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.

PLAY ME. PLAY ME. YOU TOTALLY WON'T GET THE COOTIES HEHE

My previous artwork— featuring the one and only Starcade Chuck E. Cheese— got really popular on Instagram, so I decided to make a bonus artwork with him! I’ve also experimented with a more dynamic pose for Chuck here.
