Animation Time! - Mandarin Goby Rig

Today's Inspiration:
So I don't worry too much about the medium that it will be used in.
I just focus on the drawing itself, and making the drawing look right.

ntMonkey - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the ntMonkey rig.
NtMonkey slouches down and anticipates the jump. He then leaps upward with feet dragging and arms pulling inward. Just as he starts to drag back down the feet and hands slap back against the pillars and keep him held up.

Today's Inspiration:
For me, the perfect film has no dialogue at all. It's purely a visual, emotional, visceral kind of experience. And I think one can create wonderful depth and meaning and communication without using words. I started out as an illustrator and a cartoonist and caricature artist, as for me the visual is primary.
