The plague - Infected peasant

Hey guys! I appreciate all your feedback from the last post. I've read all your comments and taken note of everything you said.

I've decided that I will do both kind of miniatures. I'll do them supported free whenever it doesn't compromise the final result of the model avoiding so making them bland and tasteless.

This infected peasant I think that makes for an example of what kind of supported free miniatures I want to go for. 

I wanted to make it with a dynamic pose. So how do I make a miniature that feels like moving without lifting his leg on thin air or it being goofy looking standing on the ground? 

I decided to put a torso under the lifted leg that acomplish two different objetives, supports the dynamic pose and also adds some character to the model and world. I also added some footprints behind him in order to help imagine the route that this peasant went. 

Now, how do I make the right hand stand on his waist making some sense? I was looking out for some references, trying to find anything that would give me an idea. Then I saw this friendly peasant chilling with his piggy under his arm. I saw a good oportunity for this one carrying one. It makes sense for peasants that when panicking they would try to carry something valuable with them.

As for future miniatures that requires supports you can count on me doing them pre-supported as always. For example, there's no way I can make good appealing wings ir teeth them being supported free (or at least without lifting some eyebrows).

There's a lot of miniature that I will have to do no matter what the traditional way. When I've the chance to make them supported free without sacrificing pose, shape and character, I will do them so, just for the challange. But when any of these things became compromise I'll definetly make them non-support free and pre-supported. The middle ground seems the better idea. 

What have Hannah Montana and a necromancer have in common? They get the best of both worlds, let's do that.

Also, archmage items will remain pre-supported, for most of them there's no fricking way I can make them supported free.

Thank you for your feedback and support guys! I'll love to know what you think.
