Final Result
Breakdown
Puffin
This was my first time rigging a bird, so I looked up video references about how they move, the way their wings flap, and how their legs bend. At first I was a little confused about how the legs bend, but thye are similar to other animals including humans. Puffins are such fascinating creature and I had fun rigging the body!

Narwhal
The narwhal was another strange creature, but I still throughly enjoyed rigging it! The animator only asked for simple movement, so I just added a rig set up with both FK and IK functionality for the body.
Sheep
The sheep was one of the first quadrupeds that I had rigged with forelegs and hindlegs. There were a lot of fur controls that the animators asked me to add, so it took quite a bit of time, but I think it came out pretty well.
