I have a long history of shying away from male rabbits, because they honestly have never worked well in my style. Beefcake bunnies are especially prone to fail. To me they're best drawn as little harmless things. Those of you familiar with i.s.o. may remember Doug's friend Robbie, a chiseled personal trainer who was my attempt to futz with lapine design possibilities...but even he was still pretty compact.

Last year I semi-surprised  kevbot with an attempt to design him an avatar with some input from him and his buddies. The result was agreed to be cute but it never felt quite right.
This year he's been pushing his interest in rabbit furs more, and honestly a rabbit seemed to be a really good personal fit to him. As another (LATE x.x) birthday gift I thought I'd revisit the concept, who is now officially named Jerry Rigg (this is a guy who likes steampunk....suppress the groans, please!) But since Kev's a sexy bastard and beefy and goateed and all, I had to somehow make a suitably masculine bunny. Kev does often favor chubby characters, so I think making a bunny husky rather than ripped retains its cute, cuddly aspects better. So, this is a redesign and we all agree it's totes him. Totes, folks.
I had to play around with a color scheme...we'd considered a pale yellow cuz pure white just wasn't working, but then it was too Rabbit (Winnie the Pooh's buddy)-ish. The beige seemed to be a good compromise.

And continuing to play around with our respective interests in cartoon characters, I wanted to have him interacting with a few of our mutual crushes. So here's Pete, in his Goof Troop iteration, since I thought a used-car salesman would try to get chummy. Though it varies how solid and threatening Pete can be over the years, he's always all kinds of sexy, usually cuz of that big voice. Then there's Launchpad McQuack (his larger Darkwing Duck incarnation trumping the DuckTales design), while admittedly a bit overlooked lately, even Kev and I note we're not usually into avian sorts. But he just works. I guess LP crash-landed again, but no jokes about who's on top, mkay?
