Eff yeah, rigging techniques (Patreon)

Trying to learn more about rigging characters so they can bend and move a little more freely. It's working pretty well so far (see that weird pic I made of Isabelle drinking while holding the cup with her feet!)
I've mostly been focusing on pelvis, hip and lower spine rigging so far, I'll play around with a few tutorials on shoulder and breast rigging soonish. I think character spines probably need the most work, though, right now I use "bendy bones" for the spine, but it doesn't play nice with a few things.
I'd like to use THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZMu4MylZ8o but I think the spine might actually be TOO complex.

Anyway, bear with me as I continue screwing around making random things to try to learn all I can. My short term game plan is to tinker with the bones a little, then make a couple hybrids with completely different bodies than the others, then finally get around to making the Ninetales hybrid, probably.
