Animation Time! - Max Rig


Today's Inspiration:
We're always pray to our influences and sometimes wish we could shake them off. But we are what we are. I guess you build on what you learn and start doing more of the things you like and less of what you don't like.

Animation Time! - Kidoo Rig


Today's Inspiration:
There’s nothing I hate more than drawing a straight line or skyscraper that needs to have correct perspective. I love everything to look like it’s made of melted butter. Jumping into the creator-owned world, you try to add to the landscape in a way that wouldn’t fit at the other publishers.
