Development: Final Piece Rough Builds

 Working towards my final piece I had to narrow down my character of which could potentially be within my book. I selected these creatures to develop further in the design process as I felt like these monsters had the strongest designs and were the best choices for practical pop-up:

- The Bogeyman
- The Cuca
- The Razfaszu Bagoly
- Tata Duende
- The H'awauahoua
- The Akaname
- Yara-Ma-Yha-Who


The Bogeyman:

 For the Bogeyman I wanted to create a pop-up that had to be self initiated. Using this method I hoped to of achieved a feeling of fear and recreating many scenes in horror movies. I method was very simple, it was to have two opening doors which would have the face of the bogeyman pop-up from the center. I like this method as it is easy to execute and looked rather effective.

The Cuca:

This method was also very simple which I liked as it would allow me to focus on the drawing. It is a basic crocodile mouth pop up that would be layered on top of my drawing. I felt that it would work well with my subject matter and also utilize a classic pop-up technique.

- The Razfaszu Bagoly

Very similar to The Cuca in execution but the pop up elements are folded as to create one large object that swings outward rather than a piece stretched to achieve a shape. I was again simple but effective. I also planned to use the simple beak pop up which is done by scoring a diamond and cutting down the middle.

- Tata Duende

 One of the more complex pieces mechanically it uses a washer based system (a washer being a circular piece of paper that acts as a lever) This system was used to make his chattering arms jiggle about, his head would also attach to the top to give the effect of his jaw moving crazily.

- The H'awauahoua

 This was a more simple mechanically as it uses a identical structure to that of my page for the  Razfaszu Bagoly but I designed it to be very heavy based on paper-craft and artistic structure I plan on using many different elements to create a meticulous and interesting form.

- The Akaname

 The Akaname uses a somewhat complex structure that I designed as to create the effect of a toilet, this pops up once the page is open there is an interactive element where the user has to open the lid in order to make the monster come out on the toilet. Like the Bogeyman structure I want the user to partake in the action that may lead to them encountering the creature.

- Yara-Ma-Yaha-Who

 The Yara-Ma-Yaha-Who design was to have him swinging from a tree as the page opens and closes, this was directly taken from the Pop-Up jungle book I used as research.  Sadly I felt like my attempt was unsuccessful and the design was scrapped.
