somebody could literally make the funniest joke in the universe, expertly crafted and hand made like a fine artisan cheese, but it’ll never make me laugh as much as that one fucking comic where goofy steals a hat from himself in a different panel and defies all logic and starts crying
Kubo’s puppet had a total of 23,187 rapid prototype faces created. In combination, Kubo had over 48 million possible facial expressions!
The Sisters’ costuming was inspired by Tome Gozen, a female samaurai warrier. The cape included 861 laser-etched feathers, each uniquely sized and shaped.
The kimono worn by Kubo’s mother was inspired by the women courtiers of the Heian era. Over 2,000 laser-cut pieces of weighted lining are in the kimono, giving it proper the proper weight and folds.
The full-scale Giant Skeleton is the largest stop-motion puppet ever built. 70 unique swords were made for the skull and over 1,000 bones were created for the torso’s armor.
The Garden of Eyes sequence was created using a single 11 feet tall puppet shot from multiple angles. The animators created a remote interface for the puppet that included a track ball made from a computer mouse and bowling ball.
The Moon Beast is LAIKA’s first fully 3D-printed puppet. It was built at a one-fifth scale and composited into shots with the full-scale Kubo. If built to scale, The Moon Beast would have been over 17 feet long!
Three versions of the origami sailboat were created, along with six versions of the sail. The surface of the boats were covered in nearly 250,000 laser-cut leaves which took almost 100 hours to apply. The boat sequence took 19 months to shoot!
Saw this cool headline and I immediately thought of a giant pearl. I’d imagine this kind of pearl is one that is forgotten about during it’s formation, and is left to grow for thousands of years into a huge gem that acquires many defects and abnormalities over such a long period of growth. Giant pearls are very powerful, and are fickle and capricious in nature. They rarely speak, and do not appear to possess a specific weapon, however they have very strong psychic and telekinetic abilities. Giant pearls are dangerous in the wrong hands, as they will blindly follow and dedicate themselves to the first figure of authority they encounter, and act without capacity for reason or mercy.
Snooped around and found some other cool giant pearls. The one on the left is the previous world record holder, the Pearl of Lao Tzu, and the one on the right is called the Arco Valley Pearl
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
