It took me about a year to break my addiction to canned poses.  Yup yup.  Granted i still use them, but only as a base if its close to what i want and work from there.

Then again the dial "bend" works too.

I've still yet to use V4 in a render, I'm not satisfied....... not with the figure, but my own ability.  My ability must catch up to the new model in my presence, and when it does, then we'll see what she can do lol.
