Chibi anime style
Chibi is the cute, super-deformed look: large heads and eyes on small, simplified bodies, rounded shapes and pastel colors. Animey draws your characters as chibi and keeps their proportions and expressions consistent across every shot.

The Chibi look
Heads are big and bodies small and simple, outlines are thick and soft, and everything is round, from faces to props. Colors stay pastel, and expressions are exaggerated so every joke and feeling reads at a glance.

FAQ
Questions about the Chibi style
Does the Chibi style copy an existing anime?
No. Chibi is a generic description of a look and never names a studio, an artist, a show or a character. Your characters and your world are your own.
Will my characters look the same in every Chibi shot?
That is what they are designed for: the series’ Chibi style card and each character’s approved reference sheet are the references of every shot, which helps keep faces, outfits and colors consistent from scene to scene.
Can I move a series away from Chibi later?
Yes. The series gets a new style card, and approved characters are redrawn in the new style and approved again.
What does a Chibi episode cost?
The same as any other style: one credit per 5-second Standard shot. A 5-minute episode at Standard is about 60 credits.
