I guess it depends on which Kermit you look at, but from the pics I've seen, it's an almost completely flush join. As for the body pattern, I looked at a few other people's patterns and resulting puppets and made my own from what I'd learned also made my own collar pattern. In fact, I don't...

Does sound like a fun project. Only a matter of figuring out what to film with the characters we have, and how to film it. Perhaps if we all filmed against a kinda greenscreen ( .....or bluescreen if you're finding it uneasy being green ;) ) and compile the characters that way. I've got a little...

I had a similar idea at one point, but don't have the confidence yet to go ahead and build her. I'm really impressed with what you got so far though dude. Can't wait to see more progress. :D

awesome stuff! :D

After a long time leaving Kermit on the backburner (so to speak), I've come back to him, aiming to finish in time to take him to Dragoncon :D The seams on the head are blended almost invisible, a foam-padded torso with sleeve and felt collar attached, and half the seams on that are blended now...

both look fantastic dude.... you're too dang good :p

I absolutely love it! Have voted on your poll and would love to see a build diary for this puppet. Looks amazing!

For my money, I'd say the pitch you reached at the start of "attempt 4" is the closest to Kermit's ambient voice, of the ones you've done so far. Maybe try looking at more reference footage, play back a small section and note exactly how Jim pronounces certain words, and how muted he sounds...

7000 hairs? Are you serious?! That's crazy! But **** impressive :)

Oh yeah, that tutorial! Thanks for the link Melon, very helpful. :)

I'm handstitching, and you're right, I probably should've used a ladder stitch. Luckily a friend showed me that by using a needle to free some of the trapped fibres, I can hide the seam pretty well. I'll post pics of the newly hidden seam when I get around to doing the eyes. The tongue and...

That's certainly a good idea, although the pattern I used is slightly curved along the bridge of the nose. I've still got my first attempt here at my disposal, so I may try a few different techniques. One I'm kinda interested in trying is shaving some spare fleece, and gluing the resulting fluff...

Hey all, I'm a long-time lurker, and have found all of this creativity REALLY fascinating. I'm a costumer regularly, and an animation graduate, and have always loved the Muppets. I've been working on this fella for the past day or so. Gone through a couple attempts making the head so far, but I...

Fozzie looks fantastic, dude, as does Kermit. I'm being a dork and working on a Kermit too, with a friend making Fozzie. Should be a fun project. You've set a nice HIGH bar to reach :P
