I notice a neutral pose is allways the starting point on a lot of charactors and animals etc.. this presumes that you have to rig good enough to get the pose you finally want, why do you not start out with the heroic pose, then just model that?
Your work allways displays skill and determination.

Just to add to this. You don't want to model in a heroic pose, as you'll lose the ability to use symmetry, plus a relaxed T-style pose (or quadrupedal equivalent) can allow great access to all areas of the model.Originally posted by Kurt
I should be able to pose this guy in Zb pretty easy using transpose plugin.
Though most people will develop their own ways of building characters, and what posses they use.
Nice sculpt Kurt.
