All of Them Tiny

Christopher Lee drew Sailor Moon, Batman, Pokémon, all your favorite characters, and made them impossibly cute. We’re talking oversized heads, tiny bodies, the full chibi treatment. It’s the kind of thing that hits different when you already care about these characters—you’ve spent years with them in their proper forms, and then someone draws them small and soft and suddenly you see them completely differently.

Chibi design flattens everything. Make Batman tiny and round-headed and he stops being the point. He becomes approachable. Sailor Moon becomes something you could have a conversation with instead of just admire from a distance. The scale does the heavy lifting—something small can’t intimidate, can’t command the room. It has to be gentle.

What makes this work is that it’s not mocking. It’s the opposite of mockery. It’s affection rendered as art. You don’t spend time drawing every detail of these tiny versions of characters you don’t genuinely love. There’s care in that. Care and a certain kind of knowing—the kind that comes from having lived with these characters long enough to see them in a new way.

Lee pulled from everywhere—different franchises, different eras, characters that wouldn’t normally exist in the same space. But in miniature they’re all the same. They’re all equally harmless and equally cute. That leveling-out is the real point. Strip away scale and hierarchy and suddenly your favorite serious characters look like they should be on a shelf, holding hands, waiting for someone to play with them.

Everything shifts when you see them tiny like this. All the weight they carried drops away. The series is called Select Your Hero, which implies a choice, but there’s nothing to choose between once they’re all rendered this way.
