Voilà... my first 3D character design and rig ever!
As I go along in my career, I intend to learn more about character (both 2D and 3D). So, even though this is a very simple rig, I intend for it to be the first of many more to come.
Check out my design and animation process down below!

Started by trying different body proportions

Then started modeling in C4D...




Some color...









Lighting...







And finally, here's some rigging and animation

I was originally taught to use Rubber Hose Style rigging for my character. But after storyboarding and settling on my story, I realized Rubber Hose wasn't going to make my character what I wanted it to do. Instead, I went ahead and looked into IK rigging and weight managing.





And finally I worked on the title card...
