Who is drunk tonight!? ;)

Well, recently at Puppeteer Lounge, we completed the character rig for our latest and newest member, Mr. Charlie. These day's Charlie goes over a daily routine of workouts or in other words "RIG TEST" whether walking around or doing an extreme gymnastic or in this case being drunk as one of our animators, Sachina Shakya did a pose test with an actual reference image of student Rajson Shakya.

I hope to see Charlie brought to life sOon! :)
