Week 5 Taking off animation

So we had to make a team work with Tyler and Alan. Alan is making a rogue female and Tyler was doing Mage Female. Both will be fighting dragon at the end. However, i was braking my head to find out how to combine our animations. Still we have lots of time, but i really want to know it.
Nevertheless, i was busy making my dragon to take off animation. You remember i said walking and flying animations was hard? forget it... this one took a whole life out of me. I did a record on this of rage quiting... Used a bit of help from mate to get their feedback and advises how to make it. Here what i managed to make:

Week 4 Fly animation

So the most fun part was to make my dragon fly. Asked Phil few advises, as my flying animation was kinda...robot... style?! i guess. However, i really liked the way he was flying in the first place. After making him fly, i stuck at making this animation cycle. Took me 2-3 day to figure it out and still failed. Had to ask Phil again to help... He came, just sat there, took him 2 minutes to do it and its done. Im not that good at animation. But still i do love how it looks like
Here is the result

Week 3 Walk animation

So my next step is to make my dragon walk. It was quite hard and few time i managed to rage quit maya. As i broke my rig few times. After some time, i started to animate feet and the process went well. I asked few advises from Roshine and used youtube videos to guide me. I found few interesting videos where some guy showes how to make a walking dragon. There was only one small problem, the dragon was different from mine, but i got the point how to make him move.
Here is what i came up with

week 2 Idle animation

I managed to play around with the dragon and its quite interesting. However its a bit hard to control it. Maybe because i m not used to it.
Here is what i came up with.
Hope this video will upload.
Anyway i made my head to move and so his jaw, to make it look like he is breathing. Also made his body to move with a tale as well.
It was quite easy to make idle pose.
