Main Characters

The main characters of Psycho Psalms were not designed by me. I do not claim to have designed them, only assisted in building a physical representation of them to bring to life through animation.

Lil Tut Tut

Tut Tut was one of Psycho Psalms characters I assisted with the most. He required lots of repairs and adjustments. I also designed and made all his eyelids and the straight-forward head.

Hand cut/ painted mouths

Super long arms/ legs with colour-matched clay for rubber-hose effect

Trappy

Trappy was their own beast as originally they had been designed to have their cheeks move with their mouths which damaged the puppets face. A lot of repairs had to be made and all new mouths to fit the now sedentary cheeks

Homeless Puppets

i.e. Crew Plastic People

Javan puppet from CBD short

Animated by Brock Barber

I was told to make crew member Javan into a puppet for use on the show

I was given some specific things to include such as a shirt with a bee wearing a crown on it. his hair had to be green too.

I sculpted the hair and repainted the body.

Making the Crew Homeless

Now there were 2 homeless characters for the Tut Tut short. One was Javan and the other was meant to be based after a friend of the Studio

Like with Javan, I was told to design a specific shirt that said "Idle wild life" in a font I made and sculpt hair. I was also told to dirty up both crew characters to make them look homeless.
