My first chibis! This image wont make sense unless you follow the anime Bleach closely, and then it still night not. I read that chibi's were the easiest figures to draw. But I had a hard time getting the proportions down. It was easier to do penguinizing. I still didn't get it quite right. The body length should be closer two and a half times the head length. And they don't usually have noses, but the pumpkin guy's (Zommari) nose is his most prominent feature so... :| The pink petal tornado looks so much cooler in my head, but close enough I think. I'm not sure about the shading and high lighting. Or how annoying the gradient steps are on the floor.

I exported it at like 400 dpi and scaled it down with gimp, but there is a lot of aliasing on spork guy's (Byakuya) face. It made a little worce buy changing to jpg. It's bugging me but I've been looking at it a lot. How annoying is the aliasing? When I export it as like 72 dpi there is really obvious aliasing in spork guy's hair. Also I don't know if I've cropped it too tight.

Very cool. I really like the flower-petal tornado, and even the rays coming from Zommari's spoon, which look simple at first, have some nice detail to them. And any work that includes a spork in it is a hit in my book. :D

Personally, I don't notice the aliasing too much. I think most people here probably automatically "tune it out" because they know how it's "supposed" to look in SVG.

Here it is exported at 72 dpi in png format. It looks a lot better than I thought it would. Only aliasing I see is on spork chibi's (Byakuya's) eyebrows. Which I am probably just fixation on.

Thanks. I meant to add the text "You brought a spoon to a spork fight. Now Die!" But it looks so pruddy now, I'm not sure I want to muff it up with text. ;) I guess, I over did the details on the rays. The white horizontal streaks on rays the don't show up in the 72 dpi png file.
