the history behind it and why it was posted. just google it for once

>> No.3292175

The original is fucking shit. The pose has absolutely no appeal. If you made it into a silhouette, you wouldn't know what the fuck was going on, he could be jacking off for all the info you'd get from the silhouette.

If he's trying to be a big scary soldier, then his feet should be planted wide, his head low, his eyes glowering, his gun hanging loose on a sling with barely a touch to steady it.

And if he's trying to be a casually scary soldier, his pelvis should be angled forward so he's in an easy arc of motion, and the gun should be dangling on a sling with not a single hand on it.

Also the uniform is unrealistic and stupid looking.

what's the best resource to learn how to draw more appealing poses?

and how to design uniform/armor that actually does look cool?

The best resource is photos and real life of course, but not explicitly.

When you draw a pose there is usually a line of motion. A person standing proudly will have a big arc along their spine so their head and feet are in line but their pelvis is forward, with the spine and legs curving away. Fighting poses often have long lines of motion, or very closed in like a hunch.

Basically, focus on finding a line of motion. Also, ALWAYS show hands unless you have a good artistic reason to not. Hands in pockets works for a shy or casual pose but hands should be visible when in other poses. Also, head angle is really important. Tip it backwards if a character is proud and aloof. Tilt it downwards when they are sad or angry. Turn t it sideways to give a pose direction, and cock it to give it quizzical flare. Heads should almost never be in a flat state.

As for uniforms, STUDY ACTUAL SOLDIERS. Thigh armor almost never appears. Helmets are an absolute must. Most soldiers only wear vests as body armor,extra armor is too hot and heavy. Magazine pouches should be present and on the chest. Knives are usually kept on the belt or vest. Pistols go on the thigh, hip or chest. SOLDIERS USE SLINGS ON THEIR RIFLES.

people always ask 'show your work' so you post this guy. it's so bland but so inline with /ic/'s (old) values that it's like idk a rebuttal so right that it's super ironic and thus funny.

There are oak trees that are less wooden than these poses. What is with the main guy's gun? He's just hauling it up with biceps alone? And who is he sweeping with the barrel? Probably a bunch of civvies who don't need to be swept

Died out, maybe because all OP used to do was post the thread and move on, and without drama it seems like generals don't live for long.

Also because there was always a fag or two derailing the thread.
