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

Other Cheek/ facial repair ideas
Pipey
Pipey needed a lot of replacement legs.As with Trappy, there was only 1 Pipey puppet so they asked me to make a stand in Pipey made out of the first draft Pipey puppet which was currently, unusable.

-centered pipe

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
Puppet in library Gif or screenshot
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.
