Very nice work, and lots of it too!

I was looking at your character's skeleton to see what techniques you used. Tell me, what are you using to hold the eyes in place or are they a part of the model's face? Also, I noticed the 2 extra bones at the hip joint. Is this to help you simulate a pelvic so the character can walk with a swagger? I also noticed that you used bones on the spine to give you something to bind the skin to. Sort of like ribs. Do you find this necessary? I've tried that technique and found that binding the skin directly to the spine, without the extra "ribs", worked very well for me. To be honest, the extra bones that I used created a skin weighting nightmare.

I like your work very much user added image
