Hare-man re-design....

All my designs for the 'hare-man' character in my 'Hare's Bride' production are not right so I have decided to try a new approach. Instead of a clothed man with a hare's head, I want him to be an 'idea' of a man, which at the same time remains part hare. I have been looking at old anatomical drawings as reference for this, such as these...

Here is a drawing I made of a possible design approach and a quick puppet I made in a session with Mary experimenting with different materials. I want my puppet to look much less like a zombie than, and more a sort of anatomical sketch, and of course, he will have an actual hare's head! But I think its moving in the right direction, at last.
