*drawer problem fixed*



Here is another background I am working on, it's still unfinished because there seems to be something wrong with the perspective. I got different vanishing points that are crossing in the center of the picture. Especially the cupboard and its drawers look weird to me (take a look at the pictures with different positions of opened and closed drawers).

Et voilá:



and here are the different combinations of drawer positions:

#1 , #2

I made a scheme of the vanishing points in this picture, you can get it here.

Here is my attempt to create a sewer, I would appreciate your c & c to this background. I would like to keep it simple but a little more detail would make it more attractive to the viewer / player I guess... still I don't know where to start with the extra shading and pixel-textures.

I try to create a background with a few objects... it's a work in progress version as you see. First question is: What would you change so far (colours, perspectives and so on..)? Second question: How do you get Ã, details into backgrounds, what should I do? I tried to add a few shadows but they didn't look so good as on characters, so I removed most of them.

With Photoshop I drew some pixel graphics of a character with a resolution of about 50x70px and 256 colors (or even less). I tried to make my character look a bit like Tim Burton's "Vincent", in fact also with a weird hairstyle, striped sweater and so on.

Now that I created the front view I tried to draw the other perspectives, side and back. I am not very happy with the result of the side view because it makes the character's face look flat and his chin seems to be wrong. I can't figure out how to manage this...

Further more I got a big (or should I say huge) problem with walking animations. Sometimes one foot seems to stuck in the ground and the other one is too big in relation to the feet when standing (look at the side view, that's the way they should be).

I personally like the big head in comparison to the almost small body and tiny feet. I wouldn't say that I don't want to change that if its neccassary to make the character look better (YOU are the professionals, not me) but I just want to mention that it's not only a coincidence.

However, it would be really great if you guys could help me to fix the side view and the animations - or tell me what's wrong. As I said I tried my best and these cheap animations are all I could do so far.

btw: what do you think of the character in general?
okay, now I stop talking, it's your turn...





I would appreciate when you ignore the speed of the animations - I know they run too fast but that's only a problem of the .gif ani.
