The Phillip rig is complete. It's combination of the rig for Johnny and the mermaid. He has a stretchy leg, but no stretchy arm. Doing the mermaid, I ran into a lot of problems and havent quite figured out a solution. With the mermaid I used a condition node to work the scaling of the joints. For the most part, it did work, but had some hiccups where the arm would be bent, when it should've been straight. Thinking about it now, I might be able to work it using scale constraints, but haven't tried it yet.
He has IK/FK arms, only IK legs, no reason to have FK for this project. Has a flexiplane spine, manual facial controls, as well as blendshapes.
I recently watched Secret Window, with Johnny Depp, and started noticing a bit of similarities, specifically when Phillip throws something at the TV, saying 'leave me alone!' So, I want to go back and change the story a bit. Possibly going back to some of my original ideas which reflected more about becoming demon possessed. Don't know if I should just incorporate some of the ideas, or just go back to the story. In which case, I would probably need to change the character a bit.
What I still need to do is: 1. modify the story 2. make any neccessary changes to Phillip to better suite the story 3. create a proxy for animation 4. do color tests
