Plastercine replacement heads

I enjoyed this task very much, it was a very last minute idea to go for a lion, i researched many things but in the end i liked working with animal ideas. Not for any particular reasons but i like giving animals human characteristics, i think it brings a warm and comfortable feeling to viewers, especially children. They also bring plenty of humour, anyway i enjoyed this task because im usually drawing with pencil or working on photoshop and it was nice to get hands on and experiencing a different type of animation. I neevr thought i would enjoy stop motion so much! i have really had so much fun and learnt a great deal about working with plastercine and lighting and detail! especially detail! It is so important to pay attention to every detail, to give your character as much personality and charachter as possible! being hands on means you need to mould your charachter to perfection yourself. Every nook and cranny, painting, sculpting, smoothing, shaping. everything! 
Im happy with my final outcome but it started to get a little sloppy towards the end. At first my lion didnt have any eyebrows, this took away a lot of the life teh character could have had, he was epressionless even though his mouth was widely egsaturated, it didnt matter because the top half of his head had nothing. After i added eyebrows, its slowly helped build the expression, i think it looks much better but there are still areas for improvent. 
After being satifsfied with the final result, i played aorund with light and tecture to gain some dramatic photo’s.
