<blockquote><p>There&#8217;s someone on my blog who goes by Araceli &#8220;Kahn&#8221; Pereira. She&#8217;s a talented artist who came up with her own character called Ara Bandicoot. Ara plays with dynamite and she has a big crush on Crash.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a <a href="http://crash-x-ara-bandicoot.blogspot.com/">link to her blog</a>.</p>
<p>I was asked to draw her character in my style. The look she established is very good. I could get into it easily and do my thing. Took it through the blue pencil phase.</p>
<p>So here ya go and thank you kindly for being a follower of my blog!</p></blockquote>
<p>Also, check out his brand-new <a href="https://twitter.com/zembillas"><strong>Twitter profile</strong></a>! (<a href="http://zembillas.blogspot.com/2019/09/im-on-twitter.html">Blog post</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>Lately people have been encouraging me to go to Twitter and open an account. I registered years ago in 2009 and left my account dormant. Over the past few months friends have really been getting on my case about launching it. So I started by developing some art dedicated to a Twitter theme.</p>
<p>A little while ago I drew some sketches of Coco Bandicoot. One in particular featured her with Crash. I thought that version of Crash would work well for what I had in mind and created a graphic for Twitter from it. Then I modified the image for header art on Twitter.</p>
<p>Late in the evening on Sept 11 the account went live. I though I&#8217;d get maybe 20 or 30 followers by the next day. Boy was I wrong.</p>
<p>Currently a little more than 24 hours later my follower count is at 1769 as of this writing..</p>
<p>Additionally I have 107 comments that need attending.</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;ve got my work cut out for me! Anyway my longstanding Blogger community is great and I will continue to interact here. If you&#8217;re on Twitter and you&#8217;d like to follow me there you&#8217;re welcome to do so if you like.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/zembillas">Here&#8217;s the link</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the Twitter art I did. Thanks everyone! I&#8217;m a lucky person to have the attention of many wonderful people!</p></blockquote>
