First draft model and rig test. I'll try to post the model in a BIND pose on Monday.

Rig Test first draft

It's a very rough first draft, but one of the most important things I have to figure out is Can I do this? So I want to post weekly updates and decide what help I'm going to need by the midterm. I experimented a bit using IK on the Left Wing and FK on the Right. I really think I'm leaning toward FK for the flying sequences.

IK for the legs. Spline IK for the neck - this needs a lot of trial/error work.

Early days yet for my character design but this will go hand in hand with the rigging plus story/action so I'll adjust as I go along.
