So after doing some research on materials I decided to go with Newplast plasticine, all 1.5kg of it!
I will be mixing the colours together to make more of a swampy green colour for my creature. I've also got some copper wire for my armature, but I feel it might be too bendy. I might try some aluminium wire instead.
Right now I just need to finish off the character design for the Creature, so I can start modelling.
Speaking of character design, I've been looking into different styles for the other characters in the animation - the people. I've looked at various cartoons from the 50's, and I really like the style of the ones below.
I've also looked at some Hanna-Barbera cartoons, as I loved them when I was a kid. I really like the stylistic feel of the Jetsons and Flinstones. Even though both the cartoons are from the 60s, I feel the style would work just as well for my animation, as they're not far off from the images above.
As well as looking at Hanna Barbera for background inspiration, I also looked at Craig McCracken's work that has a very simial style, such as Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Lab and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends . Here are some images that I liked in particular.
