Animation Time! - Miku Rig

Today's Inspiration:
"All the things have not been done in art that can and will be done. I don't think our bones and muscles will change much and that light will shine differently, so all the good rules will still hold. I can only say that you must have the courage of your convictions, believing that your way is right for you and for your time. Your individuality will always be your precious right and must be treasured. Take from the rest of us all that you can assimilate, that can become a part of you, but never still the small voice that whispers to you, "I like it better my way.""
