[Paulo Junior Lourenço]

as a 3D Caharacter artist/3D sculptor i am studying what makes Museum poses appealing for collectors.

so In your Opinion what makes a Premium Statue with Museum Pose look amazing? what do you look for in a museum type of statue that makes it worth buying it? does size/scale matter to you?

i will leave some Photos below just an examples, these statues dont belong or where made by me.

Implied narrative draws me to any work of art, statues or otherwise. A critic once pointed out to me that great fantasy pieces (e.g. classic D&D paintings and such) convey a story best when it occurs either before or after the action. Is our hero obliviously walking into an ambush, or standing triumphantly amongst the remnants of his/her opposition?

Museum or not, personality is also king. For example, PCS made a Street Fighter Juri Ultra statue a while back that had an amazing pose. But the character's visage didn't really convey the character's manic and sadistic personality. Though I'm certain that expressive emotions can be a risky venture in a hobby where sculpted stoicism often produces cleaner results, expressive facial features always stand out to this collector.
