About this skill

Mascot / Puppet Horror

Cute brand language corrupted. Felt, foam, plastic eyes. Performance uncanny.

Tenets

  1. Friendly shapes + dead/wrong eyes
  2. Craft materials (felt, plush, plastic)
  3. Stage/set like children’s show gone wrong
  4. Bright palette with one sick shift
  5. Often pairs with PSX or analog crunch

Recipe

Target: a bright children's-show palette with one sick shift: saturated felt body (roughness 1.0, Sheen on), 50 mm camera at puppet eye level, even studio light, grade shifted toward green-cold (warmth -0.4).

  1. pbr_material MAT_Felt: saturated base_color [0.8, 0.1, 0.12], roughness 1.0, specular_ior_level 0.2. Add fuzz by hand with Principled Sheen Weight 1.0, Sheen Roughness 0.5.
  2. Eyes: a second plastic material the same way (base_color white, roughness 0.1, coat_weight 1.0) with tiny dark pupils; keep the eyes slightly off-axis.
  3. light_rig studio_3pt (a cheerful, flat TV-set key).
  4. camera_rig lens_mm 50, elevation_deg 0, fill 0.8, dof_fstop 4.
  5. comp_grade stylized_bloom with warmth -0.4 and vignette 0.45 to push the sick shift; for the analog-tape variant use horror_vhs instead.
