I've spent the past week workingon four new character rigs,andhey, look at that! My second channel is alive! The video above shows the entire rigging process of the heavy gunner, which is hands down my favorite rig from this episode. The promotional art for the character is just fantastic, and I didn't know how closely I would be able to replicate it in after effects, but I really liked how it turned out!Although, I'll probably tweak the visual style a little bit to fit better with the other characters.

I rendered two versions of this video,because I hadpeople messaging me about not being able to follow what was happening in the previous wip videos. AndI want you guys to learn more about after effects when you watch the stuff in my second channel, so I'm uploading a 4 hour version of this video that'll be much easier to follow. I'll add the link in the video descriptionwhen the upload is complete.

I'll be back next week with the march rewards, it'll probably be more Pokemon Snap stuff, cuz I'm not done with casino night yet.

The hands are from other sonic characters (https://www.patreon.com/posts/january-2018-16848484), and the thruster fire/smoke effect is from the Mr. Handy rig (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7UVh6Mfwxw). Some people told me that it's pretty hard to follow what's happening in the wip videos, and I want you guys to learn a little bit about the character rigging process, so I'm uploading a longer version of this video (4 hours long), which is still sped up but also much easier to understand. It's a pretty large file so it might take a while, I'll post the link here when it's done.
