Hi all for the new year I have decided to drop World of Warcraft as its been draining my life and creativity for the past 5 or so years and concentrate on doing a load of animation in Blender and developing my character animation skills.
I have looked at the Animation Mentor reels on youtube and noticed that they have the rig in dynamic poses showing as Keith Lango would say the all important pose.
I am using an adaption of Red Nelb. I’m intending to try and do one of these static poses per day just to practice my animation poses.
Perhaps moving his head to look at what he is about to smash is a good idea. You could also push the pose some. Glad to see this work coming from you, I was a bit disappointed when you posted 2 depression images. But I’m glad to see you change! The thing is, you’ve stopped posting mood pictures and started doing action poses. While they are good exercises, it’s not the same as showing happiness or anger. Both of your new pictures have no emotion that I can tell. Just suggesting.
Make him hitting something. Like a beach ball. The first character test the weta digital people did (people who did lotr) of the cave troll was him hitting a beach ball with his giant mace-thing.
