I think just the textures on that model would need a lot of work to look good. I avoid birds because I can never get the feathers to look right. But I am sure it could work if you rig the face to give Howard's infamous scowl.

No I'm not worried about realism. It would be fine to mix realism with toon looks. In fact I could make Howard the Duck be a rubber duckie endowed with sentience, or even better an Ostrich ( Summoner's Ostrich figure) that chooses to identify as a duck. Which would actually fit the peculiar slant of all this. I don't know, just woolgathering. Solomon Grundy will be more difficult, but I'd use M4 for that. I just bought M4 valiant outfit which I think I could convert to tattered rags pants and shirt via transmaps. You can paint transmaps live in mudbox via the transparency channel with the painting tools. They're the Poser type transmaps.

Anyway, these are things I would need for just a few images. Just collecting stuff for down the road. I had a hell of a time finding a semi decent free Polaroid instant camera model... Money has been a bit tight lately for Poser stuff so I'll have to make due on a lot of things. Which is ok, the plot flexibilty means I can change things as needed and get super kitschy if I have to. Actually preferred. The worst possible thing is to try and make something all serious and fail miserably without being aware of it. That only really works by accident in the "so bad it's good" scenario.
