Mother's Days : They're ALIVE!



Here is a segment of animation with a temporary car interior to see how these characters look when brought to life. It's a little choppy but I'm pleased with the outcome for my first attempt at stop-motion.

Credit for this bin goes to Mark, he made it from Balsa Wood and painted it all to the design of my concept art.

Mother's Days : Hand Crafted Props : Fish 'n' Chips

These fish and chips are made from Fimo, then a mix of airbrushing and paintbrush application. 

I included a picture on my hand to show the scale of them
