Animation Time! - Quatchi Rig

Today's Inspiration:
It's not in the draftsmanship, it's in the man. Like I say, a tool is dead. A brush is a dead object. It's in the man. If you want to do it, you do it.

I've never done anything half-heartedly; it's a disservice to me and the audience if I do it half-heartedly.
