Jim Henson Idea Man

Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
I only watched it once through, but my initial thought is that his first finger and maybe thumb is cable controlled through the arm rod which has been conveniently removed in post production. They probably planned on editing the rod/s out from the beginning either for aesthetic reasons, or based...
Oh yes, I should clarify. In my previous post I'm referring to the fleece covering patterns that are available for the first two Forma Series patterns - the Rotondo and the Punto.
The Simple Series patterns, though a stretch fabric is recommended, fur will definitely work with no problems...
Hey shtick! I wouldn't recommend it. At least not without some adjustments.
The fleece patterns were designed to take advantage of the fleece's ability to stretch. Most fur doesn't have a stretch to it. They do make a furry fleece these days that does have some stretch to it and I believe some...
Oh, and a couple of more things you may need to know shtick...
If you plan on dying the fur, you can get white 3 inch shag fur here - http://www.mendels.com/fur_solids.html. You can always trim the fur shorter, but you can't trim it longer. ;)
Any faux fur you get your hands on will more than...
Excellent observation, Phantom!
On the subject of "visual abstraction", however...
Though it's a nice idea, I can't fully agree with it. I've never read 'Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. I'm sure the idea is more developed in the book. But simplification of a character is not the...
Hey Foz! Great thread. First of all, don't let that guy's comments get to you too much. He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.
Second, I think it's the responsibility of every creator of characters (3-D or 2-D) to convince their audience that their characters are real. And, in...
Hey, thanks guys!
RubbeRoomStudio, the eyes were the easiest things in the world! Just get some of these little guys - http://www.puppetminister.com/puppets/supplies.html - spray paint them black and add lids. That's it!
Glad you're finding it useful, grammie! The last step of the tutorial is up!
Remember, this tutorial is very basic, but it should give you a good start in creating different styles of clothing for your characters. You could add collars, turtle necks, buttons down the front, dress cuffs with...
Well, for those of you who like naked puppets, I would suggest NOT going to the Project Puppet blog for the tutorial. ;) All others may be interested in knowing that the pattern is posted.
Just wanted to let everyone know that we're doing a tutorial on how to give your Simple Series puppets a very basic long-sleeve (short-sleeve adaptable) shirt. We'll be posting the free sleeve pattern tomorrow and finishing up the tutorial in the next few days.
