Instrument Rough Model

I’ve been second guessing the overall design of my character, so I built a quick rig and posed her to see what kind of silhouettes I could get.  The rig was pretty sloppy, which made it difficult to pose her correctly (terrible deformations!) , but I think this was worth the time because now I have a better idea of what needs to be changed.

I started off building a guqin/guzheng hybrid, but it was looking really odd, so I decided to go back to a more conventional guqin.  I was thinking about adding some guzheng-ish frets though to make it look like she could play the instrument horizontally or vertically, but that also means I’ll have to add some finger picks too.

My goal is to start baking my maps this weekend!
