Satisfaction

The theme for today's daily pose was "satisfied," as in full or the opposite of hungry. There's probably a better word for it, but I can't think of it right now. I used yet another Maya rig I found online. This one is called Sergio and it's a beautiful model with a pretty robust rig. Am I satisfied with this pose? Eh, it's okay, but he seems a tiny bit off balance.

He's contemplating seconds.

Fear Is the Mind Killer

The topic for today's daily pose was "fear." I chose to use another downloaded rig, which is called Generi. The inspiration for the pose is vaguely based off a shot from the original Diabolique film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot. In a key scene the protagonist clutches her weak heart in absolute terror. I had some trouble manipulating the fingers and couldn't get the hand clutching I was going after. Same thing with the hand on the wall. It doesn't look planted to the wall. I refused to miss my self-imposed deadline and go past midnight, so I left the problems unresolved.

I'm scared... of this terrible lighting.

Trepidation

"Trepidation" was the theme for today's daily pose. I wanted to use Maya this time around, so the character I chose to use is third version of a downloaded rig called IK Joe. I quickly modeled the diving board in Max and then imported it into the Maya scene. There's a subtle bend in the diving board, which turned out nice. I don't think I really hit the theme. To me, it's not screaming trepidation. But I'm out of time and it will have to do.

Here goes nothing.
