Hrm.
Well I do clay structures. I do little clay fairies actually, for the time. It's not that I cannot craft anything more "realistic"...but just that I cannot create something that complicated and detailed that is small enough to fit inside of an eggshell. Therefore, I choose to do simplified versions. I think it might be likened perhaps, to a chibi-form of anime? I mean, the artist _can_ do a perfectly drop dead bishie, but chooses to do chibi cause it fits in a 1"x1" square, whereas a detailed version of that same character will not.
I know it's not proportional, I know it's not perfect..but my goal isn't necessarily to make it proportional?
Hypothetically, would it be ok if someone's style _was_ chibi? If what they sold were just chibis or headshots instead of full body cg's? Cause that's how it feels for me. I'm doing chibi clay things because my interest is primarily in the shell itself; that is where I'm doing the detail.
