OK .. IM SO SO SORRY I'm dONE WITH MY PRESENTATION AND IM FINALLY PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT THESE BEAUTIES???? I think I've yelld at yo u about the sumner already but .. but just for public record. Your understanding of the cute chibi form/proportions is so so perfect and innate - the shape of her back and how you chose to keep certain detail like the really soft bumps of the back legs in but omit the shoulder and show the leg in front like that is REALLY really really nice stylistic choices .. it really .. is so simple but shows so much understanding of .. "chibi principles" i guess with the perspective. And please .. don't talk to me about her face, you did so ..so so so good samooraii ... I absolutely. Love how you have the eye "plane" lined up with the rest of the face, giving it like..a cute paper cut-out look AND 3D form at the same time?? And how that works really well with the lack of exposition lines on the face that a) keep it simple and chibi and b) MAKE THE FORM OF THE MUZZLE IMPLICIT, which is LITERALLY THE BEst eye candy and if you can show form without millions of lines and keep everything lined up perfectly then that is literally like the best thing in the world and also goes hand-in-hand with perfect chibi styles, WHICH YOU HAVE. Not only that but CHIBI HEADS ARE SO HARD TO BALANCE OUt and you managed to make sumner's eye(s?) so big and radiant like little suns and keep the nose/mouth so petite and stupidly cute and it's perfect. You've even managed to strike the perfect, most natural roundness to the face that really helps emphasize the presence of the 'invisible' features and lets our brains fill the rest in and dghfj gvug od it's so perfect it's SO PERFECT. DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT THE HAIR, You have a fantastic grasp of hair clump volume and direction and ... also where you lined up the parting at the back of her hair, this is a really weird point but having it where it is, lining up with the inner corner of her right eye, there's more of that super-implicit form there without the lines being drawn in for us and it really helps. Just keep the head so stable and well-formed, I'm so sorry there's no prettier words for it, this is ruthless and anatomical and it is BEAUTIFUL. Also how you made the wing tufts like .. shaped like wings, more head-on than the tilt of her body to like..show it off as like a symmetrical emblem?? I don't know if that was intentional but it looks so rad and that sort of .. use of iconography really makes it all even more appropriate for a perfectly cute little sticker??

AND EVERYTHING I SAID IS MAGNIFIED TWO HUNDRED FOLD WITH THE CHIBI YOU DID OF RAMVEN. IM SCREECHING. Ok .. ok. Just hear me out. DID YOU KNOW THAT GETTING THE PERFECT ROUNDNESS OF THE HEAD ACROSS WITHOUT MAKING THEIR SKULL LOOK LIKE A DENTED EGG IS REALLY DIFFICULT, You managed to show off SO MUCH PERFECT FOREHEAD that doesnt make them look bald BUT INSTEAD HAS THE PERFECT .. BABY AESTHETIC?? And like having to line up the godzilla horns could have really thrown off that perfect wide-forehead baby roundness but no you literally owned them. You owned them!! Where you positioned them like..more up on the head .. it follows the perfect natural tilt line, if that makes sense, and it really completes the sense of the perfect Glen Keane disney baby princess aesthetic. The hair, too. . the way you condensed the shape of the hair just .. "fits" so, so nicely with everything, and again the way you emphasised hair clumps and "abbreviated" it and kept the direction and feel perfect, but so so compact .. it's like, magnetic to look at. The spacing between the eyes is also .. the balance is perfect, the distance is just enough to have that broad Baby look without making them look wall-eyed or comic at all, it's an absolutely masterful middle-ground. Also .. speaking of..implicitness. How the lil mouth :'3 is part?? Of the head lineart silhouette????? That .. that right there, that is it. That's what I'm talking about. That is perfect condensation of a character into a chibi appropriate for stickers and apparel and literally everything I ever want to own again. I'm not going to grace how you drew the ears with a description. They break my heart. (They are so so gorgeous, floppy lamb ears are my favourite things and you .. the way you got the..gentle sense of-turn-out...Oooooohh my goddd..I'm crying...)
I can't talk about the feet. They're too much. They are the cutest little nubs I've ever seen. And .. how you have the lil tail kinda flow out of the body, too, without needing a line to provide an obvious distinction - that's your perfect sense of chibi style again, not needing to actually make line to show form, which is so skillful U___U
These are absolutely amazing and I am so so so happy that I got to get these from you .. you rendered them both absolutely perfectly. I'm honestly hurting .. thank you so so much samooraii?? I don't care how many times I have to say you're a wonderful artist - you're a wonderful artist???????????????????? Thank you so much again T_____T
