Ball King - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Ball King Rig.
The ball king reaches up, misses, and reaches again. When he realized he can't reach, he droops back down, with delay and swing back in the arms extending out to the fingers.






Animation Time! - Ball King Rig


Today's Inspiration:

Animation Time! - Dumb Man Rig


Today's Inspiration:
Yeah. Nothing was ever good enough. Therefore it couldn't be seen by anyone because it would reflect poorly on him.
