This is a pose from the book The Figure in Motion, by Thomas Easley. I have been studying nude photos as a refresher on how real humans work (as you may have heard). Sometimes the poses come out very nicely, and I render them up.

Michael, of course. This is with the standard tex map, but I have applied it at only 75% strength to keep it from being too saturated and red. I have also tried Anton Kisiel's new skin highlight formula of using a dark brown highlight colour with largs size. Additionally, I have mixed the tones with an un-textured version (see below).
There is one overhead fill light, somewhat muted, and a bluish bounce light in the lower left. There are two white spotlights, one for the figure, and one for the drapery background. (I made that in Rhino, btw.) The lights came out very nicely.
This image also makes use of some of my new morphs for Michael, for the shoulder and back muscles, and also neck muscles. The morphs came out a bit rough, I think, but they look decent in this pose.
Oh, and the lighting came out so nicely on the untextured figure, I did an image of it, too. The saturation is slightly tweaked in 'Shop.
And here it is, yet again... I finally got a 'drawing' version to come out right. This is conte' crayon, in 'Shop.
