Seeing some other artists experimenting with 3d work around here, I decided to create a 3D model of Hyst for posing and reference purposes. I think it worked out pretty great! It's hard to appreciate how awesome it is to turn around and move something in real-time after spending a long time doodling and trying to visualize something while drawing. Making interesting poses is way easier this way too! Although it does take a little bit of getting used to to set up the model to move and not breaking everything.

This was super fun! A ton of work though. If you guys have any ideas for other poses you might want to see, let me know and I'll see if it's possible to do without breaking something, hahaha.

Be sure to see the full size to see more of the detail!
