Yo! Having a pose reference can really help your art. But what if you need a worm's eye view of someone leaping through the air doing a dragon kick and holding a sword? You probably can't find that reference! (Cue ten people finding that exact thing and posting it at me, lol.)
That's where Kun comes in.
(Here's a pose I did for InquisitorCat!)
Kun is a Bodykun art mannequin. Basically, if you have any requests for poses, just post them here. I'll play around with him, snap photos, and put them up for everyone to use. You're welcome to use these pics however you'd like. I can't devote hours upon hours to this, but you're welcome to ask for tweaks to poses and stuff, just don't go crazy. He also has some items to pose with: sword, shield, katana, laptop, pen, smartphone, flip phone, popsicle, mug, cup, saucer, pistol, and generic rectangle (paper, closed book whatevs), pencil/wand, a variety of hands, and a stand I can mount him on (so he doesn't have to balance on his feet). I have also 3D printed tables and chairs.
Kun won't provide as good a reference as a real person, especially for realistic poses. But when you need a particular pose from a particular angle, it can really help.
Have your own art mannequin and wanna share cool poses? Go right ahead!
