[Mixamo Contest] Zombie Puppeteer

The_Onomatopoeia · Oct 2012

I'm gonna jump in on this contest and go with a zombie puppeteer. trying for something stylized and trying to go somewhat with the story that goes with the contest. I want my character to tell the story of this puppeteer who made a puppet out of one of the pumpkins and when he tried it out started fusing to his arm. So he amputated his own arm but it was too late and so now his pumpkin puppet is controlling him instead. something along those lines of a puppet turning the reigns around.

lol postulio reference.

nice, I really like the one with the pumpkin on top of the zombie

Wow... What a unique idea. I love it.
I agree with Cuban: the sketch with the pumpkin on his head looks awesome.

screwing around in sculptris made a bust concept for some quick paintovers and stuff gonna finish the rest of the body to see how to do things like the puppet strings.

Wow what a great start!
Again: I really like the art style. Props!

Jhonen is the man and probably one of my biggest influences. This will probably be a mix between him and Jim Henson hopefully.

ok started playing around with the body proportions. need another pair of eyes to point out what can improve this. planning on making the stance a lot more asymetrical and what not. was wondering if it would be ok to make him in this stance or the typicle T stance cause i do plan on rigging and animating him if i finish in time for the frankenstein contest. also do we have to use the autorigger thingy or can we rig them ourselves? crits and comments always helpful thanks!

Trying to come up with clothing options. hard to make it look like a puppeteer thinking about having puppet string wrapped around his neck. any ideas?

If you want to rig the character yourself and try to upload to Mixamo, please do! P.S. love the progress, very creative!
