[[Full body]] [[standing]] drawing of a [[solo|character]] on a [[simple background]].

Aside from the regular tachi-e used in story mode, many gacha games' skin illustration will also have a tachi-e aesthetic, thus they sometimes also come with a [[faux figurine]] counterpart, usually being its evolved form. A clean character art removed from a faux figurine will also likely become a tachi-e if the character is standing, if they're sitting it's [[invisible chair]] instead.

When tagging, use the following rule of thumb: if you can slap an image onto the random background, add a textbox and the result will look like [[fake screenshot]] it should probably be considered a Tachi-e.

Good examples:

* pool #11851
* pool #7005
* post #3466244 (not limited to [[game cg]])
* post #2922420 (easily removable background also counts)

Tachi-e is [b]not[/b] applicable if image:

* Has more than one instance of the character ([[turnaround]]s, [[reference sheet]]s, [[multiple views]], [[variations]], [[expressions]], etc...): post #3490670, post #2195716, post #3213462, post #2538995, post #2288278
* Has non [[simple background|simple]] or non [[transparent background]]s ([[zoom layer]]s, [[gradient background]], etc..): post #2925837 (vs post #2951458), post #4133229 (vs post #4133230), post #4028183, post #4151481
* Is a [[character profile]] or featuring character [[stats]]
* Is a [[faux figurine]] or a [[dakimakura (medium)|]]
* Has a tachi-e within [[screenshot]]s or [[fake screenshot]]s: post #818170,  post #1713628
* Has an extra [[outline]]: post #3589935 (vs post #3589913)

Tachi-e originated as character art you could use in [[visual novel|vn]]/adventure games as a means of cutting budget. Often this is a [[looking_at_viewer|front-facing]] [[game_cg|character sprite]] used during conversations with various prepared expressions and poses that can be switched as it flows. It does not strictly require your character to be standing, nor be [[full body]] (e.g. from the [[cowboy_shot|knee]] or [[upper_body|waist]] up), as long as art is reusable enough - it should qualify.
