I see you've run into the classic "Without arms it looks like-" problem.

I'm not entirely sure how you would fix it though. Maybe have the hand more on the side of the face rather than the center. Make sure it's not directly on the eye though, otherwise it'll just look like an eye.

Though this is a huge missed opertunity to use this style again.

Regardless, I think it's cool. Just fix the hand/nose.

I still don't get how on earth people get that impression. >_>

Eh, well.

Eh, well.

It may be white, but it's positioning associates it with a clown's nose.

Believe me, I know about when the viewer completely misinterprets the artist's art. It's very common because they don't know what you're intending. There's no real way to avoid it besides thinking ahead about what it might look like to the people.

Or, if you're lazy like me, just say "SCREW IT!" and put it anyway if it's not very important. awesome;

Well technically it is the same style structurally.

But I think what really makes the style is the vectored, no-outline look. It's simple and effective.

Should mention that the style question was something I was thinking about. I wouldn't have minded using that style. But I thought this was well done enough that it didn't need it, ya know?

Well it is nice. I just think the chibi style just works better without the outlines. Gives it a nice, simplistic look.

But I'm good with this too.

Also, to prove my point of the "in looks like" problem, even professionals run into that same problem.

Alright, I think it's good enough to be our new banner now. Hoorah!

So that's one item off the checklist. I'll have Anhs put it on ASAP.
