3D Claymation Characters

When deciding on creating a 3D animation made out of clay I decided to make the characters and then add a story line afterwards. During my last time when using plasticine to make the character of morph I was unable to create him and design anything as I wasn't confident enough with using plasticine.

During today when using plasticine i felt more confident than last time and from this i decided to create animals rather than people and decided to create a turtle that could eventually stand up. my first turtle character was very hard to make as at the start i couldn't get the clay to stay warm and keep moving it and adjusting it. 

When testing to see f it could stand up i noticed that the arms and legs weren't equal in length and the body couldn't support itself so i broke them off and made them so they would be stronger and withstand the weight they would be holding.

I used a different colour when designing my second character and as i didn't want to make it similar as people could get mixed up with which character is which. The colour i used was a yellow and it was surprisingly easy to mold into the character and with this character i made all of the parts separately and put holes and a type of screw to fit into the hole and then covered round it with more plasticine.
