Ha, sixth post in a row! Being anti-cyclic to almost everyone else is sure weird. :lol:

Anyway, I've started to make some new poses for the upcoming preview. It's going slow, so don't expect more than... err, one or two? Anyway, here's what I've got so far. Since I'm crap at coming up with my own ideas, I'm letting the pictures on my favourite pin-up site (coughsuicidegirlscoughcough) inspire me.

Of course whenever I try to pose Antonia, all the things that don't quite work yet the way I'd like them to become painfully obvious. Although not perfect, I've done a good deal of work on the hips and shoulders and am pretty proud of what I've achieved. But the way the neck and head bend is so awful that I almost don't dare to do anything with them. The hands and feet are alright, but have some pretty ugly deformations in certain positions that I think can only be fixed by - wait for it - more JCMs. Furthermore, as you can see here, her knees are far to pointy.

On the other hand, she still only has a few sporadic expression morphs, and I think it may be time to get to work on the main phase of my big, evil plan: making a realistic Poser character that can convey emotions.

So I'd like to ask for your opinions again: should I do more work on perfecting her body rigging, or should I put that aside for now and start on an expression system (meaning a collection of morphs and a set of dials to drive them in a user-friendly way) for Antonia?
