First 'pose' - need feedback

Webhead, I rechecked his proportions with a head count and his legs are close to correct, maybe his upper thigh is too big that makes the lower one look too short?
I don’t really see it, but I’ve been looking at him too long to notice anyways. :slight_smile:

Thanks again

love the anatomical volumes on the model! cheers!:slight_smile:

Thank you very much JHK3D!

Very nice work! I like the anatomy, and have just a few crits

1- The pose = He needs a bit more forward balance IMO, so it looks like he is about to take off sprinting, or ready to run at that moment. A little hunch forward and the hips slightly more forward, you should be there.

2- The body proportions = I agree he should be athletic, even muscular, but for a runner he is too thick. I think you should go down to level 1 and use the move brush to adjust proportions. Slim him out just a bit, he can be ripped, but this guy is body builder big.

Would you mind posting the base mesh?

other than that its awesome work. Looking forward to seeing it develop. :+1:

Aberrant, Thanks for the comments. Yeah you’re right (as other mentioned), I should slim him down a bit. I did try a few times but it didn’t look right… Maybe because I’ve been seeing him this way for too long. :slight_smile:

I'm going to take a break from him awhile and possible come back and fix the things mentioned. I'm a bit tired of him right now.

This is just renders in Zbrush combined. The rock has too much specular but anyways.
I tried doing some renders in Maya but it was acting up so I gave up and just did it in Zbrush. I think it still looks decent.

Great work on everything. I know how it is to stare at something so long. Its always good to have a few projects to bounce between.

:confused:

What’s wrong with the pose? Maybe he’s The Flash in a relaxed and reflective mood?

Everything you’ve said is very subjective. I really don’t see the point in offering this kind of criticism.

and here’s The Flash from the comic:

You should tell DC to slim him down a little!

ps - And from now on you should always post in a purple font because I think your posts would look far better in purple.

Yes what I said is subjective, hence the "IMO" meaning in my opinion. You may not find any point to this kind of criticism, however [Evillair](http://www.zbrushcentral.com/member.php?u=55922) seemed to appreciate it.

I never said anything was incorrect, it was all a matter of opinion. And yes, the link you provided shows an image of a very large Flash. Here are a few where he looks more slim. I guess DC did slim it down.

“ps - And from now on you should always post in a purple font because I think your posts would look far better in purple.” - splodge my post colors look just fine as default colors, you can try the purple out if you like it so much.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Splodge I was not able to find any artwork in any of your threads. It makes me curious…
