Just wanted to share some alien clay puppets I made a while back for an claymation about a love triangle amongst aliens as they both vie for their charming boss and the situation gets pretty ugly. Introducing the characters:
Meet Zathura, the good girl and secretary of head honcho and swoon worthy, Casanova.
Meet Nebula: sexy, sultry, and definitely a bit of a bad girl. She's not afraid to do anything in order to get what she wants. Definitely more confident than Zathura as well as her complete opposite. Her interests are also peaked with player Casanova.
Casanova, is currently M.I.A., but I will post him later, hopefully with the finished claymation. It was a lot of fun making these characters. I made the bodies out of styrofoam, foil, and wire as an armature and then added molding clay as well as some pearl beads for the eyes. The clothes I sewed on them from scraps I had lying around. The good thing about the clay is that I can move these guys into different positions for the claymation since it doesn't dry.
