@JellyRabbit is an artist that draws anime, video game characters, their own original characters, and also what inspires them from their dreams! Speaking of dreams, this interview has transitioned from just a dream to reality! Let's read it now!
What exactly is a "Jelly rabbit"? A rabbit made of jelly? Who're you?
"Yes! I am a rabbit made of gelatin. Currently lime flavored."

Quite the gallery you have here! What would you say inspires you?
"I have a lot of insane, wacky dreams so I often pull ideas from them. Videogames and other artist’s work inspire me too."

When did you discover Colors Live? What made you join the community?
"I joined back in early 2018 I think. One of my friends introduced me to Colors! She does not post here anymore, but I have fond memories of drawing with her back then."
You have a lot of cool fan characters! How do you come up with them?
"Like I said, mostly dreams."
Nice to see some Splatoon fanarts! Is it your favorite Nintendo franchise? What gear do you main?
"Splatoon is one of my favorite games! Definitely my favorite Nintendo franchise. I main the Eliter4k and occasionally the Splattershot Jr."

We see that you do most of your art in Colors 3D! Is Colors the main way you make art? If not, what do you use and how does colors compliment your workflow? Are there any features in Colors you want to see?
"I also use Clip Studio to make art, but something about having so many options is stressful. I use Colors when I want to chill out. I can’t speak for the Switch users, but I love how restrictive the 3DS version is. Keep it as it is!!"
Colors artwork you're the most proud of ?
"My first successful shot at “painting.” I like the angle I chose to draw him in." 2D by JellyRabbit
Favorite Colors artist? Favorite off Colors? commission! by highwaystar!
"They are inactive now, but I can’t stop going back and looking at their pieces. Their gallery kindof constantly lurks in the back of my mind. Something about the softness of the lineart and nicecolor combos, I think."
Off Colors (I can’t choose one) (both Splatoon artists lol)
cuttleling: https://instagram.com/cuttleling/ Wonderful character design and color usage. Most of the art they do is posted on stories. jellukuma: https://instagram.com/jellukuma/ Beautiful composition! I am way too invested in their characters.
You're really good at perspective! What advice would you give to others? Any art advice you have in general?
"Thanks!! I think my perspective still needs some work, but I like to play around with it. My advice for both perspective and anything else would be to take or find reference photos! Take time to study the basics, experiment, and practice practice practice."

Top 3 favorite Colors artworks?
I have this taped to the door at my mom’s house. woah by SansUndertale
Very masterful rendering; the blue backlight looks so real. Chimecho is one of my favorite pokemon, so extra points for that.
So so cute. I like Slime Rancher too. It’s neat that the colors are a little muted. Keeps my
Do you have any goals or plans for the future?
"I’m currently studying computer science and commercial art so hopefully I can do a mixture of those two things in the future. Like making websites or videogames or something. I want to do something I love."
Grape jelly or strawberry?
"STRAWBERRY OFC!""
Anyone you want to shout-out here in or outside the gallery?
"My dear friend Gloomy posts here on Colors and on Instagram! His handle is @GloomLimbo. He’s got some really insan pieces over there."
"Also, I have even more artworks on insta so go check that out if you’re interested!"
