Senior Reality Frustrations

Ron Knights

I've decided to continue doing my art which reflects life in a typical Senior Citizen community like mine.

A large part of this life includes the use of walkers, rollators, canes, etc.

I have gathered some good sets of props. But I can't seem to find the kind of poses we'd see in our ordinary daily life.

Many of us sit on our walkers in the hallway as we wait for lunch to begin.

In the dining room you'll see walkers gathered near our tables as we sit at the table.

In the past I've hesitated to show my people sitting on the chairs, couches and walkers.

But my friends are quick to remind me this lack of sitting poses reduces the ability to reflect their everyday life.

Does anyone know of any good pose sets that would work with walkers, couches, etc.

It would be nice to have some partial poses that would allow me to easily adjust the various body parts to fine tune the poses.

These are some of the products I own:

richardandtracy could be one to take on the challenge 

they do outside the box poses

I cannot as I start with other peoples poses and tweak them

Maybe https://www.daz3d.com/ng-build-your-own-sitting-poses-for-genesis-8-female is useful for what you are trying to do?

Here's an example, since I actually own it

There's some nice poses in https://www.daz3d.com/z-everyday-wheelchair-and-poses-for-genesis-81 but you'd have to split them into your own partials.

I also tried combining with a few upper body partials from zeddicus conversation sets with good results.

This also looks pretty good imo: https://www.daz3d.com/simply-sitting-poses-for-genesis-8

I've learned for most poses I want to just look for nearest kind of pose than adjust to what I want often ends up nothing like the pose started with but I am oftem happy with the results and created some unique ones. As for being uncertain about portraying your characters realisticly don't be be proud of yourself and your art and if someone has any objections stuff them believe me I know what it is like I've had a lifetime of being treated badly and made to feel like I should hate myself it sounds like you have some good friends

There is also this https://www.daz3d.com/mobility-equipment-for-genesis-2-3-and-8-males-s-and-female-s

I haven't seen a rollator anywhere.

Anybody using crutches alone? And walking sticks? Walking Stick and pose. Aluminium Crutch. Might be a start. Regards, Richard.

Thanks, everyone for the links and tips. I've placed them on my wishlist.

I'm really happy living here. I show my friends my artwork whenever I get the chance. They love it.

I like to say I have 100 Fantastic Friends. I don't see all of them at one time, but I'm always quick to greet them like family.

I have wondered a couple of times whether to model the simple walking frame here: https://www.healthandcare.co.uk/walking-frames/7325C.html?msclkid=74a979a0437d1699e604107459779155. It's the one my MIL used when house bound before becoming bed bound. Is it similar to anything used in the US? There are wheeled equivalents with brakes, baskets and a seat too. There is a freebie wheelchair at Rendo from 2019 I'll see if I can do an odd pose for. Regards, Richard.

Richard, there are all sorts of variants, including the one you showed. One of my senior citizen products has one like that.

For your own reference, here is the one I use. It's tricked out with a 17" notebook bag on front.

I would be interested in the walker if you choice to model it.
