So lately I've had a hankering to make something , and having always wanted to make a big costume puppet, I've started designing it up. I know you're probly thinking "That's what they all say.." I've seen the Fur suit tutorials and it seems pretty straight forward there, and I just wanna put...

Yep. He's the little guy in my Avatar.

This might help. I made this blinking mechanism that could just as easily be applied as a brow. here's a pic.

Meh..it was alright. Didn't think it particulary funny. But it was worth sitting through it just to see the donkey kong versus mario bit.

You can see the seams on the head.

Umm, he would have just grabbed another one. Oh FFS....*rolleyes*

Wow, that actually disgusted me a bit. You can actually bring yourselves to kill an animal like that, I don't care if it is a rat. Have you ever had to pick up a mouse or rat trap with the poor creature, neck crushed? I'm sorry about your puppet, but there are Humane Ways to catch them and...

Has anyone ever tried to incorperate the seams into the design? What I mean is, Having the seams where wrinkles in the face would be, or the frown lines on the face etc.

Personally, I'd go with White Fur. But I would do the wings feathers. Because the face of any bird doesn't look very Feathery, I'd go with Fur, brushed back. Ang go nuts with the feathers on the wings. Not only for acuracy, but if you flap the wings in a performance and some fall off, it...

Well, I'm gonna be honest, I haven't done one cause I think the audio clips are kinda dull for puppets. I'd do one if the audio allowed for the puppet to bring a little more character to it, as apossed to just how well you can lip-synch to audio. I guess I'm thinking about something like the...

I'd cut a hole in the fur smaller than the diameter of the eye, and glue the eye onto the foam head. And furthermore, if you want them to not stick out so much, you could slice a bit off the ball/eye so it's sitting flat against the head, so you have more surface area to glue as a ball would...

Can I watch the first one with the sound down? [EDIT; Oh ok, the song is being covered, that's alright then. Thought it was just a different clip..lack of sleep, not reasoning right. And, on dial up,even just downloading a song takes consideration, for time and PC slowage] I've seen Beth...

No idea what is so crazy about my name, but to answer your question; Yes.

waitaminute... furryredmonster..are you ..Kevin Clash?

Sure I agree Buck, to a certain extent, but you can't do anything without any of the skills to do it in the first place. I've read some comics where the art is really bad, and although the story is trying to get out, it's just not working for me cause it's being let down by the bad art...

I always wondered how that beak moves so easily. I mean, it's pretty long, so I assume it's really light weight. It must be counter balanced on the other side right? Behind the hand.

Having worked with fibre glass, I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone, unless you really did your research or were with someone who knew what they were doing. I hated the stuff. The catalyst for the resin is pretty hazardous and you have to take into account the weather for your rezin...

Well, I didn't actually mean for the focus of my post to be about what I said about the forum, I did genuinly just wanna throw an idea out there about making an easy hard shell for a face, But "Que sere, sera".. The problem with forums as big as this one is, Info tends to get lost in amongst...

No, it wasn't directed at you or any One person. Just think you have to word things like that carefully, or it could sound like a brush off. "..yeah kid, we've been through this before, go do some research before you bother us here." is what you want to avoid sounding like. Maybe a sticky...

I generally don't come here much anymore cause it's made me a little jaded and synical. When a newbie shows up with that same question you guys are probly sick of hearing, he or she is pointed to the search function. And instead of giving out , what some think to be some big secret, a vague...
