I've sent another draft to Nicholas that has the IK/FK switch included and a few more changes.

There are still a few issues I'm working on -

• Controls a bit ugly (IK/FK switch is just a circle above the elbows, FK controls for arms not placed very well).
• Need to add spine controls. In an earlier e-mail, I believe Nicholas requested rings. However, the torso of the character is getting a little messy, so I've asked him if he still would prefer rings or if lollipop controls would be acceptable. 
• Thumb controls still rotate weirdly, don't know why.

I obviously also need to skin the character. I have cut away and hidden some of his geometry, which should help the penetration issue that would have arisen otherwise.
