[Nephron]

Finally got myself some super sculpey (hooray) and started working on this guy.

Still in the rough stages

I'd love to hear any suggestions/crits/comments you have.
Thanks for stopping by

It looks like he has two knees on his right leg. You should definitely fix that before going on with any detail work

[pijay-brown]

It's a very good start!!!Legs are a bit weird. The right one is maybe a bit too long, and his knee doesn't break enough (i don't know if i am clear)!

I guess you didn't fix the top of the legs with the body, there are holes.

Maybe you can adjust his movement, you could find a position, inclination more stronger...

Well done

Alright. I think I've got the right leg fixed. It was too long, and the knee needed moving, so I hope that's sorted now.
Other than that, just a few changes before fine detail.
As always, I'd love to hear any crits/comments.
Thanks for looking.

The cloth bits around his elbows look great. How tall is he?
Is this guy falling? Running? Falling while running? Any recent progress shots?

Nephron, the reason it still looks awkward is because his torso and hips are too straight. I know it might be a little late in the game to try and change it, but if you want to make it look like he is falling, move his right hip down more, and adjust his torso in the opposite direction. If you want it too look like he is running raise the right hip quite a bit, and lean the figure forward, raising the head slightly upward. Hey man, thats my 2 cents! Your proportions look good, and that area of fabric detail on the left arm is very good. Good luck!

Thanks for the input. I haven't posted in a while because I've been trying to decide what I thought was wrong with his posture, and I reckon you're right Wumpus, it was his upper body as much as his legs. So, I pulled down his mid section and repositioned the torso to the left a little and pushed his right leg up a tad. I think it made a big difference, but I'd like to hear what you think. I'd also have liked to twist the shoulders a little to the left and bring them foreward a bit, but the armature in the upper torso wasn't as flexible as the rest. Anyway, here it is in it's current state.

Oh, and Kahboom, from head to foot it's about 17cm.
Cheers

Score! Much better! Been a while since I've thought in cm... divide by 2.5, right? ;)
