The B command views your character from the front, but it only seems to work while you're running or standing still; walking requires you to hold the Shift key, which negates the use of the B key for some reason. So I had to pan the camera 180 degrees while Emerald was walking, and the camera rotation could only be done by click-and-holding with the mouse.

So with my left hand controlling Emerald's walking and my right hand controlling the camera, how did I mash the Print Screen button and take the screenshot as soon as the moment was right?

I bent down and pressed the key with my nose, that's how.

And it still took three takes to get the shot just right, too.

The things I have to do for my art....

While I by no means want to negate the hard nose-work that goes into this, I'm pretty sure there's a useropts option to either force the camera in a specific place (thereby negating the need to nose!) or at least to disable the auto chase when you run.

I'll have to go through to see if I can find it, if it even exists. Fine work.
