GIMME THAT!
Kid inventor Mimo wrestles with their own creative vision when they get their hands on a supercharged battery, and their robot friend, Nexus, has grown tired of their negativity. If he can’t convince them to embrace their messy style, then he’ll just have to show them instead!
This is my bachelor's thesis film, and all work on this film was done by me.
CHECK OUT THEIR RIGS!

CHARACTER DESIGN
NEXUS AND MIMO (360° RIG)
These two were made for my student thesis film, Gimme That! I wanted to challenge myself to create a fully rotational, completely dynamic but simple rig that can disguise itself well enough to look like hand-drawn animation.

LEEQUADD (180° RIG)
"Leequadd" is based off of a design I made to represent myself, which then I explored making in Toon Boom. Initially, I created him to gain a better understanding of deformers, which then became a personal challenge to make this rig as flexible as possible. This allowed me to create much more fluid and complex actions, as well as learn more about timing and dynamic posing!

FANDROID THE MUSICAL ROBOT (180° RIG)
Original Fandroid 2D Design by Deadlycomics
Facial expressions done by Kyra KupetskyFandroid is a character on YouTube known for creating songs related to different fandoms. As someone who enjoyed watching his content, I wanted to challenge myself in creating a proper rig I could play around with during my time working with Team Fandroid. Learning to construct a workable puppet in a different art style helped me understand more methods to rigging without over complicating the puppet with too many shapes.
