That avatar I made has inspired me to do, uh, the rest. I've finished his torso and the position of his arms, but now I'm not sure what to do with his legs. A friend suggested to have one leg resting on a tombstone.

Also, should I make two more Jacks but in different positions and with different expressions and have them standing side by side...? Or would that look weird? Chuck us some ideas pixel jointers.

Oh and this is my ref pic, for anyone who cares: http://www.movieforum.com/movies/wallpapers/christmas/nightm arebeforechristmas/images/1024x768.jpg

"us"?

Hummmmm. Charlie's angels style? man, those poses are funny.

And as he's currently posed, I could see him walking up a stairs of people. Err... yeah, Understand?

Fun stuff! I think the tombstone idea is good. But you could also have him in the pose from this reference pic:

Would look freaking wicked if you did a whole scenery shot with the Pumpkin Patch and 'curly' hill.

Saboteur: 'Chuck us something-or-other' is a just a saying. I'm not referring to me and others, just me. Your post is kind of hard to understand actually. A staircase of people?? o_0

Demon: YEAH that's cool. I might do a pose of that. (I looove that picture)

Yeah, sorry, a little tired. Really I shouldn't post when I can;t think that straight. I meant something along the lines of... you know how people make a pyramid of people? like, on their hands and knees and all that fun. Something like that, with him taking a step up on to it.

Ok, that still makes no sense. Sorry for wasting your time.

Heh, the Charlie's Angels thing is a great idea.

Hmm, I can see him sitting. Sitting with one leg across the other one, like mostly girls sit, if you know what I mean. Hard to explain when you can't show

If not, I like the human stairs thing, or maybe a pile of pumpkins.

i think you should have his right leg facing on a tombstone, take his head off and put it in the his left arm that looks like it's holding up something... or something like that :D
