Random Nintendo Characters

Layton looks very off balance, like he's going to fall over to the left (our left) side

[Cheetah]

@Crow: I agree. I was hoping to do a different kind of stand from the others, but I have really struggled with making it look good. #2 is an earlier attempt with a similar stance to the other characters. Is this better or is there another way to make #3 more balanced?

[BlueArctica]

The third stance is really akward, like he would fall over backwards. If you move his legs a column or two to the left, that should hopefully make him look like his legs can keep him standing... Sorry if I can't be much more help...

Sometimes picking at something offers diminishing returns, and you just move on. Outside of major changes I think these are as good as they will be, and they're pretty good. As long as you recognize why Layton looks off balance, then I think you should move on.

[Cheetah]

Great advice from you both. Moved one of the legs one pixel to the left and further attempts to improve it were only making it worse. I think I need to just consider this set done and move on to others.
