well i am starting a new site and had this idea of making an entire city as the site. My inspiration came from this: [http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00006J40W.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00006J40W.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) I thought that was a good idea for the design aspect for the site, very different of what is out there. Right now I am trying to create “human-like” character in this style. I have looked at [www.boombastick.net](http://www.boombastick.net) and [www.hellokitty.com](http://www.hellokitty.com), both which are the style I am kinda looking for. Now, I ask of you to either: 1. develop a character in this style 2. give me a link or a picture of somesort in this style so I can get some ideas I am an artist myself but have absolutly no experience or knowledge in japanese cartoons! Alright thanks people -¡Deano! :z: ---

do you mean that throughout the site you navigate through the city? or you see the city from the main page? [www.tigersushi.com](http://www.tigersushi.com) uses that kind of interface, but im not sure if its exactly what you were thinking or not. ---

A big head and a stumpy body? Does not seem to hard. My question is what kind of personality are you looking for. Mischeivious kids, defiant pre-teens old fashioned grown ups? I do some cartooning and character creation so I may have some laying around on disk. ---

Chibis, basically. 🙂 I might have some tucked away on my hard drive that could be modified… I’ll have a look round. ---

So that is what it is called “chibis.” Thanks for the term kit These are the character I am trying to draw now: 1. A break dancing robot 2. An artsy shaved head dude with the black rimmed glasses…kinda looks gay 3. A mob boss I want to keep it really simple 😉 THANKS a ton!!! -Dean ---

So, basically you are asking us to do the drawings for you? Just doodle on some paper, I don’t see how inspiration can get any better than that, especially since you already have a basis for your ideas. ---

No, I just have never drawn any kind of “anime” I just wanted some visual ideas to get me started. Let me re-phrase me previous post: give me chibis drawing to look at, not copy or to use. -Dean
