Body Rigging - The other three sides
I have created the controls for the last 3 sides to my model. I need to group all of the assets to my characters in the outliner, color individual controls and clean up my files. Once I have completed these tasks I will make a start on facial rigging.

Timeline - Personal Help
With Alan's advice I have roughly sketched out a timeline of my animation, marking the key points of change in the music. I have highlighted on the emotion, pitch and speed of the music. This has really helped me understand that the actions and movement in my animation need to flow with the music and to not feel separated.
I understand that my animation needs more continuity, as it feels very mechanical right now. I want to bring back the joy and emotion! I am hoping to achieve this by making each shot connect and relate to each other. Showing more of a journey, rather than just snapshots of a story.

Adding blend shapes to all the mid hand joints
I had forgotten to add blend shapes to the mid hand joints to each view of my character. Not all characters need this, but the mountain king has uniquely, shaped hands to fit with the 'UPA' Style. The blend shapes have helped clean up some of the geometry.

Back View - Smoothing (skinning) @Alan
For someone reason I really struggled to smooth the back view. I'm not sure that my skinning is completely accurate, especially in the hat's bobble because the bending looks unnatural and I couldn't figure out why.
I'm also not sure on what to do with the head? When I tilt the head it creates a gap, spoiling the illusion. However, the king doesn't tilt his head when he is facing backwards in the animation. He is only facing backwards when he is hanging over one of the loop shapes.
