HEUG FILE AHOY fullsize plz

Folder with .exe stuff (more info) can be found here.

Well, one of my goals since high school has been to do a height chart sometime of allll my characters and species, etc etc. That's kind of difficult, since there's a lot of different stuff, but I'm really proud to say that here's at least one segment. 8'D

I did a couple of shiva sketches originally for Artslam over at LJ, and then when the trend continued, I thought it would be cool to draw out the rest of the shivas, as well as a normal, standard.exe (and a junkeater, olol) so everyone could see the size differences in them all. However, since it was going to be a lot, I wanted to color, but no shading/highlighting. They are all extremely quick sketches, but I think overall they look pretty good!

-I guess I should also point out is that timewise, only the original Shiva exists in the present time...the rest of the characters are from Near!Future, which is a couple of decades away.
-Fissure Co. is the manufacturer. You should probably read the compendium for a lot of the information relating back to this. It's slightly dated/some things have changed, but not much.

-Pascal is a normal, pet-grade standard.exe. He is what you get when you buy one from the pet store. Target is also a standard.exe, but he's suffered heavy damage. Fissure doesn't bother repairing broken .exe, so. 8[ Everyone else is a shiva.exe.

The shiva.exes are for the most part, larger than standard.exe, and at the most basic level, get sorted into weightclasses before they're assigned their task. The most common shivas are middleweights and used for fighting, but not always.
Narcissus is a lightweight, Sumatra and Elizabeth are both middleweights, Icarus (who is lion-based, making him large by default) and Shiva are heavyweights, and Sirensix is a super-heavyweight and the largest shiva with the generic-base.
There's also things like a medclass-type shiva that also falls into a heavyweight category (and are kind of mass-produced to all have a similar look), but I didn't draw one.

I won't talk about each, because then this description will get waaaay too long, but Sumatra is kind of a special-case. She ended up with hands instead of normal paws, so Fissure decided to pull off her wings and quills, and have her 'work' in the part of the company the public sees a lot. She passes for a short, horned malacyne. They couldn't take the knob on her head off, though, so she wears a hat, or a wig, or both to cover it, and there's also the problem that her tail isn't attached either, so she wears a lot of things with poofs or bows in the back to cover it up. She wears a lot of dresses, and usually her hats are waaaay tackier than that.

Man, I hope I didn't ramble too much. Thanks for reading all that, if you did! <33333

You have a lot of really creative characters. Size charts are an awesome way to get your characters into perspective. Awesome lineup, great characters, amazing picture :D

AAAA I MISS .EXE AND SUMATRA'S SILLY HATS SO BADLY. ;w; *clings to all of them fondly*
But you didn't draw them in the old .exe style. o3o Still, this is super mega awesome~ <3

Hahah, like I said, I still mess around with them, but I don't do shops anymore. XDD;; But, I don't know what you expect for 'old .exe style'. XDDD I wasn't drawing them in any style other than my normal one, so if my art changes from just years and practice, so does how they look.

Thank you! I thought it might be easier to break the size charts into categories like this (.exe, human(iod)s, malacynes, animal species, etc) rather than do one gigantic picture that I'd never finish. XDDD

Makes sense to me! XD

And plus, if you want, you could always copy-paste the size chart directly into your next one now that you've made it ;D

Yea, I had noticed when finding your account again that your style had changed. :3 While I adore your old one still, it's excellent as it is now, too. xDD
I'm planning to open a shop, but can't seem to fix my time management beforehand. n-n;; I'll have to work on that first! xD

Oooh, size charts! Excellent project idea you have. xD I love being able to see how tall everyone really is- besides which, seeing .exe again is great in itself. xD <3 I look forward to the size charts to come!
:iconmechanicalkat:
Thank you! I'm not sure when the next size chart I do will come, but XDD I think it should be fun!
