Darktiste Sketchbook

Hello Darktiste! You've been doing a bunch of different things since we last met.
For this last Blender piece, how would you feel about making the character less symmetrical, with one arm slightly raised and the torso slightly bent sideways? For the dynamics.

I had other goal in mind if you read a few post back. For me dynamic come mostly in the form good use of design language.

I am not a character designer my aim is not to search how a character move or how they behave even if it influence my design decision they are not what i task myself to portrait. Even if i do give that the this resemble full body armor resemble a character and some of my past include character design i more into costume design and props design. The symmetry serve a purpose that can be otherwise obscure by overlapping.

I can understand the idea that what i said come have been interpreted somehow that my presentation was lifeless and you associated that with leak of gesture but i meant something different. This statement was not aim at the dynamism of the pose i meant something closer to presenting the design in a fashion where the subject is no longer flat but occupy space where we can see the design in a bigger range of angle so that the design come alive in away. A bit like seeing an inanimate object but from a fix point in space will it rotate on itself. The idea of the object occupying a 3D space make it more relatable than a orthographic representation that atleast what the animation part was trying to explore.
