Lastly when the head was all set up. I rigged the body and added the necessary instances like mouths and blinks for all views. I found some sound clips from detective Pikachu on a site and used it as a reference for the dialogue, sadly you won't be able to hear the clip but attempting to animate the scene allowed me to fully feel what it was like animating with the rig.

doing simple poses as well as adding some new instances on the hands allows me to gauge how hard it is to manipulate the rig to the pose I wanted. So far so good and I was able to make this.

This was the last I did for the rig before getting a new job. Reflecting on it, I was able to make great progress in creating this character XD. Lettuce is probably the move liveliest character I've made so far.
