In order to reach inspiration, I sometimes create somewhat dull "study scenes" that at least yield interesting possibilities for poses and morphs. Here's an example, a scene featuring the 5 types of Sakura 8-derived character bases I have available, with 2 simple figure morphs added to compare the effect. I've saved 3 new poses and more than a dozen figure presets from this scene alone. If a new scene doesn't come from this exercise, at least I produced resources from the time spent.
