Interestingly enough this came out of a mass of squiggles that some would call a jesture drawing. Seems to be alot easier to draw poses actions when you aren't worrying about every detail except one- make tones of squigglies till you have something sorta like something.

otter HEAVE! SUPER strong otter!

EDIT: I KNEW something looked off, I have the hands facing the wrong direction XD silly me, will fix that tomorrow.
