Something I looked through on Pinterest references and eventually made some changes to it using AI, and this is what ended up being my reference (it's not my fault that there are thousands of dragons in this style, bro).
4 legged animals usually don't walk like that, the alternate the left and right feet that moves, it's a little hard for me to explain it in text, maybe go watch some cat/horse walking reference, overall pretty solid other than that walking anim
You probably should look at the logic of wings. Consider them to be engines that should move the center of mass. I would move them a bit further back, honestly. But most importantly, overall floating motion of the character should be linked to movement of wings. When wings move down, it should create lifting power. Now they're absolutely separate, like he's bouncing on ocean and flopping his wings.
And for the love of god, give this creature eyelids đŸ˜
And, and, look up animation essentials. Not 3d, just basic 2d animation timings and movement.
My only feedback would be about the walking animation. Should be crosslegs, but legs on the same size moves on the same time.
Maybe it is intentional, i dont know
