Merlin and Arthur rigging and expressions

This week, I finished off the rigging and facial expressions for both Arthur and merlin.

I added the expressions onto both characters by using blend shapes in Maya

This was the process of making expressions for Arthur

This was a screenshot of a fully rigged Arthur smiling and waving

This was the process of rigging Merlin

This was a render of merlin saluting and marching

This was the process of creating blend shapes for Merlin

And this was the final render of Merlin smiling and saluting

The next task would be to continue creating the environment before starting to animate the scenes. the backdrop of Arthur's Seat may be a mat painted, painted with Photoshop with a painted/watercolour effect.
