Rules
1. Base direction
The base direction is left to right just for neat.
WOWS warships always facing right, so that is why all character standing left side.
2. Character pose direction
Character have many pose in different case.
Almost character is facing and posing one way, but in some case it will not like this.
Königsberg in 戰艦少女 is an case that facing right but posing left, and in this case I will try to catch character's focus direction to choose whether to flip.
3. Equipment set
Some times shipgirls have huge equipment for her, and which is unique.
Graf Zeppelin in 艦隊收藏 is a case.
So I decide to use original image without flip, that cause character facing left.
4. Character size
Head to top. Absolute region to bottom. Main rule like above, with additional rules like below
- Head in 1/3 image height.
- If character not standing, try to show thigh or skirt end.
- If character wearing long clothes like kimono, try to let thigh to bottom.
- If character is 幼(child)女(girl), try to fit rule above but not necessary.
Richelieu in 艦隊收藏 is a general case.
Facing and posing one direction and equipment also setting same direction, only need to flip to fit point 1 above.
