Funko Pop Customs - created from scratch for a private project. Sculpted and baked in super sculpey, then hand painted and paired with digitally designed and assembled box replicas that I created in Photoshop.
Armature building - using joints from John Wright Modelmaking, I created my own bespoke ball & socket armature. With no intention of fabricating it, I purposefully gave him exaggeratedly larger features for charm.
Tree puppet - From a previous short film, wire armature and mixed materials.
