Animation Time! - Scorpy Rig

Today's Inspiration:
back in those days no one was looking over your shoulder to make sure your work was PC. You made cartoons to entertain yourself, not the suits at the studio.

Animation Time! - Crysis Nanosuit

Today's Inspiration:
Like all great things, Kley’s work gives more than one can take. The further one delves into, learns from, studies, abandons, argues with, capitulates to, embraces, and honors his work, the more one feels justified in paying even closer attention to it.
