'Huntress' Character Sculpts

'Bird'

For our first collaborational piece, we were instructed to create clay character headsculpts for the third year animation students, using their 360 character illustrations for reference. My character was 'bird', the animators who requested the piece asked that we make the neck and head joints visible for their stop motion animation as a stylistic feature. They also requested further help with creating a prototype set of wings, which allowed them to experiment with how the bird would move. Both models are sculpted from Plaxton with internal aluminium armatures that gives them additional strength.
