hes got a bit of swat fly syndome. id steer clear from that. gauss words always full of wisdom. jsut underlining the gesture/thumbnails and be sure as to what youre trying to convey in this picture. if its just the character then why put him in an action pose? if it is an action pose then why is he so apathetic about…
