Capturing the human body in motion is a diffucult task and so often with my art extreme and unusual poses are required. So many of the Poser figures used in artwork these days look "posed" and unnatural.

I use a number of sources to get the figure posed just right. My wife is often volunteered into posing for me, or I use my huge collection of magazine cuttings, or in this case I grabbed a few frames out of a movie that I had in my archive, in this case Ridley Scott's "Legend". In this scene Princess Lily is fleeing from the goblins in a snow blizzard. Not very clear pictures, but they gave me enough to work with to get the pose in "Fleeing the sand fury" correct.
