About the stiffness: http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2006/05/animation-school-lesson-5-line-of.html
Some of your poses look stiff because they don't have a natural, believable line of action. For example, your "Irondramon" doesn't look stiff, because the combined directions of its spine and limbs follow a uniform, natural-looking line that curves, even subtly. Your last two figures, however, have lines of action that are essentially straight and rigid - which doesn't look believable simply because real life organic forms aren't as linear.

Yep, the very John Kricfalusi! Awesome blog. Partly because it's still updated and also because he isn't afraid to criticise and bash even the big studio feature animations that everyone seems to glorify. Also there's authenticity in the fact that he's a well-known, successful animator.
That said sometimes I'm reluctant to agree with his ideals and have trouble following some of his logic. I guess you have to keep an open mind about certain things no matter where they come from. Still a fantastic learning resource though.
