What do you call a man with a spade on his head?

Here's further stages of Mr. Spade-head. I came across a problem once i'd finished painting the head. When i tried to place the eyes on him, i hadn't left enough 'ridge' for his eyes to sink into, so he looked like a bog-eyed bastard, so i've had to go through a major reconstruction, its UNCANNY, i drilled into his FACE to form more of a ridge and now as you can see, the eyes sit lovely...i just need to decide how much sculpey to place into the ridges (for sticky-attatchment=easy manoverability and so the eyes dont fall out)...as the doses ive used, well, the sculpey seeps out from behind the eye, it aint cricket...i need to look into that.

Progress....ayo

Mock the Week

Here's a mock up of an aesthetic idea, as my aim now is to make an "old school" looking film, but one which you could have "DOUG" from the ground, hence the sepia/brown coloured blur for the edges...this will be in place instead of the black 8mm film flicker. It will still have the film flicker, but it'll be sorta this brown sepia colour so theres not much contrast between whats going on in the animation, ie, it wont clash with the colour, it'll be less subtle.

A bit of blue for the Dad's

The True Colours are Shinning Through

So, these are just some images (with bad lighting, soz n that) of Dougie, in full colour, obviously he is still naked, he is not shy of showing abit of flesh, bless him, and he hasn't any eye's or mouth, but what he cant see and say, wont hurt him...ayyyyo

Where's your head at?!

So, here we have the head for DOUGIE, has taken me far too long and many mental blocks to get to this, but finally, im really pleased.
It consists of abit of foam, covered in white milliput, and the jaw is just two bits of wire wrapped with mesh, which will be covered with either plastacene or sculpey.
