreds of years ago the Islands of N Sani were Home to a peaceful tribe. They did not care about the world beyond the great wide Blue, they had no need for that knowledge, they had all they needed and ever wanted. They were in tune with the Spirits of Nature, especially thir Leader, the great and wise Witch Doctor Akuka. He communicated with the Spirits and Gods of Nature in every great temple upon the different Islands that made up N Sani, so he knew what they wanted, needed and were willing to give to make the Tribe prosper And for decades it worked just fine.

But eventually his Brother Ukaku, the Leader of the Tribes Warriors, grew restless, they had no enemies, they had no wants and no needs, being a warrior without something to fight against or for was useless. He yearned for a reason, he desired a goal, he needed to be needed like his Brother, so he prayed to the Gods and as if his prayers were answered, a hole in the sky opened up and objects fell from the sky in a great explosion, Metal and foreign objects the Tribe had never seen, sparkling Stones and most of all Crystals, great big Purple Crystals that held great spiritual energy. The Gods in their temples absorbed the energy and grew more Powerful, soon they had no need of the Tribe anymore as long as they had crystals, so why would they make their serving Spirits give those pitiful Humans what they needed?

Akuka tried to calm his people and promised the Gods were just drunk on Power and would return to their true selves sooner or later. But they did not, as time passed the Tribe was soon running thin on food and clear water, the God of the Rivers didn't make the Waters flow, the God of earth did not make the Fruit grow, the God of Wind did not spread pollen and seeds across the Islands and without the aid of the God of Fire the Tribe was soon cold and lost in the Dark. Finally the Warrior was approached by the Tribe, Akukas methods did not work, they now needed a warrior to Force the Gods to obey!

As Much as he loved hearing that he knew he would not be able to make them Listen without the aid of his Brother. And with a saddened heart Akuka had to agree so he turned to ancient magic and created four vessels which would imprison the Gods in order to use their power and Force the Spirits to obey and serve them. They were successful and the Gods of the Four Elements were captured and imprisoned in four Masks. Once anyone wore any of the Maks the according Spirits were theirs to command and soon the two Brothers returned balance to the Islands of N Sani and prosperity to their Tribe.

But as he wore the Masks the Warrior felt he too could tap into the spiritual energy of the Crystals and he was given Visions of the Future, Visions of a weak and dumb Foe which he struck down with his own Godlike Power! Power he soon craved. So he made his warriors collect the Crystals and bathed in their energy, and with so many Crystals in one spot he even felt their power as he wore no Mask, but to hide that secret he made another mask in his own Image and wore it as a symbol of Power. Maddened by Power the warrior decided the Tribe was chosen by the Gods, they had the Power to enslave them and with their might they could traverse the great blue and find new lands beyond, lands they could conquer and rule with their might. The Tribe was easily turned but not Akuka. He pleaded with his Brother but he would not listen, he was corrupted by Power and madness.

So Akuka only saw one way to stop his Brother, he too ahd to be imprisoned. So as the warrior prepared his warriors to set sail into the Unknown Akuka used the same Ritual that Imprisoned the Gods and the Power of the Sparkling Stones he then called Gems to Imprison his Brother, the Corrupted Soul of the warrior was dragged form his body and pulled into the Mask. But with all the Power he had absorbed from the Crystals already he was not Bound to a host, he was still his own Master, able to speak, to move freely and to still fight back and he named himself Uka Uka. Akuka saw that he failed but still he could not just let his brother do as he pleased, especially now that he was an immortal Masks that could spread his madness for eternity. So Akuka saw only one way, he had to become like his Brother in order to seal him into his own temple and watch over him fo the rest of Time. Again he summoned the Power of the Gems and infused himself with it in order to create his own Mask and posessed it with his own Power and Soul, creating the eternal Guardian Aku Aku.

The Warrior was surprised by his Brothers sacrifice, this was the edge Aku Aku needed. He managed to seal the warrior into his Temple. Aku Aklu was then able to make the Tribe forget the insane Plans of conquest his Brother had filled their heads with. They chose a new Chief and Aku Aku spend the coming decades with hiding the Crystals and Gems so their power would never be abused again and to watch over the Temples of the Elemental Gods masks and especially of the warrior. As the years passed this tragic Chapter of the Tribe was forgotten and Aku Aku lived in Hiding, waiting and protecting his Home, his People and the World, for he knew when his Brother would return he would not stop until he ruled over all. This is the Tale of the Mask Aku Aku, protector of N Sani.
