Troll Facial Muscle Test

This is a mocap rigging demo I did from a tutorial in the art of rigging 3 by CGItoolkit.com. I formated the human facial structure to my own model of a the Lord of the Rings "Cave Troll". The animation is provided by motion analysis. http://www.youtube.com/user/cmarsArtist

More head studies

This is some traces from photo reference I did to try and to get a feel for the range of motion in the face, as well as possible poses for the character. Where the edge loops will go, and how much of that will actually follow the muscle structure.
