Chibi X-Wing & TIE Fighter by DarthNick

Most of you already know the format "chibi".
For others, it's difficult to define this format, but we can say that the goal is to reproduce something by exaggerating certain proportions, to make it more ... cute. Originally, the word chibi comes from Japan and means in slang something like "little person".
In the manga world this term is used to refer to characters drawn with oversized heads.

Et DarthNick offers us a perfect example of what is possible to achieve in this format with this X-Wing and this Tie Fighter. So we can calmly say: "It's cute..."and that's the goal, without trying to determine if the MOC is faithful to the original model or not.

If you want to see other achievements in this format, flickr is swarming with MOCs in this spirit (click here for many examples of MOCs), FBTB even organized a competition on this theme.

Below is another example with this Chibi AT-AT from MacLane which had also been presented in the competition organized by FBTB.
