It was a lot of ad-hoc work, because I never even thought about what he’d look like from the side… (He's not a central character in the episode) This rig is still lacking body turns, hip turns, and I forgot to create an inner/back side of Leopold’s jacket, but I’m sharing it with you anyway. Learn from my mistakes…
