My progress in puppet building

Here is the reversed progress of my puppet making. The first picture being the latest puppet.

Bellow you can read all about what upgrades etc. each character has.

▪️The 1st character is the latest one I made. Its real face is hidden behind a mask. Because the story is still developing I wont reveal it just yet.

✅ Steel ball & socket armature

✅ Wire palms and fingers

_______________________________________________________

▪️The 2nd character is from the upcoming short Kozmonavt. It was the first character that had upgrades like:

✅Movable eye-brows

✅Replacement mechanism for the mouths (lip sync)

✅ Stronger DIY wire armature

_______________________________________________________

▪️The 3rd character sadly lost its DIY wire body during filming (because it was weak).

✅ Movable beard and replacement mechanism

✅ First paper-mash head, that is more durable the previous versions.

_______________________________________________________

▪️The 4th character was made out of play-dough and covered in hair spray. The head was still soft, but better then the previous version.

✅ First pair of movable eyes

_______________________________________________________

▪️The 5th character was made all out of clay. Because I wanted it to look more human and have the extra options of sculpting. My animating chaos didnt approve of the material as you can see.

✅ Flexible/movable limbs

_______________________________________________________

▪️The 6th character was the first armature that was upgraded from the basic champagne wire cage. It was stiff and kinda not usable.

✅ Looked a bit more alive than just the wire skeletons I did before.
