Animation Time! - Fishtank Face Rig

Today's Inspiration:
My night thoughts lately have been along the lines of: “Do I have it in me to do another computer game? Is this what I want to do? Can I do it? What if the code-writing part of my brain has atrophied? Will I fail ignominiously? Should I just turn to screenwriting full-time?”

It doesn’t really matter a whole lot what they think – I’m the one that has to do it – but it sure as hell wouldn’t hurt to have them enthusiastic. In a few months I should have something to thrill them.

Animation Time! - Victor Rig

Today's Inspiration:
... in order to maintain my enthusiasm, to start all over every time. I can’t forget what I’ve already done and learned. But I have to do something different enough that I feel like I’m learning again. That’s what makes the work interesting to me, and that’s what makes me want to go back to the drawing table.
