Character Round-up

Talented animator, Gustavo Arteaga was kind enough to ask whether I made my own characters for my projects. I said yes and collected a few sketches to give him the idea. I added a few more and put them here, in case anyone else might want to see the gang all together, and often in the all-together!

Tarn the Crow Woman sketch


the Time Frog sketch with the Time Flies (Musca Tempora)

The Koi of Enlightenment puppet seen in the pond. He rises up from the depths only for a moment.
Kyra, the black Mermaid sketch from photo of her large sculpt. Undersea she turns blue and the shells woven into her hair turn to pure gold.
Rana sketch, showing how she'll carry the small chocolate-skinned Kyra mermaid puppet while on their journey....

The Birds in Hats sketch, among their hat box nest and habadashery fighting to see themselves in the mirror.

 The Writing Mouse small puppet and his tiny lens glasses.


The Hermit Crab sketch, eating his lemon crab cake, for the undersea scene

Monty's sketch, the little pink balloon blowfish who has no friends, for the undersea scene.

The Chicken Painter sketch, painting a landscape en plein air in the meadow yard. In a fowl mood today.

The Tailor Spider puppet, who lives in Rana's attic making cobwebs for her to wear on her clothes.

There are also marching ants and bugs dressed for a party, caterpillars, worms, a lizard (by Cirelle) and pretty butterflies (by Constance) as well...
