Mr Stealy (puppet)
View 6 photographs ↓
Stealy is a puppet I made during university based on the character from the animated series Rick and Morty. Part of the challenge was converting a 2D design into a three-dimensional functioning puppet. This project featured my greatest learning of new disciplines so far, I developed new skills in foam work, pattern making, different varieties of stitching and creating a working hand mechanism. All of this, while adapting Stealy’s eccentric characteristics and movements into puppet form.
