Help me pose a character

[Maxmate]

I wan't to pose this troll character but I truly suck at posing. How would you guys improve his pose? It's not very strong from any angle. I want to render this guy in 3ds MAX from a good angle.

[rouncer]

Awesome model, I dunno the pose looks ok to me, maybe you need someone more critical than me.

[Victorcg]

Great model! I think he needs the bottle of something "strong" in his hand

[mirrored]

Try this.




see ya,

Something like what mirrored posted would work well. You wouldn't need to go that far necessarily, but he should definitely have a firm grip on the cane and it should be in front of him for support. Unless you're going for rat pack style dance position, in which case I think you're on the right track. A goblin crooner is a pretty interesting idea actually.

Thanks y'all!

Mirrored what's that word in brackets? Fruit?

and it should be in front of him for support.

Yeah the cane could look better in front of him cause he's so old.

[karysino]

nice look he had in his face.

[mirrored]

Hi, yeah, that one says Fruit, just a quick idea, just something to hold. Make a good use for that good looking cane.

I think the pose needs to look like he really needs that cane, looks to much strong and healthy for me right now, but if you are happy, go with it.

I think the cane needs to be behind him because I want him to look like he's approaching the camera.

THe line of gravity I believe should be near the cane. I think he should be leaning into the cane or make it look like he's pushing the cane more. The cane in front would still look like he's moving forward. Right now it seems like he is in a relaxed standing pose, almost like a statue. Maybe lowering the head so its near the center of the composition might push the image too. THese are just suggestions though, great model.

Nice character. Love his mimic.
Can you tell me how old he should look like?
Seeing this cane makes me think he´s well advanced in years...
If so I think IMHO you should add more wrinkles on the entire body and especially on the hands. That would let him look older... if this is what you´re going for?
Just an idea.

womball has a point..he looks young this way..head up high and a big smile.
I would go for a troll that has gravity against him: neck bend, head down, bent knees and if he smiles (i mean..he is a troll for crying out loud) it should be a smile that wishes you die young..
