Having him not-fly like that and actually stand normally is a big unnerving. He looks like he’s about to go to school for the first time, or he’s waiting to get a class photo taken, seconds away from frowning.
Either way, nothing special as I’ve done him before, but I needed a basic pose for reference. The lack of a piercing is just accuracy to the time, I didn’t ‘forget’ it, it would take more time to remove it than to keep it anyway, thanks to vectors.
Yes, I used this exact pose and expression before, and you will see this exact pose at least three times more.
