Stocky Blocky Wide body type?

Hi All,

I am trying to create a character along the lines of Jack Kirby's Darkseid, who would be stocky, blocky, and wide. Not obese by any means, just dense. Looks more like an NFL lineman than a bodybuilder. Files are attached for reference.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this look? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    This is close using the G9 morphs from DAZ.

    These tips have been helpful in getting me to think about the issue. I think my character is definitely headed in the right direction, and has that thick NFL offensive lineman feel that I'm going for.

    Looks like you're there. I was gonna suggest Kjaer 8.

    Thanks, xyer0! I am on the right track but still appreciate suggestions. I've arrived at one possible solution, but it is still helpful to think about different approaches that might be faster (!) and better. I appreciate it!

    If you remove the attachment the in-line version won't work, as it is just a link to the attachment.

    Hi Richard,

    Ah, okay! Thank you! I am learning. Before this thread, I think I was averaging 3 posts a year since I became a member in 2016. I am very inexperienced at all this.

    I had tried to post an animated GIF, but the end result seemed to be a static image so I deleted it out of confusion. Any thoughts on why the GIF wasn't moving, or what I would need to do to insure a moving GIF? I tested it on desktop before uploading it, and it worked fine on my machine, but no such luck once I posted it in the forum. Thanks!

    Ah, yes! Good old-fashioned standby The Brute! I have many generations of Brutes and I guess I felt like previous versions were too muscular and symmetrical. He definitely looks blockier than I remember. Thanks for the suggestion, Timbales! I appreciate it!
