Description
Yup, I drew up Jazz Jackrabbit from the DOS game I only played like once. Dangit, I wish I could get back to playing that game, it was rather cool playing something that has really fast gameplay other than that prickly blue hedgehog.Anyways, I think I probably could have done without the prismacolors on this. However, in some areas it looks great (IE: the eyes, the gun [is it a gun?... seems like a small grenade launcher to me], and the bandana). I rather enjoyed working on this cause it brings back memories from the game... which are all making me miss it very much. *cries* I wanna play that game again ;-;...
Jazz Jackrabbit Β© Epic MegaGames, 1994 (I think that is when the game released)
Art Β© me (Shadou Kitsune; Jason B.)
Again... Scanners hate traditionally draw art >.> but this actually looks better at 76% original size.

Huh, well it's really great work, but I don't think it captures the feel they had for him.
He seemed more rough & ugly in most images, as if that was their intent. (i.e: gums visible)
As for playing them again, that's not a problem, though it's an old post so you probably
already found a way. Also I've heard the Epic games CEO's been twittering about Jazz recently.

Nice. I never really thought felt tip and pencil would work together, but I think it looks nice on this pic.
I haven't played the first one yet. I grew up with the second game.

Jazz 2 is indeed a great game. It would've been nice to see the 3rd installment release but sad it never did.
I thank you for the comment and the fav ^^

I found my Jazz games and I'm probably going to be tempted to draw another picture of him sometime when I'm bored enough to do so.
All-in-all... I believe Jazz games died off sooner than they should have.

That's indeed True! ^^
I'm still hoping that Epic will use their Unreal3 engine in order to create a new Jazz Jackrabbit game!
... well... one can only dream!

I love it!
Alongside of Sonic and Rayman, he's still an old favourite of mine. It's nice to get the older games out once in a while!

Jazz is one of my favorites along side of Sonic. When I first played the first Jazz game, it actually took my attention away from Sonic for the first time.
Thank you for your comment and the fav ^^

I suppose you've already stumbled accross Jazz 2 online [link]
Its a jazz jackrabbit fansite & they've got all the info you ever dared want to know about Jazz Jackrabbit.
Oh yeah, and you can get two different versions of Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare for free. There was one made in '95 aaaaand I think one in '94.... or was that '96? I can't remember So those two are freeware. One episode each.
There is also a Jazz Jackrabbit for GBA. Though they messed it up because they tried to re-envision Jazz and basically made it, uhm, not Jazz anymore.
Then there's editions of JJ2 up the wazoo. JJ2, JJ2: The Secret Files (new playable character and episode), JJ2: Holiday Hare '98, and JJ2: The Christmas Chronicles (which is just HH98, The Secret Files edition)
JJ3 was never released (never found a publisher 
JJ on ebay
[link]
On Epic Classics

I have seen that site before though I never really bothered with it. Though I do have Jazz 1 through Jazz 2 Holiday.
I may bookmark the page so I can go back to it for later reference. Thank you for the information ^^

I actually have gotten the opprotunity to get back to Jazz Jackrabbit (many thanks to ~tommychan , IE the person who had done the previous comment). Now I don't miss Jazz (and Spazz from Jazz 2) that much anymore XD
Thank you very much for the fav and the comment ^^

jazz! i remember playing 1 and 2 and the holiday version 
soo smooth and quick, and nice variety of weapons to play with. fav was the bouncy blue bomb thingies that look like blue pills...forgot if that was in 1 or 2. >_>;
yea, and agree he does look like bucky o' hare, besides the obvious green simillairitieisiitssi....however you speel it... ><;;
they should have made a jazz jackrabbit cartoon series. i think it would be as popular as sonic...
ah yea, great work on the piccy! wow lotsa hours on it o.o;

I played the game like once, and I never got to play it again after that. Darn Windows XP for not allowing DOS programs to work very easily x.x or not at all ;-;
π: 0 β©: 1
hm...did you get the note i sent you?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I did I had that program beofre but I had no knowledge of DOS at that time... now I think I might be able to work it though not sure how it'll work on Windows XP
π: 0 β©: 1
it's just like an emulator. its a winXP program that emulates a dos environment, so it runs just like if you had a real computer with dos in it
just make sure you type those commands in the note correctly, and it should work.

I played only a demo of Jazz 2. This really looks like him too!
π: 0 β©: 1
I've never played Jazz 2 (is that the 3D one? if it is I most likely didn't like it enough to try it *prefers 2D side-scrolling games*).
It was hard to try to get it look like him because I couldn't find any good pictures of him. The ones I had to go off of for his appearance wasn't real good (plus they were really small). This happened to be almost one full sheet of paper (roughly 8 by 10 inches).
Thank you ^^

There was supposed to be a 3d one of this game but it was never made.

Wow, I really like your coloring in this! It stands out a lot
π: 0 β©: 1
heh Thanks Lenore ^^ I'm practicing more since I'm starting to get more materials for traditional art that I know how to work with such as coloring pencils, ink pens, etc. The pencils and paper I need not worrk about since I have those in surplus amounts
I do see what you mean though... I'm still working on my drawings to be a little more... accuratly in depicting better anatomy. It's not always successful, but I still have the room to improve on it when I get the opprotunity to do so.
You may try my recent submission if you haven't already looked at it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I can see that you've been practicing, and you're doing a great job! Just keep at it and you'll have virtually flawless anatomy skills

Hey Shadou, i found a link with some cool jazz stuff that you might want to check out! I found a shareware demo of JJ1 that works (if a little slow and sticky at times, but that's only my comp lol). Here's the link: Jazz Jackrabbit HQ
π: 0 β©: 2
don't worry, it's not any of those 30-day trials. The only limitation is that you can only do the first chapter...
π: 0 β©: 0
I may try it, though I am kind of picky when it comes to games... i don't really like demos or shareware stuff... just cause it leaves me wanting it more when i can't use it anymore... same forthe goes for free trials...
π: 0 β©: 0
I think that is a 286... that's not compatible with Jazz... If you have better machine, then you can play!

Ahhh one of my most fav games!!! Good thing i have collected older PCs, so i can play it whenever i want!
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww... dang, you're making me jealous
π: 0 β©: 0
WOW! Thats very very good Shadou! ^^ your getting better in your style, i really like the use of posture and angle viewing
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm certainly improving, but I still have a long way to go to catch up with the skill of my other friends.
Thank you very much for the comment Jonny

Hee hee, nice. Reminds me a little of a cartoon with a character called bucky 'o hare or something. God that was years ago....
π: 0 β©: 1
Ironically, that is how I was reminded of Jazz. I actually searched through google image search with Bucky O'Hare, and in one of the results had a fanart picture of both Bucky and Jazz. So ever since then I haven't gotten Jazz off my mind cause I liked the original game so much.

Duuuude.... I remember that game!
Love the expression.

Voy a tratar de mejorar el color que hago a mano. Esto era un poco mejor que mis anteriores que yo habΓa coloreado a mano. Como yo habΓa dicho en la descripciΓ³n, podrΓa haber mirado un poco mejor si yo no hubiera usado los marcadores de Prismacolor (Prismacolor markers).
Gracias mi amigo =3

Haven't heard of this character thought or the game
π: 0 β©: 1
Might be because he's kind of an old character, not as old as Sonic though.
Thank you for your comment

I've so wanted to play that, but it keeps causing some error when i start it up.
π: 0 β©: 2
same thing here. I've got a disc that has a variety of shareware games and stuff, and JJ appeared on it, and i really liked the look of it. I hear Jazz is in a game for the GBA (at least i think he is)
π: 0 β©: 1
yea, he is. I actually have it... but it's nothing like the original
π: 0 β©: 0
I get an error because the game isn't compatable with Windows XP... damn compatability issues ><;
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow, I remember this guy
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm... how long it took me... around 3 hours on the line work, 1 hour on inking it, and about 2 hours 30 minutes on coloring. Yea I guess it did take me a while.
Thank you much Jaffy
