A little exercise in posing and perspective

[dvandom]

While waiting for the putty on my current kitbash to cure enough to do some more tinkering, I was inspired by discussion elsewhere to try this pic (discussion was friendlocked, so I'm not giving any more details than that).



My initial plan was for an even more worms-eye perspective, but I couldn't get the legs to work at all in that. I redrew the legs and arms several times, but probably should've put a little more thought into the torso too. :) I used a white paint marker for some of the final highlighting on the yellow bars. I kinda wish I had an amber pen so I could've inked the construct rather than using a marker, ah well. One of those things I'd have done in Photoshop if I had Photoshop. Take Sinestro (or whoever has his ring at the moment) as being off-screen. If you're curious, I used Prismacolors of buff, sand and cinnamon for the shading behind the construct.

Edit: Oh, and the pose was done without any reference. :)

The character is named Parity, and without going into more detail, the creator has permission to use this pic however he wants. :) I'll let him reveal anything else in discussion if he wants.


Now, off to generate more putty dust!

Poor Parity...

I'm glad Parity's fictional, because were she real and were I responsible for half the trouble she's been in, I'd be playing the part of Iron Man as the emerald titan took my head off. :)

Thank you!

Erm... Escher does caged superhero?

The cage doesn't require any Escher tricks, it's simply transparent.
