4:1 Scale Legoman

Collaborative reference sculpt for Animation students

Rod and stick puppet ‘Fairy Godmonkey’

Based on Roal Doahl’s version of Cinderella, which we preformed and I was the puppeteer.Was a collaboration project, I made everything but the brow, ears and nose.

Chose a beetle and made a wire armature for me to build up on top of with Plastaline/ Super Sculpy/ Milliput. Then I made a silicone mould from which I made fast-cast casts.
