Rattlesnake Jake, Humanized
🕑 Added 2022-05-24 11:56:18 +0000 UTCRango is one of my favorite films ever, and Rattlesnake Jake is one of my favorite fictional snakes. His design is awesome, especially his gun-rattle; his demeanor is theatrical yet his “grim reaper“ reputation is well earned from the very real threat he poses, and his confidence is so great he not only goads Rango into shooting him point blank, he hands him the gun and aims it at his own head, knowing full well he won’t do it. Yet in spite of his villainous personality, Jake still has some principles, chastising Rango’s cowardice and respecting his bravery later.
In designing human Rattlesnake Jake I went for a more stylized design to try and emulate his presence in the film, always looming over others and dominating every shot he’s in, so I gave him long hair and a full length leather duster along with his iconic bandoliers. Probably not the most comfortable thing to wear in the desert but it gives him some extra snakelike swishiness as well as adds to his Grim Reaper persona. Humanized Rango and Beans there were sort of last minute designs, but as far as Rango goes, I tried to model him somewhat off of Victor Van Dort from Corpse Bride, another voice acting role of Johnny Depp’s.
