The original concept for ratchet and clank series came out from Spyro: Year Of The Dragon and looking and spending a year developing another game called ”I-5 or girl with a stick” and its demise, that left them with a few months, to present a new concept on a game in an alien galaxy which featured lots of gadgets, developing the whole world, animation , sounds characters, Dave Guertin created these early sketches of the heroes. The idea for ratchet was to create a spunky alien with gauntlet. A reptilian body gave him a relation to something earthly, the body eventually changed from reptilian to a cat, to show a diversity of ideas.
