May the Fourth be With You 2024 (Belated)

May the Fourth be With You 2024
(Belated)

Greetings!  It's my (belated) "May the Fourth Be With You"/"Revenge of the Fifth"/"Revenge of the Sixth" post featuring Darth Jaxxon.

Once again I must point out "May the Fourth Be With You" is such a bad pun I'm disappointed in myself for not doing it first.  Also, there seems to have been a shift this year to saying "Revenge of the Fifth", rather than using "Revenge of the Sixth".  Either one works well, and I also swing back-and-forth between which one I prefer.

To re-explain everything about Jaxxon (and to copy-and-paste this part from last year's Blog), he's part of my continuing--although not as Quixotic as it used to be--quest to make Jaxxon, the "Star Wars" version of a green Bugs Bunny, into something vaguely popular.  Jaxxon started in the Marvel Comics "Star Wars" #8, taking place after "A New Hope", in a pastiche of "7 Samurai"/"Magnificent 7" and...  And it's a long story.  He's a 6' tall, green rabbit which was loosely based on Bugs Bunny, that was in "Star Wars" comics.  Now he's appeared in comics (sure, the "Star Wars: Adventures" line, but I'll take it as a win and say he's officially canon, now), and apparently even has a Black Series action figure.  He also is the star of the "Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories" one-shot with Dark Horse Comics this year (with an awesome Mike Mignola cover).  So, shall I declare myself the winner and say I'm done?  Heck no, time to double down and keep this train going!

Happy (belated) May the Fourth/Revenge of the Fifth/Revenge of the Sixth!

STEP ONE:  Here is the quickly scribbled, digital pencils and the color flat laid down.

STEP TWO:  Jaxxon's face is mostly finished and the armor is more fully sketched out.

STEP THREE:  And here's the finished picture of Darth Jaxxon.  I added red highlights for the lightsaber, finished the armor, some tattoos, and other bits and bobs.
