Animating a dragon ~ part eight ~ animating a bat-like ground movement cycle

 With this animation, I was taking primary reference from this gif of a bat doing a weird hop thing, I figured it had potential to create a feral movement for a dragon.


First I started with the arm movement and the body movement.

This movement resulted in a sort of funny hop movement with the legs. Something that had to be fixed however.

Having next animated the legs as well as the head movement, the animation was starting to come together. However, the head movement felt too fast, and the tail also needed movement.

After animating the tail and tweaking the head movement, I was left with this, of which I am quite pleased, however it does feel a little bit goofy, perhaps it would be good as a start to a take off or just after a landing.
