Velocicheetah

On Friday I had the great pleasure of going to a workshop with Terryl Whitlatch, well known for her Star Wars creature designs. The first half of the day was a lecture on animal anatomy where she took a design she had made and broke down it's skeletal structure and muscle structure. The last half of the day we were given an assignment to design a creature from a far away planet that had adapted to a desert climate or an arctic climate.

I chose to design a cheetah like feline that had evolved to run on it's hind legs much like a raptor.
