Animation Time! - Mr. Brightside Rig.

Today's Inspiration:
It's all intuitive. I just move the paint around, or whatever I'm working with, until it starts to reveal the story in the way I see it.

Animation Time! - Elephant Rig

Today's Inspiration:
I go instinctively on what some call the " first flash ". In other words you instantly see it in your mind and you just know how you have to play it. It's a pure gut-feeling. Not to say that you don't re-design and tweak things here and there. Some of my best ideas come in the sub-conscience ;
