Character designs - Puppets

Logo The Eccentric Collective. Lime green and black. Puppet characters.

My character design process begins with sculpting 3D plaster of Paris to craft tactile, expressive puppet statues. Each figure emerges as a physical manifestation of personality, and form, bringing depth and emotion to the archetypal world of The EccentricQ Collective. Once sculpted, these statues serve as the foundation for my 2D illustrations, where I translate their energy into bold, intricate line work and vibrant storytelling. The process bridges the physical and the imaginative, creating unique characters that embody the essence of each archetype in this 12-part artistic exploration.
