January Q. Irontail

Rankin Bass's fortified gothic badass bunny-rabbit of April Valley.

I love this guy. Voiced by Vincent Price, decks himself all in black, classy as hell, has a pet bat named Montresor (for those who don't know, that's the shared name of a character in a Edgar Allen Poe story), has a pet tarantula, has a liking for things Halloween, and he knows a little dark sorcery and science. Not to mention he has that tail. Wearing a prosthetic, iron tail—while may actually be a literal pain in the ass—is kinda hardcore. He has a legit backstory that definitely makes him the ideal character to fit Price's description of "besieged by fate and out for revenge." Irontail is probably the deepest, darkest character Rankin Bass has, and I seriously appreciate that.

So yeah, I drew him. I've been sketching him a lot since before Easter. I used to watch this movie all the time as a kid. We still have it, but I just looked it up on YouTube a while back, when Irontail popped into my head. He was my favorite character back then and still is.

Oh yeah, in case for those of you who didn't catch the April Fools joke, I'm still drawing normal art. Like hell I'd give this up.
