Just seen this and thought id chime in...better late than never. 

As others have said, its time consuming and tedious.

Make a linked posable skeleton with cylinders as bones and spheres as joints.

always start with the parent joint......shoulder joint moves whole arm, elbow joint moves forearm and hand, wrist, fingers, etc.

chest sphere as parent. when it moves, whole upper body moves. Shoulder joint spheres and neck joint spheres and head are linked to chest sphere.

Chest sphere is linked to a midsection and waist sphere. Waist sphere is the main parent...when it moves everything moves.

Hip joint spheres attached to waist spheres with legs attached same as arms.

 

Skin it with metaballs, link each metaball to its proper skeletal cylinder.

When posed with joint sphere, metaskin will conform in a satisfactory way.

 

Works better for nonhuman creatures. Humans have too detailed fetures for Bryce.
