A Swamp Monster (OUAN402)

I'm very excited to get into stop motion. I have an absolutely HILARIOUS plan for a cracking stop motion animation with a swamp monster in it, but it's too long and complex for me to tackle at my current level.

But that doesn't mean I can't DESIGN a swamp monster.

First I tested a few swamp monster faces. The eyes were the hardest part because I didn't want them to look too human-ey but I also didn't want them to look creepy.

Then I did some character designs for the swamp monster. I liked the sort of dumpy looking one who isn't holding any tea

I know it lacks some detail. I will add in scales or something on a later model.

And then I built it out of plasticine and placed it on my window. Now I can sleep safe in the knowledge that it will either protect or kill me in my bed.
