Artist's Comments

All right, well, this has been an issue since I first started drawing the 'drops. I still adore drawing Stardrop and the others in the first style; seemingly hairless, simple shapes to boot. However, it makes it very hard for me to draw her from a variety of angles without it becoming kind of boring for me (for the fact that, if drawn from the top, there will be not much but a round head and ears, maybe eyes)... It also brings up the question of what shape her mouth area is from the side, since she has no visible nose.

To make things more complicated, she is pretty much a mutated cat.

To solve this, and put her into a style that is more aesthetically pleasing at times, I started experimenting with the 'new' way of drawing her. This gives some variety in head shape--even though they basically are the same shapes...

I still don't want to "pick" between the two. I will always have an affinity for the first way of drawing her, and it will always be equally as correct to me. The second way is just more practical for any sort of illustrations I might make of Stardrop with the flower kitties (for they exist in the same world).

This isn't necessarily a deviation asking for which you /like more/, just a deviation to explain that I have torn feelings on designs sometimes. I think of the first style of her like my chibi drawings of flower kitties (like in my journal). Equally as correct and representative, but different!

EDIT: the nose is something I'm still unsure on, for the new one. I've removed it at the present time, because I don't really know if I want her to have one visible or not.

I'm a Tails X Cosmo fan!
I'm also a Tails X Sari Sumdac fan, so deal with it.

I DON'T believe in Jesus Christ as my savior. Got a problem with that?

I think God is a Girl.
I also think Earth shall one day be devoured by either Unicron or Galactus.

I have had similar issues with my characters. I tend to draw them in different styles and can't really "pick" one. I guess it would be a problem if one wanted to use them for things like a book, or an animated cartoon, but when it's just things you draw for yourself, I guess it doesn't matter much, as long as you have fun drawing them :)

hmmm, i think the new one, looks a lot more fun to draw, like you said. Its better than just a little round kitty. And the fur gives it a little more attitude. :p But its still your choice and they both look excellent.
