Fun Fact: Rawk Hawks' Spanish Version name is Hawk Hogan.
Gee, I wonder why.

Yeah! That's pretty great. Although I'm glad the English name makes him more of his own character and less of a parody. His German name is "Aurelius" which just means "the golden one" in Latin and I think that really fits him but gives him a different aura...
I like Rawk Hawk a lot .___.

Ha ha I love the dramatic pose here. You've always done the best Rawk Hawk fanart, and this is no exception.

I loved this guy on my first playthrough just for his sheer jerkability and design (I love the versatility of the Mario series that a big giant chicken can just show up out of nowhere and it completely fits), but the second and later playthroughs made me almost pity the guy. Can you imagine the lies that Grubba fed him for all these years?
...was...was Grubba doing the power equivalent of fattening him up so that he created the most powerful fighter imaginable and therefore get the biggest of power boosts when he finally sucked up his life force?
Such an improvement over the previous pictures you did of this guy. I really like how warm the color palette is and how happy he is to be holding that champion's belt.
But mostly I'm proud that you kept his proportions intact. I'm really digging his shrimpy little chicken legs. So great to see the Paper Mario games get more recognition.

Thanks much, Turq!
Yeah, like I discussed in that tumblr post, I'm interested in the relationship between him and Grubba. I know Grubs was totally manipulating Rawk because he had the type of personality and style to draw in the crowds and the money. But for some reason the "fattening up" thing never occurred to me. That is... horrifying but probably spot on. This chapter is all kinds of bright fun and dark surprises at the same time, that's why I love it.
I'm happy with where my coloring has been going so lately. A lot of my older stuff could get kind of muddy, but I didn't even realize at the time that it could've been better. I've also been coloring some things with Manga Studio, which can be fun because it's easy to blend colors, although it also takes caution and I'm still getting used to it.
Yeh. I try to keep faithful to his design, in a non-paper style, but I *do* neglect his shoes. Because I like birdfeet and if I had talons, I would totally use them in the ring...

The fattening him up thing gets even more disturbing considering Rawk Hawk is essentially a giant chicken and Grubba speaks in a Southern accent.
Grubba: I feel like chicken tonight!
I...really need more stuff with Grubbs and Rawk now, because I just really like the concept of Rawk Hawk gradually being manipulated into what he is today by someone he thought he was his mentor and Grubba just being such a monster in filling his mind with lies. Unless Grubba actually did like Rawk Hawk like his own son, which is why it was going to break his heart when he was going to drain out his life force. Such a pity that.
I love Grubbs the way I like Blubbs. They're both kind of disturbing villains, but they're disturbing in completely different ways. Ironically it's Grubba that's the heartless one, not the actual guy without a heart.

Every drawing you make of him keeps getting better and better!
This totally makes me want to play the game again!

So awesome! Had he not been a total blowhard, Rawk could have been my favorite Thousand-Year Door character.

Yeah, he is all kinds of jerk, but he is my favorite anyway

Your improvement blows my mind. Or, Rawks it, to be more fitting. xD
The coloring style is gorgeous, and the details on his claws really pop. Wonderful job!

Silly hawk, holding his belt up like that. How's he gonna keep his speedo up without it? ;3
Great work, Fluffy, as always!

Again- "most" people- I recall that Rawk has a harder time keeping his speedo on (for various reasons) than most people. It tends to just... disappear when certain people are around. Certain... 'fluffy' people.
