tantrikk,Don't think of it as a struggle,but as a refinement. Pose files free or purchased get your figures close to where you want them to be and most people leave it at that. It's when you take the extra effort, as you are,that makes for a more "realistic"image.I've seen your images before in the gallery,and your "stuggle",as you call it,sets them apart from most of the unnatural stick-up-their-ass looking images found there. Your use of light is among the best I've seen. As far as a utility to help you refine your poses...I know of only one..a mirror. SWAMP
