WILD Zoo

Puppets created for summer show

In 2024 I created 2 puppets for WILD Zoological Park. This project was great fun and had a very quick turn around time so both puppets were designed and created in under a week.

During this project, I was experimenting with 3D modelling in puppetry. It saved time, which for this project was extremely useful.

The style requested was hessian rustic looking, taking inspiration from The Lion King.
