I'm just going to post this because I likely won't finish it. It was based off a very cool tutorial on Pinterest but I messed up the angles on the original body (minus the wings) and the angles are wrong. I'll probably try this again with a better idea of what I'm doing later. For now, have this derpy griffin.
What I learned: Angles, particularly those of the head and shoulder area (aka, where moving parts attack) are very important to get right in the original sketch before animating.
