Lift & Toss Character Design

Here's my character model and pose sheet for my Weight Lift & Toss animation assignment. The character is Zagser, I drew him in my sketchbook not too long ago. I threw some color and stuff on it because the blandness of white paper was bothering me.

I'm hoping my design is relatively easy for me and won't cause too many headaches. I'm worried about the tail and spines. I had a hard enough time drawing it properly haha. I foresee frustration in the studio...

Yes he's going to throw a big friendly pill bug!
