Opinion time! What do you look for in poses that would make you spend 50L for a single versus 10L? I've seen shops sell for cheap, but in my head it lessens the value of the item. What makes the difference?
Alicia ✿
As long as the pose is something I absolutely need, I'll pay 50L for a single. But...I'll also admit to being pretty cheap and I'll wait for a sale or buy whatever is cheaper.

no distortions and slower transitions
Grazia
more complex poses too.. i know how hard it can be to get a complex pose to work in SL with little to no distortions, i gladly pay for that
Cami Mahovlich
I normally only buy poses in packs and I admit I try to get them at discount or on sale due to my own budget

Grazia
: what makes a pose complex?
Grazia
anything that lesser posers manage to fuck up royally and still dare to sell it 
kesseret
im gonna agree with
Grazia
here. the thing with poses is the devil in the details
oOo Olaenka
Grazia
: hahaha. fair enough!
Grazia
nah.. for instance, your Veruca pose. I have seen many of those in SL, but almost all require massive post editing.... not yours
kesseret
when I was a bigger avatar people did chubby poses but very few got them correct
kesseret
and if I have to spend less time photoshopping out kinks in the body, then I consider that good
Grazia
which is why i gladly pay for your poses... and not so gladly for others
Coral
Natural poses that don't look awkward, stiff or like I'm about to fall over. I would pay 100L if I could find more but it's not easy.

kesseret
: don't get me started on chubby avatar posing. It's such a difficult discussion topic!
Grazia
poses that got both feet on the ground! it sounds like a no brainer.. but it's pretty rare
kesseret
haha well I was okay with most, but i recall one chubby pack I bought (probably from someone that doesn't do poses anymore) and my arms were still in my body, i'm like "ugh i guess I needed the 'fat avatar' "
Trin
Grazia
: yes this... that and natural gravity
Trin
some posemakers seem to ignore gravity
Trin
i also personally love mirrors being available. . so many times i have to pass on a pose because it wont work with the hair or outfit if only i had the mirrored option

And balance in movement i.e. Natural walk poses if the right leg is stepping forward the right arm should not come forward
Luna.Kate
My other fave that makes me crying is the hip torso and chest twists ... All in different directions or too far to be natural looking
Grazia
don't get me starting!
Grazia
broken neck poses!
Luna.Kate
Wait! Leap or leg poses; the butt- leg joint is idk how to explain in but like folded or creased ... But omgz art 
Grazia
Luna.Kate
: yeah but yanno... erryone can make poses 
Alicia ✿
I like when poses take mesh parts into consideration, too. Like hands and feet.

Dynamic poses less along the lines of 'fashion look book stands', that portray some sort of body language or narrative.
Walton
I always find those tougher to make because you really have to try and push out the concept but still make it look interesting. A lot of brainstorming, it seems - and with that, 50L isn't so bad.
oOo Olaenka
Walton
: I struggle to make that type because the fit seems so specific to the individual. kinda one-time use.
Walton
oOo Olaenka
: Perhaps! I've always enjoyed and frequent Delmay for that reason. I suppose because it seems like a niche the higher price justifies it.
