Animation Time! - Ultimate Ball Rig


Today's Inspiration:
You know, a painter, as well as an actor must be able to experience all the adventure of his drawing in his imagination. If he wants to paint a horse that swims the rapids, he must be on that horse for a while.

Mandarin Goby - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Mandarin Goby rig.
Mandarin Goby lays nearly lifeless and flops over and forward. He then flops again and again, until there is no flop left to be flopped.

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.
