Emooi, for the pose you want something that tells a story and is somewhat dynamic but not too dynamic since you are just giving a concept for the modeler to model. I think what you have is something you shouldn't settle for. i don't understand what she is doing with either of her hands. I get that you want her to look sexy but the pose doesn't match the hand gesture. you really have to push the pose so you get some extreme angles. So, 1. the gesture is weak. if the gesture is weak then the whole thing will look really stiff. Life drawing instructors for quick sketch always say "push the pose" or "exaggerate 10 percent" when drawing the model. So, my critique would be to push the pose otherwise the result will be a very stiff, and vertical figure. 2.The proportions are off. Her hands look too small and the portion of her leg above the knee cap is perhaps too long..making everything below look too small--even when the foot seems about right in proportion.
I hope this helps you produce something you can say you like. Cheers to getting better for the both of us.
oh for the kind of pose you want you could seriously just watch a disney movie which has an evil character and then you'd have a pretty good idea of how to go about it. Just think about gesture and what implies evil-ness. Usually you have to break up categories for evil for what makes this evil person. Like, they could be powerful and evil and therefore you have another element to play with. Some philosophers say that evil is the depravation of good and good is substance. In thinking in those terms then you'd have to add positive traits, and not just evil otherwise you'd come up with really nothing (since all the good things in evil are what make it interesting and provide structure.) So, since you want her to be seductive and evil, you need to think what makes a person sexy. it usually isn't just "they are sexy" and that's that, but there are reasons, or certain characteristics (broad hips, curvy, loose clothing in certain areas and really tight clothing in others to show form) for why they are sexy and evil. what I think it boils down to when capturing a convincing pose that tells the story is that you have to see the thing as a whole instead of pieces. And that's where good drawing skills come in. As Bridgeman would say, you need the right amount of curves and the right amount of straights to accurately tell the story. So, perhaps in telling the story it would be good to think about as many characteristics as possible so that you have more of an idea of how to tell the story to add perspective. Play around with the head position. maybe add a tilt, just make sure it tells a story. :)
