I want to thank two awesome artists: Filippo Foglietti for the 2D concept and Sofia Gariazzo for the 3D model (https://www.artstation.com/sofiagariazzo)! It was a pleasure to work with you and I hope we will create other stuff together! 😃NOW It’s time to give her a NAME!!! I need help and fantasy FROM ANYONE 😛❗️Just one directive: must starts with the letter “D”! I add a progression collection of pics from concept to 3D model to inspire you! 😊Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

After any video… people usually ask me where to download the Alya Rig or my Ink Rig, so… let me update (again^^) about these rigs 😉
by Eyad Hussein
I totally understand that you ask me for this rigs ’cause she’s really appealing and I love her! But the cretor of this rig, my friend Eyad Hussein is still working on that, he’s working in Sony Pictures Imageworks and I know he’s pretty busy so… I recommend you to sign to the pre-registration form (if you haven’t done it yet) and be patient ^^
The one I’m using is a wip version that he shared with me to test it, also…I customize it a bit in some of my videos (like the pink hair one) and that version is not in the rig, but she’ll be customizable with different hair styles and accessorize 😉
Ink is my personal rig and it’s not available for download, sorry 😉 He’s my little, simple rig I really wanted for this channel, no details, no face, monochromatic texture… only the essensial shapes to show you the principle of animation!
So… after this “bad” news, what can I suggest you? There’s a lot of nice free or not free rigs you can download on the web, most of them are what I was using before this ones so..to learn animation is not really important the type of rig you’re using but… let’s hope other great riggers like Eyad will provide us new rigs soon that we can use for our AWESOME ANIMATIONS! 🙂 🙂
I want to present you a very cool rig I’m “testing” right now for a shot, Arc the Dragon, created by Josh Sobel 🙂
Arc is a really well done and pretty complex rig with some customizable options: you can choose between different “personality”: 6 in total! That is pretty cool! 😀
I’m animating the Young version and is really nice to pose and instantly appealing! 🙂
You can also change the texture and eye color between this 7 variations:
The rig comes with a very useful picker where, in addition to the customization options, you can easily select the rig controls, splitted in Body and Facial (extremely useful for a complex rig like this one) I usually don’t use pickers, I like the direct approach with the rig but …. in this case I use it a lot 😉
In the picker is also available a little set of expressions and poses:
The rig has a very affordable price 18,00€ for a standard license and is available on this link http://www.joshsobelrigs.com/arc-the-dragon
So far I didn’t find any issues with the rig that works pretty well!
As I said, it’s not an easy character to animate for those who are just beginners, but is absolutely a good character if you want to test your skills with a quadruped, or in some flight cycle, acting shots or action! 😉
It’s really funny to animate and soon I’ll post a tutorial/breakdown for the shot I’m working on, so that I can show you my approach with the rig and my workflow! 😉
So… if you are looking for a new and original character for your next acting/action shot, Arc could be a good option! 😉

I want to introduce you the Official Rig for my Channel – INK 🙂
I wanted something simple to better show you same basic principles and I love the 2D effect in general!
Finally is ready and I already started to use it for my new lesson! 🙂
(the Rig is not available for download)
My friend Eyad Hussein created this Facebook Page where you can follow the progression of his amazing rig ALYA that will be available for download very soon! 😉
I already used this rig for some lessons and animation test and I definitely recommend you to download it as soos as it becomes available! 🙂
Here an interesting character for your acting shot, created by Jason Baskin
Blake is a customizable man with some different options for appearance and some clothing accessories, rig and model are really well done! 😉
A very nice rig for your shot is this little squirrel rig created by Josh Burton
Squirrely is also perfect for your first exercises! Test some basic animation principles… playing with his long tail!
Free Download in The OFFICIAL SITE
As animator you can do great stuff with this great rig created by Eyad Hussein! 😉
The rig is not available yet but will be realeased soon (probably the end of this summer) but I suggest you to fill the pre-registration form so that you will be one of the first to receive an email when she will be ready for download! 😉
If you’re planning to start an acting shot, maybe Mary could be the rig for you! 😉
The Rig is well done and functional (the facial blendshapes and controls could be improved IMO)
There’s a set of blendshapes for the facial expressions:
Some hair locks controls:
Deformers controls for arms and legs:
I recently bought this nice pack of Rigs from “Long Winter Member” site:
In the pack we have this 5 Rigs:
The simple and clean design is perfect for body mechanics and action animations.
I suggest you to download this FREE Rig, the Eleven Rig, ’cause I found it pretty easy to animate (I would just improve the facial controls and blendshapes) and have some nice possibility to customize it. The rig is well done and allow you to create both realistic and extremely cartoon/squashy animation! 🙂
You can chose the gender:
you can customize the head (scale, hair/eyebrow style, add beard or mustache and change the eyes color)
and from the Root control, you can customize the body proportion! 😉
you also have some nice helpfull extra controls like the SQUASH and STRETCH for the head and some cool deformers for arms and legs! Have fun! 🙂
