Animation Time! - Fishtank Face Rig



Today's Inspiration:
My night thoughts lately have been along the lines of: “Do I have it in me to do another computer game? Is this what I want to do? Can I do it? What if the code-writing part of my brain has atrophied? Will I fail ignominiously? Should I just turn to screenwriting full-time?”

It doesn’t really matter a whole lot what they think – I’m the one that has to do it – but it sure as hell wouldn’t hurt to have them enthusiastic. In a few months I should have something to thrill them.

Victor Walk - Walk a Day

Today's Walk is a Victor Walk.
Head - light tilt side to side, with a little bounce and overlap on the jaw
Chest - puffed out, light sway and twist side to side
Hips - rotate to offset the chest, light delay, twist to favor the next step
Legs - low medium steps
Feet - drag back on the passing position, land with a little toe flop
Arms - loosely bent, with a medium swing
Hands - relaxed clench, overlap and drag from the swing of the arms and forearms extending into the fingers and thumbs
