I drew this reference to give better context for Creature's legs and back, as well as help visualize the arm patterns.
Lower Legs
This shows that the rear of the lower legs are primarily flat grey, in the same way that the inner arms are. Spotting will become visible towards the red fur near the joints, where the pattern originates.
Upper Legs
The rear of the upper legs is primarily flat black. Towards the outside, the hip stripes are visible. Towards the inside, the grey patch from the thighs wraps around to the tail. This pattern has been reduced in size from my previous reference, so that it does not interfere with the hip stripes.
Hip Stripes
This is a good place to note the position of the hip stripes. The long red fluff begins at the top of the pelvis, and ends near the hip joint. The first crescent begins just below the hip joint, and wraps from front to back with the same width as the red fluff. The following crescents descend in shape and size, abd end just beneath the halfway point of the upper leg.
Back Pattern
I will go into specifics on the back pattern in a dedicated illustration. Note that the stripes occur in sets. Each set has a different length and angle than the adjacent set. The top 2 occur on the neck. The center 3 wrap to the sides. The bottom 2 converge with the tail.
Arms
The arms do not need much explanation. The red fluff cups the shoulder and elbow joints. Note that the elbow fluff starts at the halfway point, roughly over the joint. When viewed from the side, it has 50% more length than height. This also shows how rotation effects the arm pattern. The black stripe always goes from elbow to hand, and the spots follow it.
Front of Neck
Due to the pose, this is the first image that helps show the grey stripe down the neck. It covers the underside of the jaw, from chin to cheekbone. From the cheekbone, it follows the neck muscle to the collarbone.
