I'm definitely guilty of the high heeled feet with no shoes thing, but it's an aesthetic thing, as whoopdat mentioned, it's very typically 'pin up' and I like the look of it (and no, I don't have a foot fetish). I try to adjust the hands of my figures, especially if your eye gets drawn to the end of the arm, and I almost always adjust the feet so that they're on the floor (or whatever the figure it standing on) and not at an odd angle. I find that a lot with preset poses actually, the feet with be turned in a weird way, like the person is standing on the edge of their food... I do use pose sets as a basis, and I really like the partial pose sets I have and have seen. But as many have stated before, I use my pose presets as a starting point... only on rare occasions will I leave a pose exactly as it was made out of the box... I also try to view my figure from every angle to make sure that the weight of the figure is distributed correctly... unless of course I'm doing an image where the figure has been caught mid-action... shrug I always think that things look good when I'm done with them, but I always find other things later that I think could be fixed... I sometimes wish that I had a 'mentor' someone that could look over my shoulder, so to speak, and say "That's good, but try this.", at various stages along the way... it's what a good art teacher can do for you... I unfortunately only have my own eyes to guide me. :)
