Title: [WIP] Time To Die
Post by: pixelblink on April 19, 2007, 09:25:10 pm

He's leaning in for the final kill with his head turned towards his prey, his weapon pulled back, and I imagine him having a bit of sneak-like stance
I always start with faces as it's my strong point. The upper body sketch looks good to me, but when I get to the lower torso, I just can't seem to get the stance right. Need some help.. feel free to edit.
The progress:

I'm pretty bad at anatomy myself but imo the uppder body and the legs just have a too big angly between them. and if he's looking in direction of his legs anyway, why would he turn his body so far? I understand a certain degree of turn to make something like him leaning to a wall while walking, but I don't think a character with mostly human anatomy could turn his torso so far away..

I feel ya man. Perhaps it is a bit extreme a pose... tamed it down somewhat. Cleaned up the lines and some more definition on the legs. This is very much out of my comfort zone - from basic anatomy to the hair. Would love to hear some more thoughts from the experts :)
