Pupil Cuts

:wisdom: Oh sweeeet! MuppetCaper recommended this black flocked adhesive paper from scientificsonline.com. Along with a varied size circle stencil set I picked up at a local art supply store and pair of sharp scissors I replaced Gonzo's pupils! It makes such a world of difference! :concern:

The wonderful thing is that this material adhesive, while very sticky, has a sort of "give" to it so that it may be peeled up and re-placed as needed without much fuss or tearing. And having such a large sheet of the material means pupils for life! I liked Gonzo so much I did Animal and darn, he's fantastic. :halo:

I'm still adjusting the placement for the right Zen, but I am now so pleased with the pupils that it will never be a factor with my replicas again! I'm still tweaking the placement from muliple angles, poses and lighting variations.

Here is my first attempt.

Now they look good straight on - like they're looking at the camera (as Muppets tend to do).

A simple change like that helps a lot. Looks way better. Please take more now that the eyes are right.

I was going to ask you something, Jamie, but I can't remember what it was. :confused:

Not the question I was going to ask, but what size clothing would fit him? I found a sweater vest, button down shirt, and pants in a toddler set at Target.
