I know that the standing pose, right now, makes zapdos look homeless so don't just say i should change it. Let me know, specifically, what should be changed to make it look more majestic.

Let me know what you think.

Besides this, I love the body, and this is overall a fantastic model. You never cease to amaze me.

i'll get right on it once i start puking rainbows and crapping butterflies

- 26 Mar 2014 16:02 #119078 Sooo, if you didn't know I always check my model with a ref model before hand. Soo, the beak is the right size, the head is the right size, the spikes are the right size. Now that that's out of the way: regarding the wings, SPG wants them folded so i cant do anything about that. Regarding the feet, what kind of bird flies with its feet down if its not taking off or landing? In all of those ref pictures, zapdos is hovering, not going forward. Also if you watch 2000 im pretty sure it shows zapdos flying forward and legs bent backward. It will be rigged so maybe we can have a takeoff and land animation.
Sorry for the sass, its been a long day.
Thanks for the suggestions.

You're right about that hovering thing though, and since we have that revamped flying AI, that kind of pose would be useless.
Come to think of it.....is there anywhere where we can find an image/video of Zapdos actually flying?

Edit: I'm an idiot who needs to pay more attention to what is presented to him.

there's like zero actual flying zapados pictures but you get my point. ouo
