Thanks guys! still need to finish the texture but its getting there i think Denny: i can rig him well enough to pose and for basic stuff like walk cycles but yeah i am not good enough yet to actually do a fully functional rig with all the bells a whistles
Here are some more animals I concepted .These are fully rigged solutions as well .Time to get these done was fairly low .The render is just a basic screen grab from zbrush .not really a worry to me as I know how it will render under maya . Sea Turtle Rig - http://vimeo.com/108518689
