Motion studies 3D: tiger walk

I found this task of making a tiger walk very difficult! As it was my first ever four legged walk cycle. 

Before going straight into animating the tiger, I looked at lots of references studying videos of them moving naturally, and also frame by frame photos. This really helped me as I could work out the timing of the steps and also pick up on their mannerisms. I observed that tigers rotate their paws in the air, their head and tail also swing from side to side, and their shoulder blades really lift up when their foot lands. I'm proud of my final video, as it was something that I found difficult however I know there are a few things I could still improve on, as the last step doesn't look quite right.
