Description These are the prototypes of the characters I've done so far. I realized that I was starting to go astray when I finished Setia. Her ratio is clearly not chibi--or at least not chibi enough.

Here's the basic biographies about the characters:

Adelphi Heartshred
[link]
She's pretty much a misguided orphan who ran into some trouble. She's obsessed with her box--despite it's rusted and rough exterior--and always carries it with her. Adelphi becomes dangerously aggressive if somebody takes it from her. She is a Type II shapeshifter and has remarkable regenerative abilities.

Sakura IV
[link]

Miryn III
Sakura's "younger" sister; she has the ability to travel, control, and steal shadows. She has a tight bond with her brother, Daw II, but has a rough time with her other "siblings." Miryn's skin is ghastly white because she constantly dwells in her own shadows.

Setia Tumi
One of my most favored characters and one I had a lot of connection to. She was a maid who was in the employ of Maya Kito, a vile and shrewd black market dealer. To leave out the fleshier details, Setia became Maya's slave, used for carnal urges and such. Naturally, the whole ordeal permanently scarred her and changed the rest of her life. At the age depicted, she's incredibly timid and often wets herself in the presence of her Mistress.
Ironically, Maya never hit Setia in the face, but I figured a black eye would get the point of her undesirable life across. Naturally, putting her in chibi form will be a challenge.

Well, they don't look Chibi by definition 3:1 or 2:1 head ratio, but they are definitely cute. I'm glad you chose to post the work at least! Your vector work is great, I myself have never done a complete one, only outlines and whatnot I decided against it because it takes too long for the results I want. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I started converting to the normal 1:2/1:3 ratio chibis.

Vectors were one of the first things I learned when I first started working with PS. I guess my experience is paying off

Practice pays off. Once you get immersed and I mean really immersed in a particular style you soon you start seeing the world differently. I can now identify colors better than I could 2 months ago, as well as how light affects different things. It's great to learn! Keep it up!

Thanks

I've been in a cutesy fix for a while. (The kind where you just wanna grab something cuddly and squeal, "OMG~!!! Soooo cuuuuute~!!!")

Oh, and poor Setia. How old is her Mistress anyway?

For this particular depiction, Setia is 18 y.o. making Maya 23, but they live in a different world, so the years don't really match up. So Setia is actually around 19.

My favs are Adelphi *steals her box* and Miryn III! Miryn III shares some of the abilities of Jen and Cartel, perhaps I should change them a bit to avoid similarities.

Don't touch her box.

Miryn III is pretty cliche, but at the time I created her (back in middle school) I thought the idea was "cool."

Her design is nice though. Reminds me of someone but I'm not sure who.

The mom from Adam's Family and Lust from FMA are the first things that come to mind for me. I despise FMA...

Yes, those two! I don't like FMA much either.
