Pose variations

Today I took the plasteline figure from before and bent it into different possible positions that I could present the final model in. My drawing skills aren't developed enough to be able to brainstorm different stances on paper so I thought doing it through photography would work just as well. These were the ones I came up with:


They're kind of in an order from standing to sitting and it's hard to work some of them out due to the fact this model doesn't have hands or proper feet. Annoyingly, I prefer a lot of the sitting positions to the standing ones, it seems more in the Kijimuna's character that it would crouch close to the ground whilst picking at their catch of fish. I say annoyingly because this could potentially make my final model much more difficult to mould. I'm quite confident I could produce a more complex mould but it's more to do with the extra time it might take. I hope to pick my favourite poses out of these and draw over them to get a better idea of what the final model could potentially look like...
