>>83991598If you want, blame the rigging in the face, I do that myself. The model is severely lacking in that aspect. However, there are a few things you can change in the pose. Here are some pointers to why she looks insane.
- Too much white in the eyes. The more white in the eyes, the more a character looks surprised/crazy. Look at pictures of people laughing, most of the times they squint or close their eyes. A crazy person keeps them wide open when laughing.
- The teeth. Open your mouth and move your lips like the model there and look at yourself in a mirror. You will notice that you will look aggresive, your mouth is way too open and your teeth are exposed too much. The teeth comunicate strong emotions, one of them aggression. Limit how much of them are visible.
There is a dirty trick you can use and thats removing most teeth except the bucktooth. It gives a baby face appearance and makes you feel like a plastic surgeon.
Here is a quick example removing the teeth, to show you how much the "feel" of the face changes. Play with the eyelids and eyebrows
- The camera also plays some role here, too frontal for my taste, but thats only my opinion.
