The second puppet I endeavored to recreate was a handcrafted stop-motion marionette, necessitating a meticulous and technical approach to its construction. The objective was to emulate the replacement animation style seen in the film 'Isle of Dogs' (2018) directed by Wes Anderson, in collaboration with puppet making expertise from Arch Model Studio.

The puppet was crafted using monster clay for the head cast, made larger at the start and then scaled down to the appropriate size for the Puppet, a hard skin tone resin for the face, and a silicon cover for the head and hands. The armature was constructed with aluminum wire and hardened wood for the hips and chest, with foam used to shape the muscles. Multiple layers of latex were applied to create the appearance of skin using a hard mold, dyed to match the desired skin tone and enhanced with chalk for blemishes.

 The face was meticulously hand-painted, with every freckle, blemish, and facial detail replicated from the original design. Individual hair strands were punctured into the head using a needle to create a realistic hair cap illusion. Paper patterns were utilized to design clothing, including a simple shirt and trouser outfit, while more intricate leather shoes were crafted from recycled sofa leather,   with the final Puppet being secured using stitchwork and a matt  acrylic varnish to protect the Puppet face and painted elements.
