Animation Time! - Mr. Big Shot Rig

Today's Inspiration:
I kept saying to myself, “If these guys can do this kind of work, then maybe I’ll be able to be that good — or better.”

It never intimidated me — just the opposite. It gave me more incentive to go ahead and do my own stuff. But an art form, or a lower form of art? I never thought of that. I just loved to do it.

Mr. Stills - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Mr. Stills rig.
Mr. Stills puffs out his chest and anticipates the jump. He then pushes off and over, throwing this arms out and feet back as he jumps down. He lands feet first with hands and torso following with a bit of recoil and reverberation not to mention a little delay on his magnificent hat.

Animation Time! - Mr. Stills Rig

Today's Inspiration:
What's all the noise for? If I need more drawings. I'll just do more drawings. I'm an artist not a business.
