I hate the Avatar's standing in line stock pose, and really wanted something that says "I smite the wicked" so i started to make him a bit more dynamic, i cut his arms free and used two thick pins as hydraulics, then i went to work on that silly boffer weapon and gave him the firey katana of righteousness.

New sword edge

Unfortunately your walk looks really wrong. Walk around your room or watch others walk and you should see why.

When you walk, and your right leg is forward, your right arm will be behind you. You have this wrong on your mini, both arm and leg are in the same motion. This creates a "silly walk".

Now, holding a sword doesn't mean you should do this pose. You "can" do it but it just looks wrong. Hold a broom in front of a mirror and do some poses as if you where holding up a sword and walking forward. You will get what I mean.

Also, the sword looks too big unless held by both hands.

(I was a 3D computer animator for many years)

It's actually twisting a bit as he has just cleaved his enemies and hes advancing over the corpse mid downward swing. But thank you for your input i will consider these things in the future, its very helpful.

The sword does need dire replacement good eye, however I feel its a little large.
