Sea Otter Puppet Part 4

Below is the Sea Otter with his eyes and ears attached, all is needed now is the nose to be dyed and the head is finished, next is moving onto the body.

Below is a side view of the eyes and ears, sea otters have cute little downward facing ears.

Sea Otter Puppet Part 3

Foam skull has been constructed from sheet foam, Otter whiskers have been added.

Above shot of the foam skull, I find it useful at this point to draw on the skull the placement of the eyes and any other details so I can see if the design works in 3D.

The fur has been attached to the skull and trimmed around the face. also the top of his snout area has been covered with a dark brown Antron fleece.

Once the eyes have been sprayed white I place them on the head just to see if its all working out how I see it in my head - so far so good, next it the eye details and attaching eyes to head, and ears - then the head is complete.

Above is the pattern for the antron fleece covering for the snout area, also showing the antron sewn together and ready to be placed over the carved foam.

Above is the front view of the snout once the antron has been placed over the foam snout

New Ebay Monster puppet RALPH

below is a link to my latest Ebay pupper RALPH, check him out - he was a labor of love, spending countless hours attaching his ostrich feather plumes to his head to give the effect of the "hair" growing out from his head.

7 band members for client

I have recently completed a job for a client which included building 7 puppets to resemble band members which will be used to shoot a music video clip, below are some random shots of the puppets being built, sorry some of the photos are alittle blurry but you get the idea. Have a great day.

Green Monster Update

Oh dear, this didn't work out the way I had hoped - I kind of got carried away and forgot to take pictures of this puppet, and now he is finished! So from the last update I covered his foam sculpted nose with Antron, attached four different colours of Ostrich plumes for his hair and added his hands and feet, both which are posable. He also has removable arm rods. I will try and take better pictures soon - this was just a quick reference shot of him on my puppet stand. Have a great day all

P.S. he wont always be wearing a T-shirt I was just trying it on him

Green Monster Update

Here is the green monster puppet updated - I have covered his head in fur and attached to the body, I have also carved his nose and pinned it to the head to check the size and shape. Next the nose will be covered in Antron fleece and I will make him a set of eyes. I have also made his tongue which has been made from a pink ultra suede and outlined with a dark red pen.

Pictures of current green monster

Below are some quick snap shots I have taken of the early stages of a puppet I have had designed. He is quite a small puppet in size which is what I like, once on the hand I find smaller puppets to be easier to operate. above is a photo of his foam skull, the two templates in the same picture are for his mouthplate which will be cut from timber in the next few days.

Above are a few pattern pieces for the puppet, once deciding the length and width of the puppets arms and legs I make rough cardboard patterns like these.

Above is the arms and legs cut and pinned ready to be sewn, I usually machine sew the arms and legs.

Above are the arms and legs turned right side out after being sewn together.

Above is the body which has a foam body inside.

I will try and update as much as possible, this puppet is more of a spare time puppet to make inbetween real jobs so it may take some time to complete. have a great day all
