Creative ways to show legs and footwear
Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2017 6:23 am
When you desing a full body character, you want to get the most from it, without wasting something as important as legs, the borders of pants or skirt, maybe it has plot-important boots or its trait could be being low-half naked. How can you accomplish to show your character face at a good size and still showing what it has under his/her belt?
I want to open this thread with a couple of my ideas.
1. Draw your character as a chibi, so it fits the screen, or just a kids VN where characters have naturally big heads and short height. Align your text to be shown at the sides instead of up or down, to enable more space for the full body display, investing your precious landscape horizontality.
2. Show a window (rectangle) with a zoomed picture of the relevant part. This way you have enough space and it could be even your character nape so this option is great for few important components but not the whole under desing.
Your turn.
