Chibi Crawling Sage

This was the first time I have tried to draw a really small child, or any child for that matter. Decided to make it a pencil drawing in my realistic style. It came together surprisingly well and in a very short period of time. This drawing took about two hours, including the tweaking.

Shortly after completing the drawing I scanned and cleaned up the scan. Sent it to Talon shortly thereafter. She sounded like she needed a pick-me-up after reading her blog so I figured the image might help. She liked it.

It took a while to decide what to add to the background after colouring the chibi proper. I first thought about putting a bed in the background with two Saiya-jin tails dangling from it and make it an illustration for Birth of a Prince. But that just did not pan out.

For some reason, the idea of doing something funny kept niggling my brain. Slowly an ad for diapers (nappies) started formulating, since the diaper was so prominent in the drawing.

Talon calls him 'lil diaper butt'.

So I started putting different sayings on the image in different font styles and colours. Also needed to 'ground' the chibi so added a planet. Added outer space background to continue the theme. Had to add the Capsule Corp logo so the product looked like it was actually from the company and had to add the Royal House of Vejiita-sei symbol as a piece of embroidery to the shirt.

Because the image looked unbalanced I then added various rays of light.
