Calling For Extreme Poses

[Rabid]

I have recently embarked on a study of 300 extreme poses to hone my skills. But I'm running out of photos/ model references!

I need your help!

Plz send me any photos of extreme poses! The more akward the better! Try to steer away from traditional situations of extreme poses such as BMX biking because Iv'e seen/drawn a million of em. No fish eyes...thats cheating!;) Anything from mid air jumps to akward reclined figures! More than one person in a photo is a +
More than one person with a situational story background is even a bigger ++! ex. (Bar Fight)

Good example is Marko D's pose 8 of 15 in the front page gallery!

Props can be included...if not I might even add them!
These photos do not have to be nude! I will most likely add imaginative costumes and props anyways....
All photos will be complete confidential and will be erased after reference is no longer needed.

Plz include your name/names for credit in the sketch titles!
Grateful for anything you send!

How about I borrow the wife's truck, you tie yourself solid to the bed of it with a couple motorized cameras, and we go through Downtown at lunch hour?

You just have to show me how to turn the truck on and which pedal is which...:$

Carson Street Carson Street!!! lmao!

[Ilaekae]

YES!!!!!

I grew up there and I hate what the bastards have done to it. Pick the day...<3 >:|

So when you say Extreme Poses,
do you mean in the over-the-top posing Jack Kirby sense,
or the mid-90's sort of extreme,
as in
"Extreme, gnarly dude! You just shredded tubularly!"

[Rabid]

Make jack kirby wet his pants......

hmmm.
Have you googled Yoga Positions yet?

[Rabid]

No, but I would prefer something original that I can play with. Poses that people wont see and say "oh thats yoga!" I want poses that I can create a scene around...expression and poses with a value to them...

http://images.google.com/images?q=capoeira&svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&start=21&sa=N

Although it may have similar issues to that of the yoga photos ( of recognize-ability )

[Rabid]

This is exactly what I'm looking for.....and lots of it. Capoeira huh? Sounds dangerous ;)

This is perfect! It should turn some heads...considering the only thing that sells it is the pants tie...
