Animation Time! - Panther Grouper Rig


Today's Inspiration:
You learn patience and persistence when learning to be an animator, you know?
So that’s all there really is to say. Just keep going. Just keep at it.
It you have an idea or a vision to do something, just keep at it.… Just keep at it and you’ll get there.

Ward Walk - Animation Time!

Today's Walk is a Ward Walk.
Head - bounces and flops up and down with a little side to side, extending into the hat
Chest - light side to side tilt and bounce
Hips - rotate to offset the chest and allow for the next step
Legs - medium high steps
Feet - rotated inward drag back and flop down with overlap on the toe
Arms - bounce, with a little compress and extend
Hands - extra floppy, overlap and drag from the movement of the arms and forearms extending into the fingers and thumbs
