Faeldspr's Top-Down Sprites

[Hoeloe]

This is an incredibly bad example, partially because your lineart is very awkward and it's hard to understand what exactly you were going for (particularly at the head and tip of the tail), and partly because I just suck at top-down sprites. However, it does demonstrate that it is possible to shade something like this without resorting to pillow shading, and still having the lightsource as top-down.



Note that I attempted to use the shading to show the shape of the sprite, not just to shade down the edges.
