GREAT BRITON in 3D (Poser stuff)

"...Also, I think the fact that the shot is pretty much perpendicular to GB makes it lack the usual depth your pieces have. Perhaps if he were tilted 10-20 degrees towards the viewer, there'd be more dynamism. ..."

OOOooohh.. I see. You mean if the cityscape were tilted a little bit, it would have a more dynamic look. That's a good idea and I might mess with it some (with Great Briton's approval, of course).

The single, most important question is, does the client like it? Does it fit the commission? (..) As long as he's happy, I consider the piece a success.

Now, I've never seen GB's butt, but I'm gonna assume it's not angular, or those quarters wouldn't bounce off properly.

You're the artist, chief - I'm just stoked you're working on a GB pic! LOL!

I actually meant him, relative to the camera, so it'd be more like he's flying up/right and towards the camera. That way he's "moving" three-dimensionally, rather than simply 2D (i.e., diagonally up and right).

Tilting the city may work as well. I'm not really sure how you've got things set up over there.

*edit* Actually, checking it out again, you're right. Tilting the city could help, too.

I blame ignorance due to your fancy New World lingo.

At long last, I present to you "Great Briton". He was described to me as the British version of Statesman, so I knew from the start I wanted a strong pose that showed a lot of direction and determination. Since he's a flyer, that made the choice fairly simple.

Ah, the old "flex'n'fly." It's nice to see some old school heroes still keepin' it real.

Why must you continue to taunt me with your awesomeness?! I'm still saving up for mine! I'm still saving! Why must it take so long? This is torture!

Based on feedback, I've made some improvements to the piece;

- Angled the background a little for more dynamics.

- Stretched the lead arm out some to get rid of the 'flex' look.

- Altered the belt to match the in-game version

- Got rid of the boot line and changed the outfit to a one-piece

- Rounded his gluteous maximus (butt muscles)

New versions;

Aww, you changed the whole picture...was gonna use the old link for comparison. As far as I can tell it looks much better. I was kinda with the square butt thing too when I first saw it. I did like the boots though...

It is amazing how slight changes can make or break the overall quality of a picture. The 2nd version is far superior in terms of impact. As always great job!
