Mockup [WIP]

[Souly]

Uhh, his leg does come out of his stomach.

Did you actually just say that?
Um I believe his leg comes out of his HIP but in yours his leg comes out of his stomach.

Your bowsper sprite has a lot of perspective issues due to the referencing.
And since you have bowsers foot going down past the frame it's only natural that marios dows the same.

[Tuna Unleashed]

Bowser has hips?! But I'll fix the mario thing. I dont get the perspective thing though. Hes facing the screen more but I dont see why thats a problem.

[Souly]

Um, most things with legs do?

[Tuna Unleashed]

do you see any hips on dry bowser pics?

[Souly]

I think the question is, do you? 

[Tuna Unleashed]

No, all I see is a turtle skeleton with a spiky shell, a surprisingly malleable skull, and a body made of giant circular ribs.

[Jakten]

It still looks strange though. Even though you don't see a hip it should be assumed to assure that he operates properly.

[Conzeit]

in the ref pictures the stance is more hunched forwards, and the legs come out from the hole between the two last ribs, instead of the second to last rib.

[PypeBros]

Honnestly, i don't see ribs. I see the bottom of his shell. Ribs, hips and stuff are supposed to be in the shell, aren't they ?

(oh, and since he's an undead bowser, we have a ghost in the shell.  heh heh  heh erhm.    )

[Conzeit]

yes, it's a shell..and no there's not even any semblance of correct anatomy here, but we think there's atleast the use of posture to emulate one.

There's no "ribs" per se, but in this skeleton version there's gaps between each of the rows in Bowser's shell unlike in his normal 3D model, therefore since this is supposed to be emulating a skeleton, we asume the intention is to signify ribs instead of a shell.
