Description
=======

The Chibi-Machine lets you select facial expressions and hairstyles from a sorted database to create your favorite lovable chibi ^.^
Just use the arrow buttons to scroll between the different graphics.

I was saving this project as a surprise :)
I'm pretty sure someone must have used the same idea before, too bad I'm not yet subscribed to DA so I can't really use the search function T_T lol
Yeah ok I admit that my art sucks >.< lol

I'll be sure to include much more facial expressions and hairstyles (maybe noses too, lol) in the future, what I really love about this project is that its soooooo easy to do more shapes and add them to the database, the only thing that's hard to do is hair -_- and also some anime style eyes..

-Update-
----------

Ummmmmmm.. My English isn't too good, I need help labelling the facial expressions / hairstyles `.` please anybody...



Want me to include your favorite anime character?
=================================

If you want me to include facial expressions from your favorite anime character please say so in your comments and give me link(s) to an image of him/her (preferrabely one from the front side of his/her face)
I can also try to do facial expressions from your favorite emoticon, just show me an example in your comments (e.g. ^.^ or -_- or :D...)
any ideas for more facial expressions and hairstyles are very very welcome



Database Sorting problems
===================

This interactive flash will be usually constantly updated with more facial expressions and hairstyles, so the numbers referring to each facial expression and hairstyle will be constantly re-sorted.. I apologize for those who like to refer to thier custome-shaped chibi with numbers..
However, worry not for I will soon implement a labeling system to all the database's items ^.^ expect it in some future release



Want to make an avatar from your favorite chibi?
================================

First add a :+fav: to this deviation :D, then press 'Print Screen' on your keyboard to get a screenshot, then paste it in your favorite image processing program.. reduce it to 50x50 pixels.
You may use screenshots as you like as long as you refer to this Interactive Flash here with a link..

And please don't use screenshots to rip art from this, I put a copyright symbol with my signature in the bottom right corner for that reason ^.^



Music?
=====

I was thinking if I should add music or not.. Music will make it more fun, maybe more annoying but I'll include a stop music button anyway.. It'll make the flash bigger thus the download will be slower..
But the question is, should I include music or not? And if I should, tell me which soundtrack to include?
I think if I were to include music I'd use a MIDI file, 'cuz most of them are royalty free..

Anyway, if you think music is a must, you can play one of your own music files while playing with the Flash for now..

Well, I don't have much to suggest. Good luck reaching version 1.0 though.

ah don't worry about it, you don't have to send me pics
are they of a character you made or of a character you like?
if its a character you like, just find me a nice image and send me a link, here's a [link] to make the search easy to find :D

thanks for the comment :D glad you liked the flash ^^;

"Time" doesn't change people. "Time" will only take people through the path that they chose, and there will be a point in "Time" where people will realize that they've gone far.

Hehehe, I had way too much fun with this one... very cool idea, I've seen a few similar ones of these, and I definitely like this one because we can make suggestions :D

I think the rosy cheeks need work, it would actually be better if they were a solid pinkish oval shape. Right now, frankly, they look like some weird acne or something.

Oh... and I hope you don't mind my using this thing as inspiration for my avatar... I kinda... got... carried...away. Erm. If you do mind, I'll change it. :D
~Xenosteel:iconXenosteel: Sep 22, 2004, 1:00:43 PM
THANKS I'll add the cheek you just recommended to the database right away :D
also, feel free to use some of it as an avatar, but you gotta :+fav: first =P
and you gotta refer to this flash..

hah actually you don't have to fav this or refer to this flash or anything because you're a friend, what are friends for anyway :hug:
... ok maybe just refer to the flash would be good.. lol.. or atleast fav (hah I'm such a butt, lmao)
