Star Ranger 4... the more I look at your creature, the more I want to see it from other angles and, more importantly, I want to see what it's kids look
like.
And Bob, I've read what you said about crawling, so I tried to make a sort of slug like creature, but as soon as you put things on it, the crawling
movements start to look odd. I think the entire segment that touches the ground needs to have nothing attached to it for it to not look ugly as soon as it
moves.
Oh and, regarding mono legged creatures, there's a very neat example of that amongst the pre-made creatures.
One thing I've noticed is that attaching head parts and legs too close to each other can cause problems since the animation engine has trouble deciding if
it's an head, or an hip. So walking looks odd and the various animations that make the head move also look odd.
-Edit-
Never mind the fact that, when idle, the creature tends to look around which looks HIDEOUS if it doesn't have a neck of some sort.
