FF3 Remora & CS3 Blood Skeleton Whipper

This is a Remora, a randomly encountered coral monster from the 1990 Squaresoft Final Fantasy III Nintendo Famicom video game (said game was also recently remade, in 3D, for the Nintendo DS).

Materials:
Newsprint, Kleenex, white glue, acrylic paint, and sand.

Dimensions:
6.9 cm/2.7 in. x 9.0 cm/3.5 in. (highest point x widest point)

Time:
Approximately two days; I started this project on 5/30/08 and finished it the next day, 5/31/08.










For comparison purposes, below is the Remora game sprite from the Nintendo Famicom version of Final Fantasy III.








This is a Blood Skeleton Whipper, an invincible undead monster from the 1990 Konami Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse NES video game.

Materials:
Newsprint, Kleenex, white/hot glue, wire twist ties, gloss nail polish, and acrylic paint.

Dimensions*:
(*The dimensions given for this figure are approximations, as the height/width can vary considerably, depending on how the joints are positioned.)
6.5 cm/2.6 in. x 2.3 cm/0.9 in. (highest point x widest point)

Articulation:
Thirty points total: Neck (4), shoulders (4), elbows (4), wrists (2), mid-torso (6), hips (4), knees (4), and ankles (2). Additionally, the whip accessory has 22 joints.

Time:
Approximately four days; I started this project on 5/11/08 and finished it on 5/14/08.








For comparison purposes, below is a Blood Skeleton Whipper game sprite, as well as the instruction manual artwork (the color was added by me, the original is black and white), from the Nintendo version of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
