Faeldspr's Top-Down Sprites

[Jamuk]

You need to show that the back (especially at the shoulders) is above the tail and the head is even higher (when standing, not running). The tail should be darker and the head brighter while the neck should not be as dark as it looks now. There still is too little contrast between your shades, especially for the yellow and orange.

There we go, I've done what you said apart from that I tidied the tail up a bit, as I figured it would be raised for balance or kept level with the body. The neck will never be stretched out that far so I think I'm done with it now. I can make a different shade for the head when it runs. Only thing is, I'm not quite sure how to produce a realistic walking motion with the legs. Tips?
