Astronaut

This is the last character that I got to make for my 3D illustration class this semester.  I created this astronaut for an 11 second storyboard.  I worked in a group of two people, and they also created their own characters (I might post pictures later on this week).  The awesome part is, at least I get to see my character in a 3D form.

Materials: Sculpey (helmet, hands, boots), wire, foam, fabric, cardboard, canvas, shoelaces, and acrylic paint.

Agent Smartmouth

In my 3D illustration class, I created a character who would be the mascot/spokesperson for a mouthwash company.  So I decided to make a secret agent/spy, because she is always ready to-go with her mouthwash, which is her secret weapon in killing bad breath.  On her utility belt, she has a rope of floss and some toothbrushes, and a backpack that carries extra of all of her spy gadgets.

Knee Deep in Thunder

A couple weeks ago, I made a post of the two characters (Maris and Exi the beetle) that I made for my 3D illustration class.  I have since made an environment for them, and photographer Chris Simmons helped photograph them.  The final step was to turn one of the photos into a book cover.

Knee-Deep in Thunder Characters

These are both characters that I made for my 3D illustration class.  The girl's name is Maris and the beetle's name is Exi.  They are both main characters from the book Knee-Deep in Thunder by Shelia Moon.

Maris’s head, hands, legs and shoes are made out of super sculpey. Her body is a wire armature covered in foam and duct-tape. Her hair is made out of string and painted brown. Her skirt and jacket is a cut-up pair of jeans, and shirt is a blue piece of fabric with painted stripes. 

Exi is made from wire and foil armature, covered in super sculpey and paint.
