Artwork
Michele states that "My work has a definite Anime slant to it, with big eyes and wild hair. Most people would describe my art by saying "Oh, it's sooo CUTE!"" However, her art has been criticized for being too repetitious, with the faces of many characters being remarkably similar to one another.
