My first elven models for Elderwood Forest, were my attempt at making dolls,

not very good at doll standards, but I had fun.

So I thought I'd share, because it was where my movie really started.

the sculpy fairies have evolved from babies to grown ups fairies.

Wow. Those dolls are very cool.

They were obviously created with great care and attention to detail.

I really like the difference in scale you've arrived at with the hands.

(Seeing them in the dolls I almost prefer them over the scale of the CG hands)

 

Keep those in a safe place.

They'll be valuable collectors items some day! :)

 

 

Edit: Now you've got me wanting to see the JWS puppet show!

Cool! It is nifty to see the doll versions versus the CG...you obviously know your characters well!

 

 

Yeah I started the elves about 28 years ago. ;)

having never done anything quite like that before I messed up so much.

finally I had molds made, I wanted a medium that would not break. so I used a latex rubber.

 

so your right I've known the gang for a while.

thank You froseternal

Really?

 

I must say, I think you might have accidently stumbled upons something really unique there.

At first I thought your plan was to use these dolls as puppets where the performers were behind a screem using their real hands as the characters hands. I thought... pretty cool way to get the puppets to hold things!

 

At any rate I think the large hands make the dolls considerably unique.

I'd think their fans would too.

 

Claim it as your special style or someone like me will steal the idea. ;)

 

I love mistakes.

Especially when help us create such wonderful things.

Others are free to disagree and prefer a more realistic style but I'll keep calling them as I see them. :)

 

Now you've got me in the mood to see a good puppet show.

I haven't seen one since I was... ahem... considerably younger.

 

There were two puppet shows that really impressed me; Aladdin and Pinnochio. (unrelated to Disney)

I was young enough that the details of the two blend together a bit.

I do distinctly remember the cave scene from Aladdin. Impressive set with glittering diamonds everywhere.

After experiencing those wonderful stories brought to animated life with only wood, cloth and string who wouldn't want to be a puppeteer!
