Skin and Bones - Creature Designs

Exercise I did based on an assignment from Marc Taro Holmes "Designing Creatures and Characters".
Task was to pick an animal skeleton existing in real-life and designing a bunch of creatures with the same skeletal structure on top of it.
Some are from imagination, some are mash-ups of existing animals.
