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.
