Its probably one of the last stuff i’ll be uploading from that place. I’ll be doing lots of ilustration works from now on.
For our beloved Dia de los Muertos we had to do our traditional Catrina and Catrin. I constructed the basic structure, stated the style for the Catrin and bones. we only had aroun 10 days for those two to eb completed, plus another skull head, wich ended like the mask because of the color =/.
We started with our standard procedure, wich was lots of cardboard, and a few simple guidelines for th heads.
The body was very simple, we recycled some mannequin as our base structure, then we made the feet and hands of cardboard.
While constructing these we aslo gave some ideas on the Tzompantli they were organizing.
this is the structure for the Catrina’s dress. A big circle that connects to the skirt.
gah you can see the mess we had in our workspace. At the back we have our concept art, and Catrina’s Hat done by my partner.

the room looked like this before the Tzompantli was finished.
the Chinese year of 2009. the project was done in 3 weeks. it danced for over two months. I designed, constructed and painted both parts by my own, as seen on the picture. When it began to dance and kids started to play with it the whole team was called to repair it. In the end the dragon changed alot. 
The head’s made out of some paper mache, wood sticks for the horns, a big big box as a body structure, and acrylic paint on the top. It took almost the three weeks to complete.
