Final and progress videos of my attempt at animating a dragon in a flying cycle and a landing segment with a hint of characteristics at the end. Overall I think it turn out okay, though due to time I would of liked to make a few more movements to be a bit more fluid like changing the tail animations, but considering this was my first time animating a dragon I think it was a good effort. The wing animation took a while to get looking right with a lot of tweaking and working with the rig as there was some intersecting earlier. Using reference from other dragons from shows and knowledge I knew about how the wings bend and fold in. Though some wing strokes look a little flat which might be due to the camera position or that I did too small of a movement.
This was only part of the animation I had in mind but due to time I had to cut it short.
