Leading on from last terms work, I pulled up the turnaround to consider what the best way of turning this character into a model could be.
As this character has a very bulky shape but moves in a fluid and liquid motion, I feel that making this a non-moving maquette would be the best approach, especially if I'm figuring out how to make the bird puppets move; I have the opportunity to experiment through mobility with those characters.
The purpose of this maquette is to experiment with materials, sculpting and characterisation. I want the cloak especially to look as if it were moving, made from shadows with an ethereal feel about it.
The kind of materials I'll be using consist of chicken wire, modrock, tissue paper, fabric, plastic etc. What I want to avoid is accidentally making it look patchwork and messy; there should definitely be a flow to this piece,
Below I've begun to plan out the structure of the piece. At the moment this is just an idea and I've yet to take measurements, I'm currently just figuring out a way to uphold structure through a support system.
This would be created out of chicken wire (the grey area) and a wooden base with a metal pole supporting it.
