Inktober Day 11 with the eleventh prompt Wander.
And once again fulfilling yet another entry for my Year of the Rabbit project. The previous character was Mr. Whiskers.
This entry is a far more skilled, disciplined and needless to say more intelligent rabbit character. It is the wandering ronin Miyamoto Usagi from Usagi Yojimbo.
And one of those little dinosaurish lizards known as Tokage accompanying him.
Id be lying if I know the full story about this rabbit ronin. I only know him from a few volumes I read and few appearances on Ninja Turtles. But what little I do know I am intrigued by. The art style and the character designs are still nothing short of inspiring. Its clear amidst the seriousness there's also room for levity in a world of anthropomorphic samurais, ninjas and other deadly opponents. Lord knows I've done some experimenting with that with Rioichi Cooper in a whole nother series that could easily fit in Usagi Yojimbo's world. (I think they actually did reference him once...)
This is just a black and white ink of Miyamoto looking to continue his path of the warrior. It's certainly led him on a lot of great adventures I know that much! ;D This whole Inktober and Year of the Rabbit project is an adventure in itself Ive embarked on as well.
