The artist and I had this discussion already.
The first images he presented me were way off perspective wise. I thought he didn't know how to draw perspective correctly, but then he pointed out that I'd asked for a Monkey Island style for the backgrounds. I had, but what I didn't recall was that Monkey Island has little respect for perspective!
There was an extreme example he showed me where a log was on the ground and covering half the width of the screen down the center, but you could see the detail on BOTH ends of the log, even though neither were in a location where perspective would have allowed you to see them.
So, basically, I nudged him towards a more traditional perspective, but left the door open for compromise where things looked odd. The vertical lines for example, like those of the back wall, should be tilted out to the left and right, but it looked odd that way to me, so I had him go with a more isometric view for the lower half of the image, and fake the perspective on the ceiling so you could see it.
The top of the ice cream poster there is a bit off I suppose, considering it is supposed to match that of the wall it is on.
