Description

I did something totally different again. xD I'm going to force myself to finish these even if I don't like them anymore :shakefist:

I was reading artbook note translations and Naoko wrote in one that drawing SD was hard for her. I'm glad I'm not the only one (hers are way cuter though :slow:)

This is my first official critique so don't murder me!! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g…" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle"/> Anyways, you really did a great job turning Sailor Saturn into a chibi. While making the proportions smaller, which can sometimes turn into a hassle for some people because it does force people to think outside of the box with anatomy, you were able to translate the body proportions well. The pose and facial expression also fits very well into Sailor Saturn's character personality.

The only thing that seems off to me (and it could just be me <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x…" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD"/>) is the lines. They seem a bit too thick for a regular chibi and kind of give it a 'heavy' look. Normally with regular chibis, I often see people either use thin lines or a thick border while using thin lines for the detailing. When I see thick line chibis, its usually used to portray a strong emotion (i.e.: yelling, excited, etc...). With the strong emotions, it normally balances out the 'weight' of the thick lines.

Anyways, I hope this all makes sense and this was helpful! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/> Regardless though, this really did turn out to be a very good chibi and I am enjoying watching you evole with this style.
