My friend 
was kind enough to allow me to rig the model he bought from 
. It was a learning experience. (It's much different rigging models built by someone else than it is when you rig models you create yourself.)
So, I rigged her up in Maya and brought her in to Secondlife.
(I am no good at making presentation pictures. XD )

I've been doing it for about 15 years so not hard, but I can remember when I started... So confused and ugh!!
But rigging still gives me trouble when it's not a model I created. Mostly, because of the weight maps. She had a problem with her tail and clothing at first. (People make models differently so sometimes it's harder to use someone else's model.)
But once you get the hang of rigging and make a really nice base rig to play off of it only takes maybe an hour or so. :D

Much more challenging than I expected... I think it's because it wasn't a model I built. The others I've brought in to SL have been much easier and not had as many problems. (This one there... *points* was a problem child. XD But endlessillussion did a great job making Eradragon his model. It was very clean.)
Oh my... It is small. Larger pics were posted on my twitter. http://twitter.com/imago3d if you'd like to see larger sizes. I think I misjudged when I brought the pics in to photoshop. >.< Sorry about that.
I charge in USD. (Lindens have such an unstable rate now... And I have to wait for the money since they shut down the banks.) Price is usually based on difficulty. Some models are more difficult than others. :D I do have a scale and payment plan. (A few people have taken advantage of that.) Although, if you have a model and just want me to rig it for SL it is cheaper. My building and rigging is a bit more, but I do guarantee all my work. :D You can check my commission prices here: http://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/imago/ :)
May I send a friend your way? He's only been on SL for about a month now and is having a terrible time finding stuff that works on the models that SL gives you to start with. He's a draft horse fur like I am, and is a pretty simple design with a tattoo on his right shoulder. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2479651/ I'm sure he'd be willing to work with you in any way possible to end his frustration. Trust me I have seen what he has at the moment even though I don't have an SL account and its not pretty.
