Zombie Puppet Design

A quick puppet character sketch for the final project for my Constructing Performing Objects (i.e. Wood Carving) class.  More than likely it will be a marionette...of the zombie variety.

Things I'm Considering in the Design ("Play With..."):

-anatomy vs

-stiffness vs

-hyperextension vs

-wonktacular gravity (that's official, medical terminology)

-spilling bones & organs

-blood & decay

-ripped (fabricated) clothing

-controlled by standard "x" control or another way?

Big questions.  Too soon to say.  It only exists in ink so far, a lot can change.

Did I mention that Zombie are this semester's unwritten theme?  It's a strange thing.  A+ for consistency.
