I’ve had a few goes at the concept of a damaged android. This one’s alot closer to how I originally envisaged the idea. I’m quite pleased at how it’s come out.
The paint job looks quite realistic and is (hopefully) pretty subtle, I just applied thin washes of red and brown to various areas and it’s really brought it to life.
Here’s a video looking at the piece
This is an earlier version of the same idea.
The final puppet was articulated to an extent – it’s head,eyes and jaw could move. I also added a left arm so I could puppeteer it picking things up.
It started as a sculpture in Chavant. The plan was to cast it up in silicon and articulate it. With this in mind I ordered some glass eyes to give it a more realistic look.
I used the puppet to do a short animation
