Study Task 5 - Strike a pose

By using our own reference of ourselves we had to pose the moon model and rig to look at the use of live reference. I really enjoyed this task because i could either make the poses really exaggerated and over the top, or i could make the have a really subtle feel and be rather atmospheric.

The first pose i did was anxiety for this i wanted to amplify the insecurity and stress that is felt so i worked with the idea that when a person is anxious they try to become invisible and avoid the situation so i made my moom hunched and sitting to make him a lot smaller this amplified his feelings of inferiority.

This one was fun. Cruelty. In this case cruelty to another person and finding enjoyment out of it. Unlike the previous one i really over exaggerated the expression because i imagined the moom to be sadistic and flamboyant, and finding pleasure in this cruel act.


This was a really simple one but one that i think was very effective. For happiness i can imagine  lot of people doing laughter or over the top grins. But thinking to my own experiences I thought a humble happiness would be more interesting and preferable, it meant for a pose that wasn't very extreme but gets across a feeling of genuine emotion that i can relate to.


Amusement is probably my worst, it would probably look better if it was animated as its supposed to be moom crouching on the ground, buckled over and laughing while smacking the ground. It didn't feel very real and was just a little too exaggerated.

I think with timidity it shows well in the body language, almost as if moom is putting up a front with a timid little smile but agin like with anxiety, its making its self smaller agin, bringing its limbs in and  moving them back to a defensive position. I could of taken better photos and lighting here.
