Bento is an original character I designed for a 2D animated series called Small Hearts. For an rigging assignment, I chose him as my first attempt at rigging and animating a character in Blender. Bento’s design is meant to reflect a young dog, about a year or younger, meaning his body shape and length will differ from an older dog of his breed. Bento is a huskamute breed, which is a type of husky but with slightly different features. I also gave him a large fluffy tail because I’m a sucker for fluffy tails. I have seen huskies with big fluffy tails like Bento’s, so I didn’t design him without considering the breed I based him on.
I created the rig from scratch and it is my first attempt, so it isn’t perfect. I hope to improve it one day when I gain more experience. Any feedback would be appreciated!
