3 - Expression Tests

These are the final expression tests that I sculpted for the character. The animation is achieved by blending between different shapekeys and rigging the objects with a 2-part bone chain for the head & neck.

These expression sculpts were made to test a wide range of emotions and functions to:

• push the current proportions of the face to extremes
• create appealing expressions

These expression tests then informed further tweaks and changes to the design. They with later be used as a blueprint for the pose library of the rig to animate the character.
