Animation Time! - Bald Eagle Rig

Today's Inspiration:
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Animation Time! - Ubershockies Rig

Today's Inspiration:
I think long over any work before I commit it to paper or canvas; nor do I let it go forth without careful correction and retouching.

It is an undertaking that I do not mean to hasten.
