So I've got my head at least passably rigged now (with a lot of help from somebody to help me make any sense of it at all). I still barely understand it, but hopefully repetition will eventually make it easier. It's now set up with a kinda complex talking animation, blinking animation, and randomly shifting expressions (with eyebrows/eyelids/mouth all able to change separately for more combinations). These are some of the better screenshots I got of some of the results.
Also, my friend got these whilst I was showing him the head, if you wanna see the cool talking animation I did (it's actually made up of 10 different phonemes (plus regular closed mouth) that're played in random order and for random lengths of time each, rather than one single animation...I think it looks a lot more natural that way, even with the head's lips not being nearly as flexible as I'd like):

The inside of my mouth looks a bit wonky in the first one since I haven't fully hidden the underlying human av head yet since I haven't built my neck yet, so it peeks through in places XD;
I'd really like to share more video of this thing in motion, but I don't think I can upload video to FA?

Wow I gotta say I love that talking animation. Its really dynamic and smooth and the mapping over the face itself is wonderful, ever think about making avatars for sale again? I did always love your style even back in the day.
Yay, thank you! :D I've definitely been considering it, and it's been one of my motivations with learning this! I keep hearing from people that there's not enough toony furry avs out there, and that's the kinda thing I'd wanna make.
Also because I feel like even if my stuff isn't nearly as good as other people's in some ways, I could still offer things they don't with my obsessive attention to detail even where it doesn't strictly matter (like the stuff I've been doing with the animations on this head is the simple version of the kind of thing I was considering for this stuff. XD Kinda just testing to see if I could get the basic functionality to work.

He's such a cutie uwu haha! Those animations look pretty awesome!
Glad you think so! And glad people seem to think this 3D version is so cute, ahah...since I was using the conversion to 3D as a way to help me tweak his design a bit like I've been wanting to for awhile (to try to make him look a bit cuter and younger, but still slightly creepy in a cartoonish sorta way).
You've made me wanna play on SL again lol, if you do end up making stuff on there, let me know!
SL can be a lot of fun...both for seeing people's fursonas actually moving around and doing things so it actually feels like them, and also for just doing the most ridiculous and stupid stuff and laughing about it, because you can do so much stupid stuff on SL (either intentionally or because something glitched, like a car spontaneously flying into the air). Like, it's a prime place for creativity of all sorts and it's fun to see, ahah.
And, will do!
And, will do!
Man you've seemed to nail it so far with the detailing!
(Any potential of 3D omorashi and bathroom failures in the future tho? >.> Askin for a friend.)

Whee, thank you!
I'm not even sure how bathroom failures in SL would work, with the needing to depict a liquid and all, ahah. But I'll admit I've entertained the idea of trying to make some 'need to pee' animations at some point for practice once I start trying to fully animate bodies, and I may end up doing that eventually for the fun of it even if I don't actually use them for anything. XD (especially since it'd be a prime opportunity for taking advantage of a bento face that can animate with it)

Yeah, you don't see much of SL watersports/omo stuff (Let alone ANIMATED stuff) around here, so you've got a market here for sure to lay claim on.
Heh, maybe people would wanna buy animations like that if I ever made them. XD Though sadly it's impossible to make face animations that work on more than one face model (for furries, at least), due to how hugely different the bones need to be for each one.
Ahhh these shots look awesome! The clips of him in motion have me freaking out too. The mouth movements are so believable and the hair movement seems natural, I love it.
He's lookin great and now I wanna pop on SL to see ya xD

Thank you! :D The hair still needs just a bit of tweaking to make it a better shape from some angles, I think (flexi is so difficult to work with for shapes), but I'm happy with how it moves!
Looking great!
I know this is a personal creation for yourself, but I know a great deal of people whom would kill for a good looking, non sculpty, ferret avatar! I could see this (or at least an edited version if you still want to keep a good deal of uniqueness to yourself) selling very decently on the Marketplace!

Thanks!
I'd probably start from scratch on the head for a vendor ferret, since so many little features everywhere are different, but a regular ferret av I'd make would definitely still have the same ear shape/positioning and the same shape to the side of the jaw where it connects, and still a big nose (though not that gigantic XD). I've also got some features I wanna add to my own av that I'd definitely wanna include in a vendor ferret (like making the tail able to fluff out).

This is AMAZING. That talk animation looks so FLUID compared to the simple jaw flaps even most Bento heads have these days.
You get this stuff figured out for a production av, and you'll turn the grid upside down.
Again. ^.=.^

Yay, thank you! Really wanted to take advantage of the fact that I could make it look smooth and natural with a bento head!
And it'd be awesome if I could! I love how I was sometimes able to inspire people with my old avs...it's a really cool feeling.

I still see your old avs around. Ran into two this week. The NWS rat is still the best-looking rodent on the grid.
That's one of the ones I especially want to make a mesh version of (for super long animated tail whipping about). :D
Oh man, I miss seeing your work in SL dude, that is awesome! Love the jaw animation and that hand motion is really nice too!
Thanks! Hopefully I can get good enough to make some new ones.
