Day one: Chakka Do

It's a dumb name for a character, but names don't really matter. This is the first finished character for my week-long jam project. The basic premise is that a Developer needs a minimum of five character designs for a fictional fighting game. Every day I'll be designing one character from pencils to finished colors for the game. In this case the game will be called "Ghetto Blastarr: Heavy beats from Hell!!" and will take place in an alternate universe version of the 1980s.

Those who have a keen sense of the 80s will probably notice that he's inspired by Shabba Doo, who is the effing master of popping and locking. I just spent most of the day researching Breaking and B-boy culture which meant searching through tons of webpages and looking at a metric butt tonne of footage from Breakin' and Breakin' 2....Electric Boogaloo. (god I love that title.)
