Poser is indeed a 12-step program.

Step 1: Take out your wallet ...

Gloria Gast's site, Poser Junction, has free lion poses (link above).

Bloodsong's site, 3D Menagerie, has great lion stuff (morphs, poses, remapped textures, transmaps, a poseable jaw) plus the Big Face Tiger itself.

Schlabber's site, Posing is an art 3, has some combined poses with Posette, both in his regular download section and his archives.

Hope these help. And if that's unfinished, I can't wait to see the final product.

(on an unrelated note: does anyone know how to insert multiple links in a single post?)
