Animation Time! - Panther Grouper Rig

Today's Inspiration:
You learn patience and persistence when learning to be an animator, you know?
So that’s all there really is to say. Just keep going. Just keep at it.
It you have an idea or a vision to do something, just keep at it.… Just keep at it and you’ll get there.
