Monkey Island - Guybrush Rig by Emilio Serrano
Monkey Island Guybrush Rig for Maya is a free mGear rig of Guybrush Threepwood, rigged by Emilio Serrano on Abel Oroz's model. It is a whole package rather than a bare rig: an AnimPicker for body, face and extras, a statue pose scene, a walking test animation to study, and SK_Guybrush.fbx for real-time engines. Made for comedy acting, adventure game shots and reel pieces.

Latest rig updates
Monkey Island is out
Everything the rig ships with. What you get on day one:
AnimPicker for body, face and extras
Pick body, face and extra controls from the picker instead of hunting through the viewport.
Statue pose scene
A posed scene file with Guybrush and a statue, so you can start staging a story beat straight away.
Walking test animation
Emilio's own walk is in the download. Open it, scrub it and study the timing before you key your own.
SK_Guybrush.fbx
An in-game-ready FBX ships alongside the Maya rig for prototyping in a real-time engine.
The story behind Guybrush
The accidental pirate, ready for comedy acting in Maya
Guybrush Threepwood is the accidental pirate with undying optimism: lanky, charming and always out of his depth. Abel Oroz's model keeps the silhouette people remember from Monkey Island, the spindly frame, the ponytail and the earnest face of a man who thinks he can outsmart a demon pirate.
Those gangly proportions make physical comedy easy to find, and the face is built for the expressions that define him: wide-eyed surprise, scheming grins and puppy-dog disappointment. Emilio Serrano rigged him on mGear and packed the download with a pose scene, a walk and an engine FBX, so whether you are studying timing, prototyping a game or staging an adventure vignette, Guybrush arrives ready to work (after a pint of grog).
