Centauro

Centauro is a hybrid character between man and horse, very complex to create and manoeuvre. Daniel found inspiration from mythology, combined with the needs of the show. He created two fundamental joints at the waist to allow the torso to bend forward, and rotate left and right. Using the papier-mâché technique, he modelled the mixture of paper and glue on the wooden skeleton, creating the head, torso, body and legs of a horse. Finally, the right pigmentation was chose to highlight the Centaur's musculature.
