Rigging and Posing Puppets

So Leech Woman took a little longer than expected. The skinning went kind of funny because the auto weighting didn't account for the dress around the legs. I had to paint it manually and kept getting issues with the deforming when bending the knees.

After the weighting, I went back to the colors and tried matching her dress and skin better. I also added a specular map to control the shiny, satin-like dress, and reduce the shine of the skin.

I also modeled, created a material and rigged the leech that she spits up. I think I'll move onto Jester next, which should be fun, since I'll see what the best method to rig his multi-piece head will be.
