From the sketchbook

Doodled this new character in my sketchbook and decided to bring her to life. Animating her walk cycle was also a great excuse to test out the new Duik Bassel (version 16 of Duik -- download & donate here). It is amazing. The big difference is that the rig can be build completely separately from the artwork, and then the artwork attached via parenting. So you can edit either of these components and re-link them without rebuilding the whole rig. It's seriously great.

I got so excited about the new Duik this that I also rigged this cat. The face turn is rigged with Joysticks n Sliders, but the tail rigged with Duik. I'm hard at work this summer on testing out new ideas and putting them into motion. This is part of a push to combine shorter tests and experiments with a longer personal project. More about that soon!
