I usually use photoshop but I cant achieve this shadow. so it will look 3D from above.

Hehe..I could probably do the shadow in After Effects using a tool called 3D fall-off.

well what I need is to make a 3D looking human/monster that will be 2D from the top.
I cant achieve such effect.
If you can tell me what program to use it would really help me.

Its possible to draw 3D looking objects directly in flash, I use flash much the same as I use photoshop and can get good results.
The best way I have found of doing things like this is to create a symbol, draw the character 2D, then create a layer called ‘Darker1’ and set the paint fill to black alpha 50% and to highlight the darker areas, then create ‘Darker2’, still black alpha 50% and then go over the even darker areas and so on.
You can then create layers called ‘Lighter1’, ‘Lighter2’, etc. and use 50% white.

Well I wanted to test out what you said but I cant draw a good 2D character.
it ends out not symmetrical and I cant make it look good.
Please help find me tutorials or any other resource that I can use to make this kind of graphic.
Thanks for all your help.

Tutorials won’t do you any good, in this case. The only thing that will help you is practice.

The only thing that really gives that character the illusion of three dimensions is the use of gradients for shading. Just play around with more subtle uses of gradients.

I tried to draw with all the tips you gave me but no success.
I am thinking about hiring an artist for this job.
Tell me if you know how to do it.

wow that looks hard
looks like some expensive programming to me.

I drew the guy in a cell shaded sort of fashion in flash. I didn’t bother using gradients because making them blend well with the eyes takes too long.
If you want the source I can upload it.
