Style 1 a.k.a "Original Chip"

Style 1 Chip is the very first iteration of the character shown publicly on the Chipflake channel. It is considered a "Main" style and was discussed in 'Why I Keep Changing My Art Style. '

The code name (used to define styles from one another) "Original" is in reference to it being the first - none came before it.

Design
This version of Chip has fluffy cheeks, big ears, blue, oval-shaped eyes, a fluffy tail, black paw pads and insides of the ears, and the legs have no ankles like on other designs.

Inspiration & Development
This style consists of several different character stills of Chip expressing different emotions through facial expressions and arm/head movements. They were created in Photoshop CS6 using a combination of the Pen and Brush tools.

The style does not have any specific inspirations, rather it is inspired by lineless artwork in general and cartoons featuring anthropomorphic animals such as Looney Toons.

Retirement
Why I'm Not Making Videos was the final video in which this style was used to represent Chip.

The style was retired due to Chipflake feeling as though it did not have enough personality and lacked the ability to achieve a wide range of expressions because most of the body parts were fixed.

This style was followed by Style 1.5 a.k.a "Leftright Chip".
