Hi again! :D Hm. If you wanted to get very technical you’d set up a 3D scene, say in Blender, and place a character dead center and make the camera isometric, that should give you the correct measurements. Or copy any isometric sprites from gameboy advance games. My sprites are usually so small and so stylized that it’s enough to make their feet align to the diagonals.
There is some foreshortening, but it’s the same amount you find in overhead sprites (for example pokemon sprites). In fact, the way for me to check if I’m doing a good job is to create a turnaround animation of a character in all 8 directions and play it continuously until I spot most of the mistakes.
Thanks for the question! I make them pixel by pixel. Now I know this sounds masochistic, and it is. But it also easier than shrinking high-rez art into pixelart and then trying to fix the ugly mess. Get into the habit of working at the actual resolution!
I’m not involved. They didn’t want me on the team, and didn’t like my art, so they let me go. It may be for the best, since I didn’t like the sexism that’s evidently going into the game.

do I even know you? Also, I’m not a dame, I’ve never been knighted. If you’ve been sexist in the past, and I’ve patiently explained to you the ways in which that’s hurtful, then yes, I’m pretty much the same.
wouldn’t you like to know
it will, and you totally don’t need to buy it, you can just enter 0$. Thank you <3
I now have a patreon. Come engage with me as I live out my passion for pixel art.
so starvinghippos and I have a project to do and the topic is related to equality in the videogame industry that’s due really soon, so we made a survey for people to complete that will really help with our research.

Emma Watson threatened with nude photo leak over UN speech on gender equality
Because of course she was.
(via wilwheaton)
it’s disturbing to note it’s not just harassment, it’s gendered violence. Because obviously they could disagree and call her non-gendered insults until they were blue in the face, but that’s not enough. They like to dehumanize their victims. Even if Emma Watson or Quinn or myself didn’t mind having our naked photos leaked, they’d still post those, because that’s appropriate punishment in their minds. Not intellectual defeat, but backhanded, immoral efforts to humiliate.
I self-identify as a feminist. I self-identify as an SJW. I’ve been on some 4chan lists (I mean who hasn’t but still). I am involved in some short- and long-term initiatives to improve diversity in the videogame industry.
Also, I struggle to cope with a lot of ideas about minorities that have…
