Cute picture
This was funny, and the first book was really good!
OMG that drawing is unbelievably cute! Squeeee!
Indeed! That pic is adorable. I want to huggle them all! <3
Thanks, guys! My artist jokes that every time she draws Silveo’s tail, it gets fluffier. She really let it out of the bag in this chibi.
What, exactly, does “chibi” mean? I have to ask, since I’m A Man, and all my time is filled with watching football, drinking beer, working on cars, and . . . scratching.
Ah, right… It’s not your Y chromosome that’s standing in your way, Rish, but your manga-deficit.
Chibis are stylized drawings of characters, often thrown into the margins of comics to depict silliness. They appear among more serious drawings to represent extremes of emotion or to lighten the mood. Chibis typically have little or no nose, huge eyes, simplified hands and feet, and exaggerated proportions. They are a type of characiture, but instead of mocking the subject, they’re usually intended to make the subject absurdly cute.
