May the Fourth Be With You (belated)...

 May the Fourth Be With You


It's my (belated) "May the Fourth Be With You" post starring Jaxxon, everyone's favorite giant, green space-rabbit based on Bugs Bunny who first appeared in the Marvel Comics "Star Wars" run.  Better late than never, I always say!  Once again, I will engage in my Quixotic quest to bring Jaxxon to the masses!  OK, sure, he's already making a comeback, appearing in "Star Wars Adventures", but that's besides the point.

Like Jaxxon, I'm sure I should get some sort of medal for that happening... 😉

Holy cow, I just realized I've been beating this joke into the ground for the past 8 years already.  Well, here's to 8 more years, I guess?

STEP ONE:  Here are the loosely scrawled digital pencils, done on a 2,000px x 3,000px canvas @ 300dpi.  I was still trying to figure out what to call this Two-Page comic when I pencilled it, as well as the writing in the last panel.  I knew it would involve him stealing... er "borrowing" the medal from some dumb Wookie.

STEP TWO:  And the digital inks and lettering.  I did do some minor cheating with tracing rendered models of Tie Fighters/X-Wing/Millennium Falcon.  Obviously, I just freehanded Jaxxon's ship, given the shoddy nature of that drawing. 😁

STEP THREE:  Finally, all the color on top.
