Harpy

I recently made a large scale paper doll with moveable parts. It is about life-size! Acrylic paint on bristol paper. I wanted to evoke a fairy or folk tale without conveying a particular one. It is attached with eyelets. click to see it bigger!

and I animated my Harpy character in a brief effort at stop motion animation!
