Exercise 2
Put Spiderman into TWO other poses. Upload at least THREE screenshots from different angles to your journal, with a paragraph of reflection for each.

POSE 1: HANGING




Description:
From this exercise of making the spiderman hanging taught me the basic pointers to remember in order to achieve a realistic figure of a hanging spiderman. I learnt how important it is to consider the curve of his body and how to bend it nicely from different areas in Maya. The bend of his body initializes how the spiderman holds his weight while hanging upside down so I need to make sure it bends properly. To position his head, hands and legs must also be considered, following how his body is postured.

What can be improved:
His chest being in between his hands look weird to me. Maybe I should have leave a very little space in between them so it does not look as though he is squeezing them hard to hold his weight upside down. This pose should be easy for him as he is a superhero but I think I made him look like he is slightly struggling with his hands that way.

Reflection:
I am really satisfied with the bend of his body as it goes well with his hands pose. His neck is stretched properly displaying his weight at the bottom since he is upside down. His legs too with his knees slightly more to his upper body made him look realistic for being in that position. However I really should do better for his chest area as his hands makes him look funny as though his elbow is squeezing his chest. Problems I faced was making his hands clinched as though he is grabbing his web to stay in this posture. Though I adjusted bit by bit I think I did not make it look very realistic as he looks like he is just holding on it lightly.

POSE 2: JUMP AND THEN SPREAD LEGS




Description:
This pose was inspired from the movie itself where he jumps off and spread his legs to jump off to somewhere else. From this pose, it shows that spiderman is flexible to spread his legs wide. His hands are in front of him holding on to his web and his body is bent to follow the actions his hands is doing in order to look realistic. His head is tilted in a way that he is looking at the direction he is going to jump to too.

What can be improved:
Areas that can be improved would be his shoulders. I think I made his neck and shoulders look quite stiff and it did not bent nicely following his arms. It is as though his arms are free to stretched that way but his shoulders are restricted. Other parts of him I think is fine and I did quite well doing this posture apart from his shoulders.

Reflection:
I chose this pose with the purpose to show the audience how flexible spiderman is. I think I did quite well in stretching his legs appropriately. Problems I faced while doing this pose would be his head, neck and shoulders part. I must carefully rotate them to look realistic and also coordinate well with this hands posture.

POSE 3: SWINGING





Description:
Spiderman is known to shoot out his web to jump from building to building. This pose shows the process of him shooting his web and already halfway jumping off and swinging to another building. I postured his hands spread which one is to shoot and the other just follow along while jumping. If it were to be straight by his sides it will not be realistic and it will look weird plus that is not how naturally a jump pose will look like. 

His legs are positioned in a way that his body is forward and the legs are still upwards as he just took off from the building. If his legs were to be the same height with his body it is not well exaggerated to show he is jumping off a building.

Reflection:
I find this position interesting and it is common for spiderman to do this. I find it challenging at first to posture his legs to not look abnormal but I managed to make it look realistic as if he really just jumped off a building and stretching out to webbed to a new one. After practicing on the two previous poses, I managed to do this well. I am satisfied of its turn out and think this is the best posture out of the rest. His body is appropriately bent and as well as his legs. Considering that he just jumped off, his hands naturally spread this way so it look better and having his head tilted to the direction he is going to point his web to too perfect  the whole posture.
