Parappa the Rapper is back!

Man this model was a blast to make. Actually the first version was a complete mess and I scrapped the whole thing. Then my brother came through and drew me a proper character sheet. After that making the model went swimmingly. Thing he may have actually been one of the fastest completed models I've done.

I've long been disappointed in what Parappa models are out there. There's two types I've found. Completely 2D ones and chibi 3D ones heavily based on his official sprite. I just wanted a Parappa model with regular proportions that wouldn't look completely out of place with my models. I made this one with the "Sonic Boom" style in mind.

This version of Parappa is a bit older than in the games and how he appears in my AU. As he's older he's mellowed out a bit though still is just as vibrant and energetic as before. More on how he'll appear in my story later.

I don't think he has a canon hip hop taste established in any of the games. As such I've decided that these are two albums he would like. They're represented on his hoodie and skateboard. Do you know what those albums are?
