Major Project: Sea Mink Rigged and Skinned

The last of the lot to be rigged and skinned, although it was already skinned for the Minor, refinements and new rig parts were needed for a better animated character. As a result, I have made a run cycle of the Mink. I hope to use this cycle for the animating stage itself as I have taken account the timing of the music and the running. The finale version of The Carnival of The Animals has a rate of 99 beats per minute (bpm). With this in mind, I've tried to have the mink run in sync to each beat using a metronome. The result is the video below. :D

For comparison, here is the old rig from the Minor Project. (below)
