The Tarkiek is a sci-fi tiger created as the antagonist for the project "Seeking Sanctuary (2022)". It was animated in Maya and exported into Unreal Engine 5 as an Alembic file (the rig was very messy so traditional FBX.s wouldn't work)
The rig was aquired online, with the final model being grafted onto the rig later down the pipeline - so animations could be done on time.
I've included a shot progression video, showing each shot as it was being animated in Maya
