Any advice for what to do when posing a character with four arms? I don't know how to pose the other two without them just doing the same thing as the top two.

This is an excellent question! I’m glad we can tackle some kind of inhuman anatomy here too. 

First, let’s look at the different ways to position the second pair of arms (there are many other ways, but these are very common): 

Second, positioning can have to do with the character’s emotion or personality. Here are a few ways to show that: 

In the end, I think it should also come down to silhouette (how the character looks in one solid color, no inner details). If that looks clunky, the whole thing looks clunky. A good pose should make a good and interesting (if not clear) silhouette.
