That is really nice man. Really fluent and smooth, but I feel like I need to see a longer animation to make a proper judgement on rank

The jaw's onion skin trailing is quite questionable, it leaves its own trail very suddenly when the jaws open wider and thus ruptures the smoothness of the animation a little bit. The way the jaws gained momentum also seemed a bit out of proportion, they come to a stop rather easily which does not go too well with the way the jaws opened, they looked more powerful at first then suddenly slowed down, the neck also changed its route back to the original state very quickly, and while this can be done to look excellent it was done a bit oddly. But you have a great flow. The segments bend very well instead of staying stiff, the neck is always a way to put one's flow to the test and you got that really great. You also have a notion of easing which already gives your animation some good quality. The way the jaw closes does lack some proper acceleration to give it more life, but the animation is great.
I have seen your other stuff before, you have great potential to make it to Intermediate. The biggest problem with your animations imo is that you do not add a lot of force and weight into movements, you have good acceleration but you don't keep the pace of the movement in a very beliveable way. It is a very easy thing to fix though and some more awareness of that, keeping track of movements while you animate them would fix it easily. You should picture how the movement should go, to which part of your screen you want the stk to get to before it comes to a stop. Once done that, you should naturally be aware of where the movement will reach its maximum speed before it starts slowing down again, around the middle of the path it's going through. Movements are always during acceleration or desaceleration, so you want to move them different distances in each frame, constantly increasing for acceleration and constantly decreasing for desaceleration. You can practice this with a one joint stick to see how it works out, it will be easier to practice this when working with a simple stk then you just apply that to the other things you animate. This is High Beginner content, I'd say at the very start of High Beginner and coming just straight out of Medium. Good luck with your animation and I hope to see more soon!

Hey man, i had just saw it there, I deserve to be in high beginner, and well, the jaw also had no acceleration to it. I had the mouth of a crocodile closing in mind, and tried to do it like that.

YourAverageBritishThescelosaur It had acceleration but it was kinda off, even for the effect you wanted. Kinda knew you wanted that effect but the jaws clapping each other should give a more powerful effect. Still a very good animation though.
