To allow me to develop my character designs I produced some clay models to allow me to fully understand the anatomy of the bodies that I will be animating, below are some images of my gorilla model, I decided to call him Darwin as I thought the name was quite fitting for a primate, I also think the name gives him a personality too and I think this would be intelligent and wise, as well as trying to represent a characters personality, another reason why I chose to create 3D model versions was so that the project became that much realer as the physical object could be interacted with, and now has a presence that I can keep on referring to if need be.
These models were created using air drying clay and supported by a wire coat hanger skeleton. To finish off the model I painted it using acrylic paints, I also used wood glue on the mushrooms to create a slime effect to bring some more realism to the model, this was a last minute experiment that thankfully gave the desired effect.
