Animation Time! - Mortimer (Monster) Rig

Today's Inspiration:
you don’t question it, you just start building it and make it what it is, and tell the story along the way.

[The process] is never the same, sometimes it’s very smooth, and other times it’s just beating your head against a brick wall until you’re bloody, then coming out the other side in a better place for it.

Animation Time! - Mortimer Rig

Today's Inspiration:
I’m one of those illustrators who will remained strapped to the drawing for days on end if somebody doesn’t stop me

Keep at it!  Draw what you love, not what you think others will like or what's in vogue.
