Swap Out Any Weapon!
The most difficult part of drawing "weapons poses" is not the weapon! It's drawing the person HOLDING that weapon. You can swap out any weapon on a pose and replace it with your own!

Our poses are perfect for helping you jump-start your own final images. With thousands of images to choose from, inspiration is only arm's length away. Take a look at some great examples by a few of our artists:

Let's create a new pose using the upper body of this girl and the lower body of the man.
Let's use both the original image and a mirror-image of the man's legs.
Two new poses! Both versions look very dynamic!
