perspective sprite

[gliding]

can someone help me out with this sprite's perspective. Its going to be semi-top down.

other c+c is also welcome

Its a nice start. There are some flaws  or inconsistencies in the perspective - i assume he is standing.  There is something making it look as though he is sitting.

I think mostly it is a lighting issue - particularly making the knees look as though they are bent.

Anyway try to clarify and exact position and then crits can be more useful (maybe find a pic from a similar perspective) heres a very rough edit to show some areas that might need fixing.



I've used the head as a lead and fore shortened the legs (the rest would need it too really e.g shorts and chest)

[gliding]

that makes sense, what if I were to darken the lighted area on the legs a bit and bring down the bottom of his pants?

Looks like an RPGMaker sprite with an edit

This sprite is fully custom.

how top down are you talking?

in my opninion it needs to be more like this...



a lot more perspective... I think pushing the lot together a bit more may help the character look a bit less tall (he looks about 7ft there dosn't it? - or at least really elongated) - point being... the lines need to taper down more...

like this maybe?

that perspective is a tad bit extreme for what I'm doing. I'm referring to the "semi top-down" perspective in which the character is nowhere near that extreme but still doesn't look like its head on

I've always regarded the name of that view as "3/4 view" or "3/4 top down".

Basically you have to do just what baccaman21 did, except orthographically, rather than in perspective.

Right... I get ya...

So that's not scaling the limbs down with tapered appearance.... (like I did initially) just cut out sections and squash them together - (like I did the second time)?

@baccaman21: yeah, there's no tapering, basically, just shortening on the Y axis, none on the X.
