personal recommendations:
Onua: forget the hammer. it’s unwieldy and stinks as a weapon and as a hammer. So, with the claws, point them with the open side towards the front, and bend the arms and legs a lot, and have the hands near his hips. this helps convey the idea that he radiates power while preserving his intelligence by not resorting to a classic brutish pose

Kopaka: as stated earlier, defend his body with the shield. your best bet is to hide his left leg with it. the body should be angled with the left side pointed slightly towards you. The spear should be pointing away from you.

Tahu: Head held high, showing his confidence. one sword should always be heald skyward, while he holds the other close to his body. legs should be slightly bent.

Anybody got any reccomendations for posing Vahki? 'Cause I’ve got line 9 of 'em…

Other thing you can do with Tahu: put his board together, then fit one of the pegs in his hands like he’s holding the sword. This recreates how he’s most often seen in the animations

don’t

There are quite a few poses you can do with the Vahki. There’s the upright mode, so you can have some shots of them with their staffs. There’s also the ā€œbeastā€ mode where you have them on all four legs, which can lead to some interesting shots.

Wow, describing how to pose something is harder than I thought…

No kidding. I you can have them aiming both their staffs upwards. Or perhaps having them aimed inward opposite each other (like some of the promo art). Maybe having one staff raised and one digging into the ground…

Honestly, I can’t think of any more then that.

Make one do a handstand and you win at posing, I mean balancing on the end of the staffs with the head downwards(ish) and the legs up…

I can’t figure out a new pose for Lewa, Master of Jungle that doesn’t look strange. Any advice?

But that was my old pose for him. :stuck_out_tongue:

bend his knees angled outward slightly, put on the gliders and cross his swords/splay his swords.

I have all my golden 2015 masks in a right angle, ending with a custom stand for the mask of creation, and ekimu with his protector mask inside the angle
