Finally pictures of Kahinakuya herself! As seen in my short stopmo film : [link] :love: Cause you can't see most of these details in the film... XD;;

Kahinakuya is 14" tall including antenna. She is a "plushie puppet", basically a plushie who has been constructed on top of a stopmotion wire armature (her skeleton is all twisted aluminum wire). She is NOT floppy at all, she is very rigid. Everything is wired stiffly from her fingers to her coat tails. Despite this she is pretty 'cuddly' tho cause she is made form soft microsuede, fleece, and ultrasuede.

I did the airbrushing details of her coat back, head, and the colors of her jacket are also airbrushed.

(And if you didn't catch it she is meant to allude to the look of a praying mantis ;)

LOL in real life even for a totally stiff stop motion puppet she IS strangely pretty cuddly. :D
