in the days before cameras this would've become a legendary local cryptid. in the 21st century we're calling it Jimothy
A unique raccoon was spotted in Seattle A raccoon named Jimothy with a rare short spine syndrome was roaming the streets, stealing food from trash cans and frightening locals with his unusual appearance. At first, residents were startled by the strange-looking animal, but he later became a local celebrity, with people even making memes and drawings of him.

A test of animating in different styles! This is for an upcoming masterclass I'm giving at BFX Festival. 5 hours worktime for these tests. One more to go! #animation

Fantastic example! It might be tempting to spin from the hip controller, but for a physically accurate spin the body would rotate around its center of gravity (COG) - which for someone curled up actually places it outside the body and roughly in the center of the curled 'ball'

Fun to do in 2D too
For beginner animators, I recommend the following short & simple drill to train your eye sensitivity for timing and spacing using most 2D/3D animation packages (Maya in this case) 1/8

One of the most fun parts of animating for me is pushing the poses on anim layers, beyond what I had initially imagined would look good. Iteration is key! #animtip
