Something quite far from my usual style here. Not sure how I ended up doing this, but it was refreshing to get out of my usual comfort zone.
 

Barnabas the Barmy

Another great moment from the Harry Potter books that unfortunatly never made it to the big screen:
"They hurried along the corridor to the place Dobby had described to Harry, a stretch of blank wall opposite an enormous tapestry depicting Barnabas the Barmy's foolish attempt to train trolls for the ballet."

Build-up puppets: Liquid rubber and such

I owe a lot of this sticky mess to Nick Hilligoss' awesome stop-motion puppet tutorials here.

I've finished the project now..

But I thought I'd still put up all my work-in-progress anyway. I decided on the design a bit late, so I made a quick model sheet:

Medieval Goblin

So, I think I've decided on the final design. Went from evil towards a more pathetic look:

PDP project

or "Professional Development Practise". Either way, it's time to start working on my self-chosen summer term project. After 3 months of 2d brain drain I decided to focus on puppets, which should (hopefully!) end in 10+ seconds of animation. Here are some of my first conceptual development designs for my character:
