Piranha - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Piranha Rig.
The Piranha anticipates the jump, and leaps out of the water with the head leading and tail dragging. Upon landing he bobs and recoils a little until he steadies himself, all the while swimming forward.

Today's Inspiration:
I draw according to my mood. I am away from my desk for several days when I'm not inspired and do not leave it when ideas come to me! This is a very hard job and in fact that really takes a lot of
mental energy.

Sam - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Sam Rig.
Sam sits on the ledge waiting to jump. He anticipates and then pushes off. Throwing his hands up and over he lands feet first. Upon landing his body recoils with a little up and down and squash and stretch extending throughout.
