Falkor & Atreyu Cartoon Sculpture - The NeverEnding Story

Hey guys!
In 2017 I did a concept cartoon of these characters just for fun, I ended up enjoying the result and became an idea for a sculpture! The people really liked the result and I ended up doing a workshop.

On youtube (Rick Fernandes Studio) there is a video showing a little of the production process of the Falkor and Atreyu model of the film The NeverEnding Story as, structure, filling with aluminum foil, blocking, cleaning of shapes and finishing.
