159 – Omnivorous
She was supposed to be glowing like a Saiyan in the last panel, but I didn’t want to cover up all the shading I’ve done.
Also, heyy I did a drawing but it’s not Cat Nine related so I didn’t post it here, unless it’s fine with you guys?
EDIT: 2nd panel fixed according to someone’s complaints

Keith: Hibi? I feel fine except you look... taller? (like, really tall)
Cruz: Or did we shrink?!
Hibi-Hibi: No, this is my true form. It was an emergency. ummmm... hello!
Cruz: Hi Hibi.
Keith: So what happened?
Hibi-Hibi: You three passed out when the Bakunawa ate the moon and caused the eclipse.
She's also known as a man-eater, so I was worried what might happen.
True form?! She is fu….riend size. yes! As in able to hang out and do stuff without people thinking you are a weirdo. Yep, totally platonically friend size.
Was either the suggestive comment or the one where she licks everyone calling dibs to ensure the guys do not get eaten.
Just say she’s lovely. Or, feel free to lust over her or other characters in Discord. And I don’t know if you have seen that new art I posted of her, which is over here just in case: http://cat-nine.net/april-2018-patrons-and-ko-fi-enablers/
“she licks everyone”
She’s gonna need a longer tongue, or enough time. 😆
In retrospect, the licking one was indeed the better option. Feel a bit bad for the first one.
Hahaha don’t worry about it. You should see how much they’re praising Hibi’s huge tracts of land in the Discord server.
I am kind of scared to now…
Well don’t be, it’s all in good fun.
She’s cute, and I like the way her eyes seem to glow in the last panel.
She is! It is glowing yes.
I’d say her “True Form” is quite well-formed. (Huggable. Definitely huggable.)
Hee thanks! She keeps looking weird to me, so it’s a relief that you guys find her fine.
This is the first time shess appeared as an adult-human-sized character in the comic, so it’s understandable that you’re concerned about the reception. She looks good. Your art style isn’t Disney-esque, but that’s good. Not everyone should draw in Cinderella style. 🙂
Though I do have a couple questions: If this is Hibi-Hibi’s “True Form,” does she use energy to maintain her miniature form? That seems like a strange way for her to go about. I don’t see any wings or other abnormalities, so why couldn’t/wouldn’t just normally spend her time in “True Form”?
Of course, cause Cat Nine is manga-styled, and I don’t want to draw in western style anyway.
“If this is Hibi-Hibi’s “True Form,” does she use energy to maintain her miniature form?”
I didn’t really think about it cause it’s not that important. Since she’s smaller, wouldn’t it use less energy though?
And you’ll find out why she likes being little, later.
Since she’s smaller, wouldn’t it use less energy though?
That depends on what “True Form” means. If True Form is more like a Super Sayan mode, then it would take energy to maintain True Form. But if Mini Form is some type of disguise or camoflague, then it probably requires some type of energy to maintain. Cartoon physics usually says that. In an episode of Dexter’s Lab, Dexter shrunk, and popped back after only an hour’s time. In Girl Genius Radio Theatre, a shrink ray merely needed to be switched off for all the characters, plus a castle, to pop back to normal size.
Edit: You’re right about it not being a big deal, though. If asked, Hibi could say something like, “Oh, I just always use a tiny bit of magic to stay little. It doesn’t take much.”
Hibi revealed her true form!
Wait, does this mean she’s the final boss?
Would you want to fight her though
So Mega-Hibi is real and not a dream, hallucination or case of the shrinks. So is the Bakunawa.
Well, it’s good to see Hibi at her full power. I’m glad no-one got man-eaten.
She’s dreamy alright. 😉
If her hair starts turning blonde, now that’s full powah.
