Fireprincess - I'm mostly talking about animation and comics and video games. :) So stuff like Batman, Naruto, and Street Fighter.

Your suggestion of drawing them "out of normal" is a good idea, though. :) Maybe I'll put some characters into kimono. :)

I draw a different sort of "chibi" style, normally. xD Let me see if I can find an example.... Here we go:
Link
Rainbow

It's based on the I Dream of Jeanie opening style meets Bruce Timm style. xD



I can draw normal chibi too, though. It's just more difficult. >_>
