Animation Time! - Bald Eagle Rig

Today's Inspiration:
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.
