Starcade Chuck!!!

Decided to not only drop one art of my reimagining of Chuck E. Cheese, but two!

Starcade Chuck is the snazzy, charismatic, and talented rat who owns a big high-end restaurant, arcade, and event venue complex almost rivaling that of Vegas casinos. Despite coming from a well-off family and possessing an occasional streak of sass and jokes, deep down he has a kind and giving heart, especially to all his patrons. Besides being the owner of such an establishment, he is also a musician, gamer, and robotic engineer— all rolled up into one rodent!

Since my version of Chuck runs a huge arcade complex that’s meant for a slightly older demographic (tweens to adults; think something like Round1, Dave & Buster’s, etc mixed with the works of Meow Wolf), I drew him with some characters some people might recognize! Most are arcade game mascots (Derakkuma of maimai, Chuni Penguin of CHUNITHM, Ai-Ai of Super Monkey Ball, and Don-chan of Taiko no Tatsujin), along with Hatsune Miku and Cinnamoroll! They’re all characters one might find at an arcade, either being the face of a prominent arcade game or being a cute plush prize.

I was inspired by Tux Chuck, the overall retro neon aesthetic, my interest in video games and music one might find on a rhythm game, and my past experience going to one of those big neon-lit arcade places on a school field trip when designing him. I was also influenced by the fact a lot of Honey Girls fans also happen to be fans of Chuck, and the magic begun to sort of work on me so I couldn't help but make a design of him that's more adjacent to both the HG and my interests. He definitely looks like a character who would fit in their universe!

I gave him a giant hammer to also give him some video game character-like vibes, and also because I think it's a tad funny.
