[image: the lemmy logo, but with elfilin's eyes, cheek blushes, ear notch, and general colouration. still retains the original whiskers, ears (size-wise), and nose.]

here's the more polished version of elfilem that i promised! it was pretty fun to work on, and i'm quite proud of the final result. instead of just roughly eyeballing everything, i leveraged the power of code (i.e. wrote an svg file by hand) and used Precise Numbers™ to dictate the position and size of things.

seems like lemmy doesn't support uploading svg files, so instead i uploaded a png version. not sure if and how i'll share the original svg -- would certainly love to! i commented the code specifically so that others could get a better understanding of what i did to draw each thing.

edit: never mind, just pasted the svg source code into a comment below

list of notable changes from the original elfilem:

  • eyes are now significantly higher up than they were originally
  • cheek blushes are now larger, fully visible circles
  • inner orange part of ears now extends fully downward to more accurately match elfilin's appearance
  • eyes now have a dark blue outline
  • various colours have been changed

created with the help of the following:

this is the most effort i've put into a drawing in a long time. but i think the result is worth it! :)

edit: the white outline was lost in the background the first time i uploaded this. after some shenanigans on my end, here's a version that includes the white outline as it's supposed to!... unless you're on kbin apparently edit 2: made the new image properly spaced instead of "cramped" (cropped to have no extra space)

Poyo!

Who's Kirby?

Kirby is the unstoppable puffball with an infinite appetite.

Staring in a pretty awesome series of games produced by HAL and published by Nintendo, Kirby is known for swallowing his enemies whole and copying their abilities.

Don't let his small stature and cute demeanor fool you! Kirby spends much of his time protecting his friends, planet, and food from demonic horrors that would otherwise threaten the entire universe.
