Animation Time! - Toon Boy Rig

Today's Inspiration:
Drawing is the art of observation and communication... the most important consideration in making pictures... if you're able to draw you can devote yourself to saying what you think and feel.

Teddy 1.0 - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Teddy 1.0 Rig.
Teddy anticipates the kick then hops up and kicks out. When he kicks out his arms pull in and flap out as the foot beings to drop. The hips then shoot down and recoil back up with reverberations extending throughout the body.

Today's Inspiration:
I’m a full time student. The goal is to be the best that I can be given the time I have here and to see how far the experience takes me.
