Ash Punk Rat
For this rig, I wanted to create a design that would allow me to demonstrate asymmetrical drawings and rig more unique elements, like a long tail and the jacket design.
​
I used Toon Boom Harmony for the animation and used After Effects for the light shadow in the post production.
​​
Rig Highlights:
-
The rig has multiple asymmetrical elements that need to stay in place on the correct side, no matter which view of the character is used. I've used synced nodes with synced drawings to allow the piercings to stay on the correct side.
-
The limbs all use a deformer system to allow the deformer to be swapped between FK, IK and curved deformers.​

1) Character Designs and Turnaround

2) Rigging Demonstration
3) Final Animation
This short exercise was to test the head's flipping elements and show a bit of the character's blunt personality.
