Question about axis

[O Ilusionista]

Hi guys, I have a doubt about an axis placement and I wanna hear from your opinions.

Which axis is better:

A)

(aligned with the left leg)

B)

(aligned at the center of both legs)

Each one has pros and cons, so feedback is welcome.

[Jesuszilla]

I'd say B. You want the axis to be closer to where most of the body is.

[O Ilusionista]

Yeah, I think the same, I just don't like the space that will be present from the leg to the shadow

[Jmorphman]

Shadow offset could be used to mitigate (but maybe no totally eliminate) it.

[O Ilusionista]

Yeah I know. I was afraid of the result but I think it had worked:

His right leg shadow bothers me a tad but I know its not possible to totally eliminate it.

Thanks.

i had this problem with somes chars like wolverine,


i preffer A, with somes shadows B may look like floating

[Odb718]

Often there's a dominant, or planted leg. One that the character pivots on more often. I'd say look at that and then decide.
But I'd say in between A and B. Closer to B.

I'd think A would be more compatible with more stages. You dont want his foot in the air because it's too far in the background. Something to consider.
