For this project I decided to study Gods and mythical creatures from the ancient Egyptian period. I analysed their form and meanings by researching ancient hieroglyphs and manuscripts. I used what I had discovered to help fuel my own imagination to design, make and animate my own characters.
To create my puppet, firstly I designed a basic Aluminum armature with joints that would accurately fit inside my model.
Materials :
Armature : Aluminum wire
Head : Polymer Clay ( Super Sculpey ) , and Acrylic eyes.
Body : Soft foam covered with a latex skin , with a faux fur outer.
Hands: Polymer Clay ( Super Sculpey )
Feet : Polymer Clay ( Super Sculpey )
Armour / Jewellery : Aluminum
I then made a short/basic stop time animation with my character using a flying rig to support its weight.
