rigging

This is the final image of my created character, waiting to be rigged. Naturally these days my first instinct is to trawl the internet for tutorials (thank god for the internet). Downloaded the digital tutors series on rigging, only to find their rig was totally convoluted. So did a bit more trawling and found a series that was extremely helpful from the swinburne education academy - who actually deliver the content in a clear and concise manner?? Crazy???
