Animation Time! - Fuzzy Cartoon Rig

Today's Inspiration:
I like individual characters. It shows in my personality. I’m not good in crowds and avoid groups a lot yet eye the movement and actions of others from afar and cast judgement... Yes, I live in a fantasy world in my mind, yes, yes…I know, I know..but the voices in my head sing so well together.
