Armature Design, Make & Sculpt

Neil Derbyshire - Stop Motion Puppet

This is the armature design I made for Sam Tipper at StudioMe. It's a simple armature for a Modelling clay puppet.

Neil close to final finish,
I made his coat as flat layers of modelling clay with the side seams open. This was in order to remove the legs if necessary. The eyes are beads ste into the clay and the glasses made from a monofiliment of electrical wire plastic coated in black.
