3rd Pass and starting to clean up....

I this rig had facial controls I would have liked to do more with this, but for now I think I'll keep it as the little test piece it is and move onto flight animation next :)

2nd Pass...

Added a bit of head movement, a sniff here and there and some chest and hips movement....

 

Finished Blocking!

Now onto the fun stuff!!
I'm going to go back and clean up those legs, make some nice poses and key sections and we'll go from there!

Working on the footfalls first...

Silliness!!! Am I setting myself up for a headache?

Step 1...Planning my route and timing, kind of :P

 

Step 2...I'm going to force my legs to follow along, and then go back and tweak spine and feet relationship, I could be mad or this might work..

Exciting news!
