This is for those who are already moderately skilled in the ways of 3D modelling and maybe those who may have been wondering why their models don't quite work.
So you had a look at some tutorial videos and saw they were hours long. "Screw that!" you said, and you hammered away at your model without watching everything. Your model worked well enough and you were pleased with it and those tutorial videos were forgotten.
Further down the line you're re-modelling EVERYTHING and you find those same videos again and you actually watch them this time around. Actually they're far better than what you came up with AND show why...
(I totally did all this)

What the hell, I may as well ask.
You're rig for Midna made me straight envious, it's amazing and pushed me to start on the painful path of creating something for my very own. Currently I've produced a basic rig, have her facial joints in place and working with blended curves now to get the various expressions she'll be using.
But do you happen to have any insight on joints you use for Midna's belly? Specifically when I saw this http://40.media.tumblr.com/1f51dd78.....qepo4_1280.png I got really curious as to what your set up is, and how far it actually stretches.
If you happened to use digital tutors, I do have access to that too if there's a tutorial in particular that helped, and really any advice would be awesome. =P

WAIT A MINUTE! I recognize that Midna trailer screenshot and it's not mine! No idea who actually made that rig but I found them whilst watching xDraws's livestream.
Anywho, how the belly could have been done is with a shrinkwrap modifier with two targets. Primary target is a duplicate of the body so the belly given nothing else to shrinkwrap up to will remain a belly. Secondary target is ze penetrating object. Another method would be to use a lattice modifier, would probably give smoother results but less detailed.
Of course I don't know what the equivalent terminology for shrinkwrap modifer is in Maya though...
Nice work with the mouth!

Pretty sure his name's Boogie, but yeah he made a Midna rig a while ago that just blew my mind. Sorry, I mistook it for a different Midna >_<
Thanks for the advice, and the terminology is different but definitely applicable!
