I have a solid concept for what I want from this image when it's done but I've been struggling to get the pose right for like a week. Any of you have any suggestions on this?

Also I've decided it might be fun to make some short comics out of my dreams.

This is from a dream I had. Despite the shirtlessness it was not that sort of dream.

This particular dream finds The Iconoclast trying to sell me an ugly green sweater.

i feel like all your characters are so stiff, they don't have any motion. rock like almost. i think the pose would make more sense if the knee joint and crunk was on the tip of the cup, thats how i imagine it myself

Still G.I.Z.

After browsing deviantart for about 20 minutes I managed to find you two decent reference pictures. Enjoy!

Yeah, you're right about that for sure... I learned to draft before I really learned to draw and I'm having a hard time losing the mechanical feel.

I find if I try to add motion or exaggeration I end up losing all semblance of form... don't suppose you have any suggestions about that?

Tawney: I searched the internet for hours without finding anything good (I drew this pose by putting an action figure in an actual cup). I really appreciate that, thank you.
