Newest Chimera: Surinam Toad


I have finally decided on my next chimera. I chose to use the Surinam Toad.

For more information on this toad, click on this link:

I have chosen this animal primarily because of it's unique reproductive habits. This creature literally gives birth through the mother's back. I am interested in the idea of carrying children and parenthood. Humans care for their children until they are ready to care for themselves. The Surinam Toad is similar in that they literally carry their children and provide nourishment for them through the skin until the offspring are developed into functioning toads from tadpoles. The child is completely dependent on the parent, and in a way acts like a leech. I think this will be a fascinating project to pursue.

Full Walk Cycle

Here is my fully functioning walk cycle. I am hoping to add at least two other animations that can be spliced together in different orders.
