It hasn't been easy, but I got to play around with Vicki and the Spear again for about an hour. This pose is getting close to being OK I think. It is hard to know for sure because the original Schlabber pose featured a woman wearing a bear skin....I think the woman is actually holding onto her bear skin at times. There aren't as many clothes to work with here. So I need to figure what looks good, or needs to be changed, etc. One thing I have learned here is to increase the resolution for rendering, etc. Vicki looks a lot more lifelike, I think. I am not bothering with backgrounds or sets till I get a better handle on the poses. I am adding poses to my own library as I go along in case I get something worth keeping. What do you think? Am I anywhere in the ballpark?

Here is a closer view. It seems almost impossible to give Vicki a tighter grip on the spear, no matter how much I fiddle with her hands, fingers, etc. Sometimes it ends up melding her fingers into the spear...That must hurt.

Ouch... what is wroing with her left thumb?

OOPs I need to check that out.

This is a shot of Vickie the spear-wielding housewife. It took all of about 5 minutes. Here's the receipe: 1. Apply Vickie's fist hand pose. 2. Place spear in center of fist. 3. Adjust hand & fingers to taste. 4. Parent spear to hand.

OOOH It is that easy!!! Wow. I will try that myself... Thanks

I think this looks better, don't you?

Oh - don't worry - I hope soon the Vicky - spear - poses are up ... then it should be easier ... lol

Wow.... One of these days I also want to buy your CD. I've seen what was on your site, and the CD's just more, better stuff, right?!
