Alien engineer Stop-Motion puppet

My finalized stop-motion puppet. Made using monster clay which I then cast into silicone over a wire armature. The head is cast out of jesmonite which I then painted. Torso was sculpted out of mattress foam.
Please excuse the mess of my work space, I was still a student.
There's more of the character design work for this project on my account if you want that.
