The hands/fingers should be a bit more relaxed, not sure what you are trying to do with him but its almost as he is being electrocuted.
This is awsome work ...I will be looking at your loops on the body closely
I would like to do a full body some day

but for this guy i gathered up as much ref as i could and built him peice by peice. for the legs especially i followed a lot of francisco cortina's model, as well as his body postures. also his modeling techniques [using n-gons as needed].
so im moving on to the clothes now.
thanx again.
here is francisco's site, he worked on animatrix film and FF spirit within

edit: ill cloth him like punisher:

No the arms are fine, try and judge where the fingers will touch on the thighs. They are in the right position for sure. Dont forget everyone is built a little different, but generically we are the same overall.
Looks fine Vlad, NP, it gets a little frustrating when things are pointed out as being a little 'out' but theres alot misunderstanding over anatomy here sometimes I feel, my thread in particular has had some strange comments, some of which I deleted because they were just arse!!
On the subject of anatomy, there's a good 'Body Topology' thread over at cgtalk started by Stahlberg, its a little heavy and veeeery long but worth a look https://forums.cgsociety.org/showthre...2&goto=newpost
Cheers
for now

Hey howz it going? Yeah I did a while ago but as I've started doing the tutes for here now, theres no point, plus also it detracted from my site anyway and I'm usually around here advising dudes and dudettes how to do stuff. But check out the GI modelling dvd if you want to see my stuff going on for a whole character from head to foot.

not helpful in anyways. but no matter,
on in that last page on the cgtalk thread stahlberg talks about n-gons and ZB, this is one of the reasons i went so detailed with this character, because i knew this modeling method would be problematic with zbrush; as it does not like n-gons.
i beleive it turns them into tris automatically; and that messes things up quite a bit.
but one work around, like stalhberg says is to smooth once. because maya [and every other package that uses catmul clark subdiv] will automatically convert n-gons to quads and tris to quads. [to the best of its ability] but for the most part all ngons get converted to quad as well as tris. i think up to 6 sided ngon is fine.
