Nova Stormhttps://www.tumblr.com/straitjacketzz/710026461197877248/please-make-more-chibifurs I want to see "chibifur" take off as a term so I can actually find characters like these (and people who enjoy and make them) more easily
Austin Dern, Dean of Coatis@NovaSquirrel I would be happy to be a chibifur but I do need a _lot_ of nose.
scout@Austin_Dern @NovaSquirrel do you have a reference you especially like? that sounds fun to doodle if you wouldn't mind me doing so!
@scout @NovaSquirrel Would be most flattered if you found it fun! I think my not naturally chibi look is one of Akaji_Yui's pictures,
@Austin_Dern @NovaSquirrel here's some ideas i had! it'd be fun to tweak one to where you like it (or find a different idea!) and draw a colored version :3
@scout @NovaSquirrel Oh, goodness, those are all adorable!
The hand puppet is adorable and the pinball angel just brilliant. I think the hip-winged is the most chibi, though, the one most naturally in line with Nova's vibe.
@Austin_Dern @NovaSquirrel aww thanks, it was fun drawing 'em and i'm glad you like them! it's up to you which one you'd like a picture of, hehe!
@scout @NovaSquirrel You're being extraordinarily kind and generous with your time and energy!
At some point I'm going to have to commission you for the hand puppet because that's a great idea and design. I think pinball angel is excellent but for one of those big-reaction insert shots, something to break up a slower scene.
Hip wings, I think that's the way to go to establish a real chibi Austin. Especially as it lets the body length dominate the look, and make him engage the viewer at a non-biped angle.
@Austin_Dern @NovaSquirrel aw it's fun for me too, thanks for letting me play with your design! i don't really take commissions but i'd be happy to do an art trade or something! and i'll see about coloring you a hip-winged austin tomorrow (:
@scout @NovaSquirrel Aw, goodness. Well, thank you! I would be glad to try trading; I'm very slowly learning how to draw like I always wanted to.
