Beast’s Basic Body
I did a fair bit of reposing on Beast 09's lower half so far, and it's hardly done, but I figured I'd mock him up a little and take some photos to check myself.
Beast's left leg (the leading one) was hacked at the knee and turned outwards to match the source image. I figure that has to be where he's jointed, anyway, since the ankle design allows for basically no rotation whatsoever (other than up-down) if you actually look at it. The trailing leg was hacked at the ankle and reposed a bit to be more compressed, as though the jack were leaning most of its weight on that point. I need to do some greenstuff repairs on some parts, but on the whole, I'm pretty pleased with how the pose is working so far. A 1:1 match with the art is probably unreasonable, given the source model's limitations, but I think I'll be able to pull off something close enough that there won't be any question at all.
