Description
In order to motivate myself to do more art on here and just for fun, I'm going to do a theme month.Welcome to March of the Mascots! Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, there were dozens of video game companies that tried to make a "totally rad dude with 'tude" type character to market to the impressionable youth of the time. Some are still known and loved today. Others are hated or long forgotten. Regardless, I'm here to pay them tribute. Every day this month I will be posting a drawing of a video game mascot of yesteryear.
Here's a fairly well remembered character. Jazz Jackrabbit was a series of DOS that started in 1994. The game is has some obvious Sonic inspired elements, but also has elements of games like Mario, Contra, Earthworm Jim, etc. In a way, its barrowing from so many different games actually results in it being a unique experience.

Heh, heh... certainly looks a regular Bugsy Malone with that smoking gun and the carrot "cigar"
But then, a carrot is a healthier option than a cigar for chomping on...
Love the colouring and the pose and expression!
Though I always kind of figured it's just as well he has such bushy under-fur hanging down when he stands like that with no pants on...

Yay! I remember this rabbit!
Have forgotten most of the game thought. Hrm. Seems like it had good music. Oh and didn't the recoil form the gun throw you backwards sometimes, often resulting in your untimely demise? ...no wonder I wanted to forget that...
Thanks anyway for this blast from the past!

We have never heard from Jazz and his comrades for years.
