Niners options

[the french guy]

Hi,

I like to work on a lot of things in the same time : bucaneers vintage players, Steelers team (I'm working on the o line for now, pics soon), and also my own team of 2009 Niners

Since my team is complete (11 O and 11 d players), I'm working on "option athletes".

THe first one is something I need in my offense : a inner field receiver (don't know if it's the good name in english : basically, I need a short range loop receiver in the field's center, just behind the d line).

My starting WRs are straight fast runners, more adapted to corner action or bomb pass. I need something to work more "inside".

So I tried to designed a pose adapted to that purpose. Thinking about the playoff games (yes, we can see stuff in France too ...BTW PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME THAT WEEK END RESULTS, tommorow I'll go to my brother 's home to see a game -still don't know wich one- and week end results and replays on pay tv channel), I made that one you can see on the pic.

My next "option man" will be a looper running back, to play curve runs ("sweep" in english ? ) .

the Wes Welker Type receiver that catch a lot of the passes 'underneath' is a is typically a "slot receiver".

that is a nice pose!

Very Nice Pose,

Good Form

thanks !

I designed that pose to make it easier to aim for TTQB passing. Since the figure is quite tall, and designed to go "underneath", the fact it will be bigger (and with "wider" arms and leg pose) than linemen will be an advantage.

The only issue I see is that the fig is not so well balanced. Perhaps I'll modify a little the stance so the fig will be more positionned on the plateform.

thanks for the explanation. I 've got a big lack of that type of football terms

Hi,

Tonight I designed my option running back !

I choosed a "snap time" pose. the running back just got the ball and is lookining for his path.


I choosed that pose to constrast with my rushing starting RBs you can see here :








That new "option" Rb will be used mainly for sweep tactics and other curves/loops runs. I tried to make it the most balanced possible pose, and to keep the figure not too "hookable" by defense.

Here's the first pics. I'll customize (muscles sculpt and body reshape) and paint it it with the WR.

Dimitri you need to break out some molds!

[the french guy]

thanks !


Perhaps one day I'll do my modls, but of couse on my own masters, with 100% original sculpt. In the next months, I'll try full sculpting from scratch. I already made some figure sculpting in the past (fantasy), and made pro sculpting (wargame accessories like barrels, carts, walls, etc...) recently too, so sculpting football players will be very interesting !
