Scorpio Ship - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Scorpio Ship Rig.
Base - light up and down and tilt side to side
Legs - front legs lead the movement, middle legs follow,  back legs offset the front
Arms - light push out and forward with extension and twist in the blades
Blades - spin and twist at a medium pace
Tail - coils back and lashes out
Missiles and Bottom wheel - bounce and drag from the movement of the base

Animation Time! - Scorpio Ship Rig

Today's Inspiration:
Well, I do expect a lot of myself. I'm a harsh critic because I know what I'm capable of. I have hit those occasional peaks amongst the valleys, but the peaks are so few-things like genuine flashes of virtuoso brush inking, like I've never executed before or since-I can count on one hand the number of jobs where I've been able to hit that mark. The same with penciling. Sometimes it just flows, but more often than not, it's pure physical and spiritual torment just to get something decent on paper. I often get very discouraged with the whole creative process.
