Hewow! I am back with the chibis! This time, it is @wittyzell 's turn!
A little back story with Witty!
I knew of Witty when I joined the @hiveph Discord server. She did not notice me or maybe just ignored me because I am new on the server, haha! Aha, she is one of the staff. I was confused at first because should staff be accommodating? Haha. The people in the server were so freaking cold. In the back of my mind, "These people are ultra boring."
So, yeah, every day I try to interact with the peeps. One day, I dropped a message on the wrong channel. Witty then chatted back with the hashtag "strict". Gosh, this person is very snob, haha! But I do understand that it is her job to check the server, and if rules are followed.
So fast forward, as I stay longer on the server, I knew of Witty more. She is very helpful, smart, pretty, and funny too! We jive easily because we have common interests such as anime and Japanese stuff.
Some day, I will visit Japan and meet Witty! Yipeee~
References
I asked her to send me some references for her chibi character. Here's what she sent me!
For the hairstyle, she chose the character from Fairy Tail Ezra. She requested her Chibi to be holding street food such as dango, sprinkled choco banana, mallows and strawberry.
I got excited creating her Chibi because of the food, haha~
I skipped sketching the character because I am so used to making chibis in this style. I just trust my muscle memory at this point, Yaaaah! I do not claim that I perfected this style already. It is just my lazy bum~
Lineart
I color picked the red/maroon color from the reference for the hair. I like how the red and brown mixture. I might save this color palette, ~mehehe. I try to copy the bangs as much as in my style too.
Witty chose a simple, black hoodie for the clothing. (Buti na lang para di ako mahirapan haha, charot!)
Flat colors
The green background compliments the hair and the black hoodie. I took time looking for the perfect shade of green though in this part. Yay~ we are getting there!
Details~ details~
Of course, the signature two lines, one dot shine for the hair. The pinkish blush just below the eyes. I added some lashes to make the chibi more feminine. Added shadings of the skin, just a bit darker to make it appear that it has a little bit of dimension.
Final art
Adding the foodums, and the pink circles on the background.
I added some shapes on the background so that it will not be just a plain color.
The dango, sprinkled choco banana, and mallows and strawberry make the chibi character complete UWU!
I actually searched for more references to make the food accurate.
Conclusion
I finished the whole process in just about 40 minutes. Sent it to Witty and I am glad that she liked it! Yey~ The chibi suits her well!
