So, with Ms Goo we're aiming for a slimy character who will leave little pieces/puddles of herself as she slides across the floor. She'll be able to maintain her form with will power, but as she relaxes she begins to spill out a little, sinking towards the floor, like if you dropped a dollop of honey on the counter. But she can pull herself together to her former vague shape by pulling herself up inwardly.
Here's some initial concept sketches for Ms Goo:
This video, sort of conveys the consistency that we are trying to achieve with the character. It's a 'How To' video for slime, so you can skip the 'making of' section to about 4:29 which will show the children playing with the slime.
We've tried taking some reference videos, and though we don't want exactly this, we decided that there was some nice detail in how the material stuck to the kitchen surface as it was pulled along. Some of these little segments would then come to life and follow Ms Goo.
