Creature - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Creature Rig.
Head - focused forward, light tilt and sway side to side, with extra jaw drag and flop
Chest - crouched down and bent over, light raise and twist to allow for the next arm movement
Hips - rotate to offset the chest and allow for the next step
Legs - low, small, wide gaited steps
Feet - drag back on the passing position, land with extra flop on the toes
Arms - propel the movement forward, medium small movements
Hands - press against the ground, drag back on the passing position, land with a little compression in the fingers

Animation Time! - Creature Rig

Today's Inspiration:
Drawing comes naturally, but also, it is hard work. It never gets easier. You soon find it's hard to draw, but you do it, because you don't know how to do anything else.
