Ye ol' Balls

A long promised character portrait for
vixyyfox , who writes the "Dread Tabor" saga, and if this would not be enough, Vixyy is also a marvelous poet.
Balls is one of the main characters, an old hare who has seen quite a lot of the globe, experienced and, to be honest, a bit spent.
If I am not mistaken, he lost his balls somewhere and is called Balls right because of that, but I am not sure. maybe Vixyy is so kind to post a short biography here as a comment.
.....
This is my second rabbit I ever draw. I had to use references, because as a city guy I hardly see a rabbit who still got his head and fur. I noticed that rabbits do hardly have a neck at all, and tried to keep this here. he looks a bit bullish right now, he should be leaner, but in early sketches he looked like this: http://theblackdrac.deviantart.com/.....BBIT-119752297 , so I decided to keep him like he is now! XD
Hope you like it,
vixyyfox, and he looks at least a bit like you imagined him...

Nice pencil drawing mister !
Balls is a character who emerged later in the story, and one would thing he is simply an old hand on the ship... (I shall leave revelations for the reading).
He did indeed loose his manhood during a boarding when he swung over on a line and right into the barrel of a swivel - which just happened to go off.
He is crotchety, likes his rum, and has a sense of honor that has him stand up for what he believe in the face of death.
I truly love him....
