        One thing, currently the hips and shoulders are more or less straight-across horizontal. To get a more dynamic pose you might try tilting them in opposition directions. For example, in the reference you show, the hips are tilted one way and the shoulders are slightly tilted the opposite direction, which helps give the character more attitude.

          What are you trying to say about the character? What sort of personality to you want to convey? Right now he's in a pretty aggressive "ready to fight" stance but he seems very wary of his sword. We can help you more with poses if we know more of what you're trying to achieve.

            @TessaW he just put on a magic ring that increases his skills and turns his sword into fire, I will create your world, with monsters, his family, everything 😊

              @yuriqart That's really cool, but how does this character feel about it in this moment and what personality traits do you want to convey? A shy, happy person will have a different pose in reaction to a magic ring and fire sword, than a confident, weary person, or a silly, scared person, etc.

              1. Personality: If you could pick one word for the personality of this character what would it be?

              2. Emotion: If you could pick one word for how he feels about the sword and ring in the current moment, what would that word be?
