Ok, this is a test to see what you guys think of some poses I made with a mannequin I drew earlier. I have 2 Atm, but hopefully I'll end up with more.
1. Lazy Gaming (Watching Cutscenes, etc)
2. Hardcore Gaming (Fighting the last boss of a game etc.)
Ok, that's all I got so far, some CC if you please. If you like them, I might post the mannequin up for download :P
It would be really helpful if I could get some CC, I need to know if this is a decent style for animation...

As a picture alone, it's so so, but as an animation i'd probably love it.
I sit like both of those depending on how im feeling while gaming ;)

You always need at least one asshole moderator for your forum. Its not opinion, its fact

Yeah, I'm just getting an idea of character poses atm, I'll probably end up with full scale animation by the time I'm done.
I think it would look better with more foreshortening. This can be easier to see if you take a picture of the mannequin in the pose, instead of just eyeing it live.
I'm not eyeing it live. I have a flash mannequin in which I have generic pieces that I move into position and then trace over. Guarantees good proportions.
By the way guys, here is a new one:

But somehow you managed to make the proportions bad...

Proportions are not bad, maybe the angles I drew them at were awkward, but the proportions are good. I tested on a live figure. That's a real person, not a mannequin.

Ok, I'm going to try to tell you one more time because you don't seem like you're sincerely willing to consider what we're saying. Say you have a cylinder. If you look at it from the side, you see a long object, but if you look at it from head-on, you have a not-so-long object. If what you're using is a flash mannequin, then it's probably a two-dimensional collection of body parts, in which case, you wouldn't be able to see any of those parts "head on" unless you resize them to be not-so-long, see? I've provided a quick sketch (it's just a quick one, mind you), to kind of demonstrate my point. Also, below is an article on foreshortening. Please check it out:
