I decided to try a little something different today. I was inspired a lot by the short stop-motion film, Madame Tutli-Putli (link is in post further down), where they digitally placed real human eyes on the clay puppets, so I decided to try it. For my first time, I'm really happy with how it looks! I'm definitely going to use this technique in the future.
I decided for experimenting's sake, I wouldn't put a lot of time into the clay head. I just needed something to get the general form down. This is the picture I used:
Pretty simple, right? Not too many shadow shapes, etc. Next time I do this i'll be more concienctious of the light source.
Then, I took a photo of myself. PLEASE excuse the ridiculousness of this photo.
Finally, I spent the rest of the time putting in some skin tones, hair, etc, etc. The background's a bit plain right now, but you get the idea. It was mostly just an experiment.

Enjoy!
I really love it. As I look at it and picture you making it, I wonder what is going on in your subconscious to make the decisions you have made. Why the nose shape, hair style, clothes..... Influences?? really fun!!
ReplyDeletei agree, you should do more of this in the future. i loved that aspect of the animated short, and wondered how it might be used for illustration as well. i've seen it in another short, actually superimposed onto very 2-D/cartoon modern looking images and it still worked great. fun stuff!
