I am working on a multi angled sprite based vector character. You change the angle, separate body and head, and the sprites (mouth, eyes, brows and hands) using fixed sliders.  
This is a first mock up of a head. (Only two angles and just a few sprites.)

This looks nice. Please could you also share the .sif file with the members, if you don’t mind.

I added two angles for the body and another slider that switches the body from front to 45 degrees. Before adding hand sprites I am going to try and rig both angles with bones first.

Latest addition of the multi angled character. Had some issues with attaching the heads to a bone without losing connection with the bodies. For now I solved it with a rotate and translation. Double click in the controls in sets to activate them. Sliders work as sliders do on the canvas.

Solved the issues with the head bones. The heads can be controlled with a bone now. Next step: add some hands.
