Sitting Character floating

Hello, animation almost complete except for the floating issue.  Character is sitting.  Rigging to feet, head and arms, all working find.  Followed online tutorials to create Frontal layer, I have various fixed handles in place.  What else can I do? TIA

Thanks! Try this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AUUIVBqtvhkC4qN3kdNXCnqLZEo72lXn/view?usp=sharing

 

Doing the extra head pivot hack like you did (two head tags) makes things a little more complex than usual. The main problem was having a lot of thing independent that didn't need to be. I also removed Limb IK as it didn't seem to be adding anything to the way your character was rigged. There's still a little movement on the bottom that could be fixed, but overall the floatiness should be gone.

    A floating character is usually because there are no fixed handles on the legs, or the legs/body are independent.

     

    If it persists, could you take a screenshot of your Rig mode or File > Export > Puppet and share it as a link (Creative Cloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) so we could take a closer look?
