This was the first official character I created during my time at One Agency for Slots LV online casino. I pitched the idea to One Agency to create a character from one of their games as it's something we could offer to get more work with Slots LV. I chose Gus because of his simple shapes and lack of a full face rig. I thought this was a good idea as I was pretty much brand new to character creation and this character allowed me to repeat the steps I did with the Golden Gorilla character, getting me more accustomed to the character creation workflow.
This character included a few custom rigging bones including a hat rig and moustache rig complete with dynamic, physics bones that animated based on the characters movement without me having to manually animate the moustache.
This was also my first ever walk cycle which was a lot of fun adding some bounce into this friendly little characters walk, giving him the personality I thought he would have.
See below a few of the animations I did for Gus!
