The facial expressions i polished myself. 

At the moment I'm going into rendering and polish the poses with some feedback of my TA's. 😊

Nr.7

Here i tried again an angry pose.
I was looking how far i can push it and still be believable.
As a reference i uses "Hopper" out of "a bug's life". Little by little i get in to the finesses of posing. 💪
His lips form "You".

Hey everybody 👋

From time to time i go over my old poses and work on them as well, to make them better and better.
Like with the angry pose, you can see it in the process view images.

My Nr.6

What would be a Spider challenge without our loved Spiderman?
So here a spider pose we all know, ready for takeoff.
I figured out how to move the shoulder correct. Jippi

Nr.5

The fifth pose was planed as an angry pose.
He is angry and ready to hit someones a**.
It`s like he would say "You! I will get you!" Here in this pose it is really good that he have 6 arms so he can grab and hit at the same time.
In the previous pics you see my references.

Process View Images look like this:
Take the" < > " button and drag him to the right.

Now i saw that i did something the entire time the wrong way. I always presses "Edit" to add my new poses etc. and never "+ add update". I hope this didn`t cause any confusion. From now on i will do it the right way.
PS: I added the pics of the faces to the poses, so feel free to scroll down. ;)

The Knight Spider

My Idea is to keep it really simple and clear.
I'm in the second week of animation, we are learning now poses. I know the rig is more advanced then in class but i wanna give it a shoot anyway.
Character: Proud Warrior
Personality: proud, strong, caring, maybe a little bit clumsy
Key Poses: Happy, Winning, Sad or Beat-up, Posing (strong), Angry, ...
An eye on: dramatic, attitude, emotion, silhouette, balance, weight

Nr.1

In my first pose i want him to look happy. As happy as never in his life. He jumps in the air out of joy.
In the beginning i struggled a lot with posing, changing from face to body mode, with elbows, face yeah so pretty much everything. But thank good  someone, i think his name was Alex made these "How To" videos.  
In the first 2 pics you see the result now then reference and process.
:D

Nr.2

The second pose should make him look winning. Like if he would look to his fierend and say "Yes, we won! Great!" This was more tricky then the first one as i never did a pose like this before.
In the image row you see the references i used.

Nr.3

In the third pic i want him to feel real pain, loss and sadness. After he got to his knees, he hit's the ground, out of frustration anger and sadness.
This was one of the emotional makings as i felt the pain during the process to. (Is their anyone who also feels what he is animating or i'm just wird?)
In the second last picture you see again the reference i made in school at the beginning of the week. I always try to get the reference in the body of the Spider additional with more ideas. Also because he have more arms.

Nr.4

"Am I a handsome guy?"

In this one, the forth one he is posing, strong and confident. My reference was Weaver out of Antz were he is posing for a girl.
From pic to pic the posing i feel is getting better and better also a little easier to use. I'm still struggling to make  fists but i think fists suits the character. I also think i should add a extra picture to each number of poses, to show the face bc this takes extra much time but here we can't see them properly. Would that be cool?
