Yes 'Piccadilly place' is the name of the place the exhibition was held, i know silly name but what can you do.They's a hotel across from there called 'the place', so i guess it isn't that bad...

Anyway here are some pictures of myself (left) and Donna presenting our work :) I had a Fantastic time being interviewed and meeting people and checking out their work too.

Charlie

Referring to Stibohart's illustrations of Charlie, i made it a 3D reality. Charlie is Innocence's brother, a cheeky and unpredictable little boy.He loves to run around wearing Alfred's helmet which is too big for his head and an oversized trench coat.

Let's start with the helmet.The helmet is made from black sculpy that i bake the same as super sculpy clay.

The details are some copper wire and a copper point on the helmet which was safe to put i the oven as the clay set.

I also made an eagle which is also black sculpy, quite fiddly for such a small thing but it brings the helmet together nicely.To get the metallic look on the clay i simply used some make-up which set into the helmet, so it won't rub off.But this was a great way to create an illusion of a metal type helmet.The buttons are done in the same way, using a Philips screw driver to make the stars in the button.To finish it off, a dark brown trench coat and a dog tag which use to be Alfred's back in the day.

She's Alive!

It would be my pleasure to introduce you to Beatrice and a half finished Angus! As you can see her image is very near to my design, keeping her frail looking but also giving her that sweet loving grandma stereotype.

In the images you can see she has replaceable mouths near her feet, each giving different expressions.Im currently trying to get her posture right, creating a slight hunch gives her more character.Her feet are temporarily in plasticine till i make them solid.Her lovely outfit was made from Ashleigh who kept to my design for her look.

Sweet old lady

The final Beatrice model head.Her mouth can detach and be replaced with other expressions ive made, but your not seeing those till the film!
I originally made the top lip separate but it was too fragile and broke not long after it was used in practice.This however is much stronger and easier to move and replace the expression with it just being the bottom lip and jaw that can be removed.Her eyebrows can be rotated around to help the expression be more strong when it's at the right angle.
