You know how some anime shows like to turn characters into chibis for over-the-top reactions?
Normally, I'd avoid doing this, since that's like a Disney Princess doing a wild take. Since Sam is more like a '90s anime character, she gets a free pass.

The only things that carried over from the original sketch for little Timmy are his dapper outfit (which kinda makes him look like Richie Rich) and Astro Boy's nose.
Adding that bit of chub from the sprite made his face even more like Astro's.
What did I say? (Monorail!)
What's it called? (Monorail!)
That's right, Monorail!
(Monorail. Monorail. Monorail.)
Not the most important detail, but it gives the city a little more life.
That sounds nice and all, but I think I'd better write what I know, and not just go with the poll's results for making my game. No offense.
If you're worried about whether or not a setting doesn't feel realistic in a platform game's camera angle, treat it like it's a stage play. They're never that realistic, but we buy into them all the same.
I'm gonna give this game an animated billboard.
Yes it IS unusually low-res, just like real billboards.
Not the most mindblowing thing I've done so far, but I wanted to try it out.
When doing mugshots, sometimes, it's a combination of both my initial sketch and my sprite.
I'm committed to his ridiculous head shape.
Mr. Redford, the bald guy, is a lawyer and co-owner of WarrenWorks, a tech giant.
Samantha is a doctor (not a nurse) and Timmy's godmother.
Little Timmy is the last surviving Warren.
The Warrens owned Pinafore, and she took care of their summer home.
I tweaked the animation. Added a few in-betweeners. There's still a bit of jitter with the the feet on the floor, but I can work with that. It's a bit more subtle.
Also, don't listen to that Tim Curry number from Ferngully while watching this.
That frizzy hair is easier to draw by hand than in pixel art.
While Pinafore is influenced by '80s characters, Sam is influence by '90s characters. It might be hard to tell any difference.
