Title: [WIP] Learn to make a charset.
Post by: Lusty on September 02, 2011, 10:12:07 am

Hello, this is my first post so nice to meet all of you.
I'm Lusty and pretty new in pixeling, right now I'm trying to make a charset for my game. My friend help me with the template but I make the clothes by myself.
Here the result so far.

Please give me advice because I don't know if my work is good enough, or wrong.
NB : I still cannot make the hair yet.

The perspective of the face doesn't match with the body's, it looks like he's looking down, so you should raise his eyes by 1 pixel.
His legs are a bit too wide, in my opinion.

here is a quick edit, later I'll try to do some hair on him for your inspiration : )

as you can see, he looks kinda strange on a light background, because of the dark borders, (maybe you already knew) remember to choose according to what the background's gonna be (light or dark)

Thanks for replying XD
Actually the face looked down because the perspective view is from top front side, but if this case then the body perspective is the one that wrong?

Well about the background usually I chose dark color because light color kind a hurt my eyes.

Yeah the problem is that the body looks like it is seen in a front perspective.

This is a reference i took from www.posemaniacs.com (http://www.posemaniacs.com),
http://www.posemaniacs.com/archives/1542 (http://www.posemaniacs.com/archives/1542) it should be useful to see how this half top-view perspective works : )

And here's an edit I did to make it look more like an half top-view perspective
