So Edgeworth’s Shoulder Width (along With Other Characters In The Early Games) Has Been A Long Topic

So Edgeworth’s shoulder width (along with other characters in the early games) has been a long topic of discussion. I was curious, and it turns out that on his front-faceing sprite, they’re 1.5x the size of his head. Now, for most people, the width of each shoulder is about the same width as your face, that’s one of those anatomy tricks that artists use to keep people looking, well, proportional. So I wanted to see what he looked like with “normal” proportions.

Here’s his in-game sprite:

Here he is with corrected proportions:

Like, he actually looks like a young adult here, holy shit. They could probably even be a bit wider than this and still not make him look like he stepped out of an early 2000′s yaoi manga.

And then, since I was already editing this sprite, the next logical step was, of course, widening.

And again, for good measure.
