Model Making #2

Model-Making
The one I was working on before just looked way too human.

The proportions weren't right.

Wanted to try a different medium.
But I don't want to give up... I know I've already done quite a bit of work on my 3D model, but this is what I'm enjoying, so I want to make sure that it's as good as it can be. Having a brief asking me to make a 3D model is pushing me to show how far I can take this process.

Using Snot instead of Scrat to get a more chubby, beatly look. He's grosser and weirder than Scrat, so let's make him a body.

Plasticine on a wire frame. Super easy to mold and shape.

Coming together.

I decided to use white plasticine rather than a out-of-the-packet colour so that I can paint it by hand like LAIKA, hoping to avoid a flat, block colour in the skin and achieve a more realistic skin tone (albeit a green one).

Working from my drawings and making the lil' critter. He looks much weirder than the previous model WHICH IS A GOOD THING. I want it to look odd and gross, far removed from human.

Think it's going to be quite easy to skew the face, pushing the mouth down or eyelids over to change the expression for each frame.

Mmm. That bogey green is much better! Yeaaah! It's creating a mottled look on the skin too. Proper happy with how that's looking! He's still pose-able and he photographs really well.

Just need to finish him off. Maybe give him some clothes. How will I add hair?
