CA3: Twisting Arms
I purchased CA3 recently and was having trouble getting the right skin color for one of my characters using the varicolor choices, so I decided to just export the character to photoshop and do the work there. While I was at it, I decided to save a few different arm configurations, since I couldn't decide what pose I wanted. Anyway, to make a long story short, while messing around with the different arm poses, it occurred to me that between all of the different right and left arms, we had almost every single side of an arm drawn. And, one of the nice things about humans is that we're more or less bilaterally symmetrical, so a mirror flipped left arm becomes a right arm, and vice versa.
So, I decided to see what I could pull off by just combining and rotating the different arms. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised by just how well it worked out. Just by rotating, flipping and grafting from different arm pieces (primarily the upper left shoulder/arm area of the Left Downward Arm), I was able to create quite a few different poses. Please tell me if you disagree, but I felt the end results were pretty convincing. The great thing is I think this should be doable for anyone with even basic experience using Photoshop and a little bit of patience.
