Title: Perspective on Simplistic BG
Post by: EdLoen on Wed 01/04/2009 04:42:08
I need help to know if the wall is in perspective.  It could just be the Stamp-like, bold outline style I chose to do the backgrounds in,  but that wall is bothering me.

Any way I can keep the line weights and have the lines look right?

(A note: the left wall wont be shown, I decided that the background style, I can ommit it cause the idea of it is there same with the ceiling)

Here's the first BG that I did so you can see kind of what I'm going for:

and maybe any tips on that one too?

Yes, the perspective is definately off. I'm having trouble understanding the right wall. I assume there's a doorway there.

Here's what I came up with using perspective lines.

You should really use perspective lines. It's quite easy if you're using software that supports layers.
There should be plenty of tutorials describing how to do it.

Yeah, your bold pixelly 8x4 blocks are screwing with the perspective. You could fake it by making the top of the door (?) completely straight, following the horizon line. It's the only way I can think of cheating it keeping that style.

or what the guy above me did.
