I was making this pose for no real reason other than to have my try at a rain effect in GIMP.

Although an hour in I found out that all the methods I'd been trying weren't working out. If someone could point me to a good Rain Tutorial or if you could just make it pretty and rainy- either would be appreciated.

It's a bit boring
Also why is the armour empty?

For 1: It's boring because this was meant to be my Rain Test Pose, clearly I failed.

2: The armor is empty because I can't be bothered to get a new model when I'm two hours into a failed pose Although now that I look at it, perhaps I could have just put some black in there.

You could have just switched to the second bodygroup which has the visor...

I'm going to copy and paste a quote of myself from a long time ago, you look to be needing guidance.

"I know you can do better, everyone who posts pictures can do better; just a matter of time and learning.

A start would be to look at others work who are generalized as "Good" and then look at your work and try to
point out stuff that you don't have that they have, like:
-Fingerposing
-Camera angle
-Background objects, people, things.
-Faceposing
-Objects in front of picture
-The main thing you're trying to show (A man killing his mom, Spy turning into mom, ect..)
-Model textures (low res? high res?)
-Editing

Now that you have looked into such areas, realization must be brought to justice and noticing the huge
difference your picture will be if you follow the desires of Garry's mod 10 pictures.

You have so many tools in Garry's Mod 10 that you're not using that could help your picture so much.
Then once you've accomplished ingame editing you should continue with editing programs such as Gimp or Photoshop."

Anyway, the way I learned how to pose was mostly trial and error, learn from your mistakes and ask people what you could improve on.

You don't become a 'master poser' in a few days, it takes patience. And no tutorial can really help you with that.

Also you should change your attitude towards users, I don't know if you're trying to insult baby wraithycats or have random typing syndrome.
