YA Chibi-fied (2)

[banner to come]

Where I take YA -- and chibi-fy it (with a 2B mechanical pencil)! ;)

Chibi (ちび): n. This is a drawing style where anime/manga characters are shrunk into a small, cute, child-like form. This drawing style is sometimes called 'super-deformed' in the west and is pronounced 'chee-be'. [animetion.co.uk]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's chibi-fied character isn't exactly found in YA books, but she is found in well-known manga and anime. So, Aly (@ Fantasy4eva), this one's for you:

It's Sailor Moon! I kept on wavering between different Sailor Moon forms (my reaction: there are various forms?!), so it might be a bit of a mish-mash between them. Hopefully her hairstyle and outfit still make her recognizable though. :)

Next week, I'll be trying my hand at Harry Potter characters, as per request. I swear I'll make Voldemort cute! Somehow. Check back in a week. ;)

Is there anyone you would like to see chibi-fied? Leave a comment with the book or characters!

I'm also thinking whether I should make a linky where you can put the character/book you'd like to see chibi-fied in the name field and a link to your blog in the URL field, so it's still a chance to network. Or are you embarrassed to say who you'd like to see chibi-fied? Because I can make an anonymous box as well. I'd love to know your thoughts!

edit// I think the name's going to stay YA Chibi-fied... but with brief interludes of regular anime-style drawings. xD

Yay, glad you like it. And, hm, it's hard to say since I was mostly double-tasking when drawing this. If I concentrated... maybe half-an-hour? An hour?

Yay Sailor Moon! So cute!

Lol, I'll be excited to see Voldemort next week. And as for a request, I'd love to see Rose or any of the characters from the Vampire Academy series :D

Ohh, great idea! I think I need to start making a request list for these chibis, hehe. I'll definitely do Rose after Voldy. :)

Voldemort cute? This I have to see. Ooh, draw Hermione with Crookshanks! (I hope I spelled his name right) o.o

AND AND I KNOW! For YA, you should try to draw Rhine from WITHER & Deuce and Fade from ENCLAVE and Jace from SPLIT...and... SOULLESS isn't YA but drawing the main character from it with her parasol would be a lot of fun, yeah? ;)

Oh and um... if you could draw Shakira as a chibi, I'd be so impressed. (I freely admit my obsession with her--I honestly can't explain it) I think that's enough suggestions from me. XD

:o I LOVE CROOKSHANKS (and, yep, you got it. :))! I'll draw him next week, along with Hermoine if I find the time.

Cool ideas! I don't think I'll do Rhine because I can't really imagine her that well, but Deuce and Fade are definitely possible... and Alexia with her kickass parasol, definitely do-able.

LOL, I'll try Shakira sometime, just for you. :3
