Some higher quality pictures of my Alestes puppet from my Trice Forgotten animation as well as some set props and pictures from the process of making the puppet.
Image descriptions below
1 - Front view of the Alestes puppet
2 - Side view of the Alestes puppet
3 - Alestes puppet posed at a 3/4 angle while holding her sword and looking into the camera
4 - Alestes puppet next to a ruler showing that she is about 10.5 inches (26.67 cm) tall
5 - Zoomed out image of the full set and puppet while the animation was being shot. Alestes is facing a barrel and holding her sword towards it. A webcam is taped to a box and angled slightly upward.
6 - Two of the barrels built for the set. The left is a barrel used only in the background, so it's less detailed and only has three metallic rings. The right is one of the two barrels used close up, so it is fully detailed, has all six metallic rings, and the seam going through the center is covered.
7 - Close up of Alestes's sword and coin purse with a quarter for scale. (Side note: The sword handle is wrapped in steel wire painted brown, and the coin purse has a ball of steel wire inside so that both props would stay attached to the magnet in Alestes's right hand while animating)
8 - Front and side drawing of the design for Alestes's puppet and armature.
9 - The assembled pieces of Alestes's armature laid over it's corresponding parts of the original design to show how it will come together
10 - The fully assembled armature for the Alestes puppet
11 - The assembled armature covered with foam to give it the shape of her body except for the head, hands, and boots
12 - Maquette of the puppet's hands made from gray Plastalina
13 - Maquette of the puppet's boots made from gray Plastalina. The folded over tops of the boots are sculpted and attached later to prevent undercuts while casting.
14 - Open molds for the head, hands, and boots
15 - Armature with foam and attached hands and boots made of silicone
