Happy #PortfolioDay !!
My name is Jenna and I’m a stop-motion fabricator, sculptural illustrator, and writer (and have recently been getting into block printing!!) and I love anything folktale or fairytale inspired!!
A stop-motion puppet on a set. The puppet is a white-haired girl with brown skin wearing a checked shirt and overalls. She is holding an oar and standing in a canoe-sized boat carved to look like a dragon. She is rowing across a green sea and the sun is beginning to set in the sky. A stop-motion puppet on a set. A white-haired girl is crouching, looking down into an old, stone well. She has brown skin and is wearing a checkered shirt and overalls. The well sits surrounded by trees with orange leaves, and many leaves have fallen to the dirt ground. The sun sets in the background. Two stop-motion puppets and their walking cabin photographed outdoors. The first puppet is a little witch wearing red and yellow with brown skin, and she is looking back at the other puppet. The second puppet is a little witch wearing red and blue, and she is holding a leaf as an umbrella as she looks forward at the first puppet. They are followed by their black witch’s hut on chicken legs. They are surrounded by a snowy forest. White, yellow, and green pieces of fabric block-printed in black with the image of fairies, some holding strawberries and some holding acorns. Some of the acorns and strawberries have had felt and embroidery added so that they are colorful.

A stop-motion puppet on a set. The puppet is standing up in a canoe-type boat carved like a red dragon, and she’s holding an oar. She is turned to look over her shoulder at the camera. She has brown skin, white short hair, brown overalls and a checkered shirt. She is traveling across turquoise waters, with a yellow sunset beginning on a blue sky spotted with clouds. Stop-motion puppets of Wirt and Greg from Over the Garden Wall, walking towards the camera, looking at each other. The puppets were photographed outside. They are walking through brown fallen leaves and twigs, with an autumn yellow sun-lit canopy behind them. Stop motion puppets photographed on a set. The first is lit by a patient hey are holding, and they are marching to the right. They have a big yellow wool coat, a yellow pointy hat, short magenta hair, and an overstuffed backpack. They are surrounded by dark pine woods. Behind them, silhouetted, is a giant shadow, with just two pinpricks of light for eyes. They are wearing a little orange backpack. The sky is lit by a low moonlight. A stop-motion puppet photographed outside. The puppet is a green frog, crouching, with green fairy wings. The frog fairy is sitting on a shelf mushroom, which is very big compared to him. He is looking into the distance smugly. Behind him is an out-of-focus forest.

Day 6 - Gnome! 🍄‍🟫
For #brettsfaebruaryartchallenge over on insta #art
A stop motion gnome puppet photographed outside. The puppet has a cone-shaped coat on, and only a circle of its face and its legs are visible. The coat is beige. The gnome has a light blue face, a green nose and cheeks, light blue hair peeking out, and shiny eyes. It’s wearing patterned pants and little green boots. It appears to be stepping out of some tree roots. The ground is wet dirt and grass, and the huge tree roots behind it are dark and mossy. The puppet is looking at the camera.

QRP with something watery 🌊
A photo of stop motion puppets on a set. The sky is a deep yellow and the ocean is an emerald green. Huge mountains of water loop out of the sea, ending in a bleached-white dragon skull, as if the water had become the body of the now-dead dragon. Right in the center, lifted up from the surface of the water by one hill of the dragon’s water-body, is a rowboat with a girl in it. The rowboat is red and worn and carved to look like a dragon. The girl is standing wide-stanced in the center, lifting a white and gold dragon egg over her head. She has short white hair, brown skin, and is wearing brown overalls with a moon decal on them. She is staring up at the dragon.

Day 2 - Fly Agaric Elf 🍄
(for #brettsfaebruaryartchallenge over in insta)
A stop-motion puppet standing outside amongst brown pine needles, pinecones and grass. The puppet is a little elf inspired by a fly agaric mushroom. She has white skin, bright red cheeks, nose and pupils, and white freckles. She has short white hair and a large red mushroom cap on her head. She is wearing an off-white flouncy skirt and a white shirt that kinda looks like a skirt. She has her hands behind her back and is looking at the camera.

Day 1 - Holly King
(Whoops! Forgot to post these here yesterday - for #brettsfaebruaryartchallenge over on insta)
A stop-motion puppet photographed outside amongst a holly bush with dark green spiky leaves and red berries. The puppet has a green face, though the skin under his cheekbones becomes a brown wood-grain. He has long black hair and horns. He is wearing a shirt made of holly leaves and a blue-green scarf. He is looking directly at the camera, sort of over his shoulder. A stop-motion puppet photographed outside amongst a holly bush with dark green spiky leaves surrounding him.

If you see this, post a witch!! (Or two!)
Two stop-motion puppets stand on a snowy overturned log in the forest. The first is a witch with brown skin and black short hair, wearing a brown skirt, red sweater, red boots, yellow patterned scarf, yellow apron and yellow witch’s hat. She is looking out into the distance with her hands resting on her stomach. The other puppet is also a witch, but she has white skin, long light blue hair in braids, wearing a long blue coat, blue boots, a red scarf and a blue witch’s hat. She is looking out into the distance as well, but has one hand up to shade her eyes, and she is leaning into the other witch a little.

Art -> inspiration
(Prop made for my thesis film, still in progress 💀) #stopmotion #animation
A close up crop of a medieval-inspired miniature manuscript painting desk, specifically the side of it where three paint bottles sit on a shelf. You can see just the corner of an illuminated manuscript in progress. A prop for a stop-motion film on a brown background. The prop is a medieval-inspired manuscript writing desk. The top is a triangle so the artist can write/paint upright, and there is a little shelf over to the side with paint bottles on it. There is also a little stool that matches. There is a half-finished illuminated manuscript on the desk. An illustration of the scribe Jean Mielot dated between 1450 and 1460. He is wearing robes and sitting at a writing desk that is shaped like a regular desk but with a triangle shape on top of it for the manuscript to lay upright but at an angle. It also has a little shelf off to the side with ink bottles. He sits in a messy writer’s space, with books on the ground and open on other desks and in open drawers.

QRT with your sketch and final
A *very* rough pencil sketch of a character in a dress, standing on a rowboat, hands on an oar half in the water. There are huge rib bones poking up out of the water and curving over her, though you can barely tell they are rib bones as the drawing is very simple. A crop of a comic page made of a photograph of a stop-motion puppet on a set. A girl stands in the middle of a red, dragon-shaped rowboat, one hand holding an oar half out of the water. She has brown skin, white short hair, and is wearing brown overalls. Massive, curving bones reach up out of the water and over the girl’s head. The bones are damaged and broken. She looks up at them above her head. The water is teal and emerald green, and the sky is a gradient from dark gold to bright yellow.

Can’t go wrong with frogs 🐸

if you see this, post a knight!
A still image from a stop-motion film of two puppets walking through a moonlit forest of tall pine trees. One is a little girl with strawberry-orange hair carrying a sword over her shoulder. She is looking up at the other figure, a tall ghost knight lady with blue skin and a long white braid over her shoulder. The knight is carrying a wooden bucket and looking down at the girl.

A puppet - made for the comic "Monabelle and the Dragon" but used since then for other projects! I'm particularly proud of those little blue boots! #stopmotion

Hi all! Thought I'd introduce myself! My name is Jenna and I'm a stop-motion fabricator and filmmaker based in the PNW. Sometimes I use puppets for comics and illustrations, sometimes I write novels, and sometimes I let myself be consumed by the forest, never to return!
A photograph of puppets on a set. A person in a yellow coat, pointy hat, and holding a lantern walks through trees in the foreground. A strange, tall, void-like creature is backlit, walking through the trees in the background. They are both wearing backpacks. A photo of puppets on a set, used as a comic cover. In the bottom third of the image a white-haired girl in brown overalls looks majestically into the distance. She is surrounded by the body of a red dragon, who's so large its body looks like ocean waves around the girl. There are mountains shrouded in clouds in the distance, and a big blue sky. In the top two-thirds of the image is the title, which reads "Monabelle and the Dragon; A comic by Jenna Clear." A photo of puppets on a set. In the foreground is a stone well with a red roof, and a green frog inside it, peaking over the edge. In the background are the silhouettes of trees and forest underbrush. A photo of a puppet on a set. A close up of a woman peaking over her shoulder, nose in a book. She has blue hair and is wearing an embroidered robe. We can see the red, green and gold of the top of the large armchair she is sitting in. In the background are shelves of books and a large stone fireplace with carved shooting stars, with a roaring fire.
