Toolkit 2 - Moom Poses
In this exercise I experimented with various poses for the already rigged model. I tried out various poses from mostly sports while still trying to remain varied to even a knight duel for further experimentation. I had pose not just the limbs but also fingers to add details to the character, adjust the neck, tilt their head to detail the posture and act. Make it seem more lifely. I also chose the poses because I felt there was some ambiguity to the expression and action of the character. Is he running and excising or running in fear?

Okay - so, my first impression of your thumbnails is that you've a ) done an interesting thing but b) got stuck. Your research into Hicks' influences have given you all that ancient architecture, which is interesting, but it does seem as if you've sort of forgotten to keep looking at what your artist is doing too. You're sort of dressing up those architectural forms in textile elements - which is certainly one approach - but if Sheila Hicks was thinking about architectural structures, do you think she'd be as interested in all that solid, blocky stuff, or do you think she might be interested in more organic forms inspired by the work she actually makes? For example...

I think you could consider taking the forms/shapes etc we associate with Peruvian architecture etc, but then I think you need to think about how your artist might approach structures - I just can't see her working with great big chunks of stone. When I look at your later thumbnails - 84, 85, 89, 90 - they're beginning to be more blended and interesting, where the forms themselves are more 'Hicks'. My feelings are you need to switch-up your thinking around this project - so you try and ask the question 'How would Hicks approach architecture?' as opposed to dressing up some existing architecture in Hicks' fabrics. Does that make sense? I also think, in terms of conceptualising your city, you need to stick more closely with Hicks' ideas - for example, I loved that bit of info you've found about her idea that art shouldn't be permanent, which suggests that maybe her What If Metropolis isn't monumental and 'forever' but more of a nomadic space that isn't expected to remain or last? (More 'Ersilla'?). So - my advice is to take a step back - without panic or stress - and just spend a bit more time with Hicks and her actual methods/ideas as you work up some new thumbnails in prep for the next stage of the project.
