Spiderman Poses

Spiderman in the T pose – first step where all the work started

Adjusting his arms, placing them by the side to make the model appear relaxed

Arms are by the side but the straight fingers, tilted up head and straight back still makes it appear like it's about to get into a fight

Fingers has been curled like how it should be when relaxed 

as for the back and head where it has been tilted down slightly

First pose of the Spiderman, working on his fingers to make them into his trademark pose when he is about to shoot his web. Adjusting the thumb to get it spread out away from the other fingers far enough to be noticeable and not too much so it doesn't appear unrealistic. A fair bit of trial and error as well to get the bend for the middle and ring finger

Spiderman is about to shoot his web at the villains, or the building for him to get on top of

Adjusting the torso and arms for the second pose

Getting Spiderman into his hanging upside down pose from a standing position – started with his hips and legs 

Adjusting his fingers to make them into a "fist",  bending the fingers was the easiest part where the arms are concerned. Placing both his arms into the right position was a huge challenge because the arm wasn't seemingly long enough to get into the position the picture showed. Pulling it up anymore or nearer to its body and it would appear distorted, the arm "going inside" his body. After some time, frustration and further studying the picture, I decided the the back and neck had to be adjusted as well. The back was bent a little, the hips were adjusted further and the neck was tilted up. After these adjustments were made, the left hand could get to the correct position and the right had followed suit.

Reflections
I felt that this was a really interesting exercise and from completing this,  I had a good idea on how animators make their rigging strike different poses including some difficult ones. After completing the first pose, I got the hang of it and found the second easier to do. The third pose where spiderman was hanging upside down proved to be the toughest one. I faced a lot of challenges especially when it came to the characters hands, I found it difficult to get them into position but I'm glad I finally completed it (though it took a very long time) and the silhouette looked quite good.
