Title: Pixeljoint weekly challenge entry - 'Ancient Chill-out',
Post by: `Rob on March 24, 2008, 09:19:53 pm

Hola,

Here's an early W.I.P, really need some help with the pose  :yell:

The idea is Herme's the messenger to the gods travelling a hell of a long way to a post box, looking extremely exhausted and frustraited, with the picture quoting "Wait until he finds out he's forgot the stamp."

The pose is really annoying as i can't seem to get it looking correctly for a start, nevermind polished or finished.

The pallete limitations are 12 colours, with the size being 128 X 90, what it is there.

Any help would be brilliant, whether it be through text or edits,
    Thanks, Rob.

Yeah, the pose really need some changes. Currently he looks more like he's rocking out on a metal concert.
If you want him exhausted, why not let him go through his knees a slight bit, and then let his arms grab his knees for support.
A bit like:

Just for reference. Maybe a bit less extreme. And then make him look upward with an angry or pissed off face?
Just an idea :)
Keep going.
