Hope your characters are plenty furry, otherwise it'll look weird. I'd say increase and decrease from the back and use elastic. Limb extention would be easy, but the head would be tricky.

Niiice. I need to start making more friends. ..nah, screw it.

This one is certainly better than the hash cookie monster video. Not as good and clever as it coulda been, but that's regarding the writting. The puppets are of course beautifully designed and well performed, but that goes without saying.

Oh Snap!

IN B4 locked thread.

Hmm, been a few months since the last replica debate of course there had to be a new one. I still don't see what everyone is getting their panties in a knot over. I can make a 1932 ford from new production parts. From businesses that are there specifically to make reproduction chassies and...

I used the plastic cover from my old spiral bound sketchbooks. It's a nice rigid ultra thin plastic that's like Ice Cream lid stuff.. which is also just as good. And you have an excuse to eat icecream. But yeah, it helps I got years and years worth of old sketch books to cannibalize. I just...

I'd like to see multiple examples for each feature. There's so many ways to do any particular feature it'd be nice to see a range of examples but I know how secretive and coy puppet makers can be about showing their methods.

Are you trolling?

You guys mean the one I posted, not the one freddyfrills posted. Cause it sure looks like a dissassembled master replicas kermit to me in the fulll photo.

How about a piece of foam the general shape of corn [cylinder but slightly thicker in the middle] with those packing peanuts cut to size and stuck on? I'm thinking those ones that look like cheese doodles, cut down and glued in place. You can squeeze them as you tightly pack them on so it...

That one seems to be the simplest blink mech for people who aren't sure how to tackle it. Sounds like you need to secure the eyes to the puppet better. This is what I made,although it is not easier, I'm happy to get it out there to even just help people get ideas and insipiration. P.S...

I found this article on Carrol Spinney and it has some great behind the scenes info I found pretty interesting. This stuff is probly covered in his book, but I haven't read it yet. Found here, I thought I'd just paste the whole article here just in case the article dissapears someday. He's...

I'm sure I've seen a photo here, of how to make one with felt and cotton. It was a round coloured piece of felt with thread sewn around the edge spaced close together with cotton filling it, so when you pull the thread it closes up like a draw string bag making the round muppet style nose.

Yes it can work without swearing, sure, for the mainstream that's probly necessary, but I dunno, to me, it looks to be a bit of an elitist attitude like "Well, I don't swear, therfor it's cheap and unnecessary in adult puppetry". In the context of humour though, that's a different road...

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Flat Eric and Levis. They were a great series of little ads. Stylish and, all together, told a story.

My $0.02 on adult puppetry. I really dug what Greg the Bunny did when it was taken over to whatever network it was it was on over there. It was clearly aimed at adults, but it wasn't gratuitious. It always just implied sex and drugs, but they didn't even swear. I mean, in the opening credits...

I think every day will hurt it. Once or twice a week is enough to keep them coming back without letting them lose interest. yeah actually twice a week would be good. Like mondays and thursdays or something.

Artists will draw major comic characters, and sell them at cons or as comissions. People make and sell costumes, replica props from films or whatever, and nobody there cares either. Neither the companies nor fans. Muppet fans, to me, seem to be the only fanbase that get offended and outraged on...

Your stuff is great. Your puppeteering is good and we all know your puppets are top notch. The sketch itself I didn't much care for. Been done, it's not very funny and I'm never a fan of self realising puppets. It would have been funnier if the whole hash cookies thing were implied.. like we...
