SWOLF

One wolf. Five looks.

SWOLF doesn’t wear one style. The story picks the look: felt and miniatures for the warm ones, full cinema for launches, ink and shadow when something is coming for the bunker. This is the library we pull from.

Prompt recipe

A photograph from a handmade stop-motion puppet animation film shot on miniature sets: puppets with real felted wool and mohair fur, sewn fabric clothes with visible stitching, glass bead eyes, miniature sets built from wood, cardboard, plaster and clay, tiny practical light bulbs, cotton-wool snow, painted backdrop sky, macro lens, shallow depth of field, warm amber practical light against cool blue night. SWOLF is a handmade puppet of an upright grey wolf guardian: felted silver-blue wool fur, white muzzle, dark felt brows, icy-blue glass eyes, a sly half-smile, a sewn charcoal wool jacket with cyan piping and a small round chest patch, corduroy trousers, little leather boots. Symmetrical, flat-on staging.
