Front facing Pompompurin isn't real and can't hurt you.... front facing Pompompurin ( • ﻌ • )
Soul staring gazes aside, truly over the years of doing pixel art I learn that top down really ain't all that bad! 16x16 characters in top down? Ok yeah that's still really not my favourite.
It's funny even just a few extra pixels, like 20 tall is much much nicer to work with. Don't even need a whole sprite tile increase in the height, just half n' half that much really.
I mean 22 would be nicer of course haha.
But overall, more top down practice is always good. Does make me wonder about doing a top down asset pack at some point for larger characters. Hmm...
