I must say, I without a doubt LOVE this piece to death. It shows how much I've improved for the couple years I've been on here posting arts. YAY! I'm getting better!

I'd been plotting and saying for I dunno how many years now, that I'd remake this pic one day. And finally that day has come. I wanted to do something big for my official '100th' gallery pic (now that I sorted stuff out) and this I think makes a good one! Whaddya think?
---------------------

Back in 2006 I drew a pic of the Cobra Unit all chibified and it rapidly became a super popular pic in my gallery, second to only my Snake Tales 3!

You can see the original here: [link] It's my most favorited and most commented on, according to the little dA insight thingy!

---------------------

This version is a lot better done this time around. I have sketched out the chibis again like in 2007 or so, I think! Yikes...there's some differences now. Mostly everything is just done better and the characters are now looking a bit different.

- Fury is no longer looking all that psycho flying around LOL but he came out a tad short compared to the rest. His background is a little different. I tried to make it look better than the old one.

- Sorrow looks a LOT cooler! I love the way he came out. He's kinda posed differently, but whatever. I might stick him in a separate pic all by himself on a different background just so you can see him clearly. XD He's awesome!

- Fear also looks better, I think. He's posed in a spin-kick sorta headstand! lol And his forest background looks a little cleaner. (Bunny is still there!)

- Pain kinda has the same feel going on but he's just drawn better and has a little hornet sitting on his finger there instead of what looked like a badly drawn bee flying around...lol

- Joy (Boss) has been completely changed. She doesn't looks so happy-fluffy anymore. Now she's ready to kick butt in the flower field! She's armed with the Patriot, if only I'd been able to draw it better, though. D'oh! Background is also redone and looking more like it should, with the exception of the stuff not being as tall because I really didn't want to cut some of her legs off. She's so cool!

- The End has been pretty much completely changed. He's now snoozing. lol He looks kinda better and less ugly. And he's not staring at you with that googly eye anymore. His parrot kinda got fat, though. X3

I think this is the longest and most work I've ever done on a pic before! It took a loooong time to color this sucker and do all the junk in it. It was worth the effort, though!

File size is quite large, as is the pic. This time shrinking it made it look a little fuzzy...so I just kept it! I want it to look large and nice. More like this will probably come once I get done with other stuff!
