Evolution of Chris's Art Styles and Designs

The total sum of Chris's artworks come primarily in three iterations, outlined here:

• Generation 0, which is Chris's first foray into Sonic, Pokemon, and recolors. Rather simplistic, it relies heavily on circles.
• Generation 1, seen in Chris's early works about Sonichu. Marked by plenty of soft borders.
• Generation 2, which debuted in Issue 5 with the arrival of Megan. Has obvious manga/anime influences. Believe it or not, Chris demonstrates better mastery of the pen. Dispenses with soft-bordering entirely, lending more clarity to his images.

More to come.

Generation 0

Generation 1

We start to see irises, but lazy eyes are still a major problem in larger pictures. Irises may or may not be bordered; generally, with smaller pictures, they are not.

The reason that rosechus all have that vacant stare is because Chris always draws the top eyelids (with accompanying eyelashes, natch), whereas they are usually omitted with sonichus.

Generation 2

Note the difference between the two Bionic pictures. Chris's hair becomes defined. There are generally more and thicker borders. One major change is the borders surrounding the irises. Virtually absent in Gen-1, they nearly always take that "crescent moon" form in Gen-2. Antagonists remain in "Generation 1" style, indicating that Chris only puts effort into characters he likes. As Chris's art "improves", he is more able to realize his ideal self-image on paper. Whereas the Chrises in Generation 1 vaguely resemble fat manchildren, Chris in Gen-2 is noticeably more defined in body shape, both in terms of art and portrayal. General body proportions (internal to each character, not from one object/character to another) are smoothed out for adult Chus only. Pikachu ears tend to point upwards rather than outwards.
