And there we have a perfect example of fan art.

rebar inspired from ratchet and clank no doubt. good job.

This is the only part of the statement I am going to address because we obviously disagree about what this section of the forum is for. I am not mis-defining technique as skill. If one were to look over my statement it is self explanatory. I said that the persons own skill will define how...

If one were to actually read my posts they would realize that I mentioned the people who were asking specific questions and not just "how do I make a puppet" Wrong. There are many instances of people asking specific questions and getting either very limited or NO response at all. So if you ask...

Those are some great puppets. Kudos to your skills. Peace :)

I very much agree with this whole statement except for the amusement value of Family Guy. HEH.

I am not sure people have realized what I have said. I used the Lucasfilm thing as an example. For them to sue one they would have to sue them all or the defense would use the others as examples. This is sort of an "implied precedence". After the thousands and thousands of parodies both...

No, as I already explained the photos are hosted off site and load from this site. It uses up the image hosting sites space and bandwidth and makes no difference to this forums space and bandwidth at all. There is absolutely no reason not to do it but I will refrain from asking, suggesting...

8 ply yarn (we call it 8 ply wool here in AU but its yarn) I sew it, big loop small loop. Its good for making unique fur that you can otherwise nto find in a shop.

Thats because wool is used rather than thread. Use some 8 ply and then comb it out. makes pretty good fur but is very time consuming if you are making a piece that is bigger than a head cap. Try using a multicolored wool, looks awesome when combed out. Thread would take far too long. I dont...

That is correct, However if one were to really read that overview of the act (which is highlighted as NOT legal advice, meaning it cannot stand up in court) one can find a heap of holes in it. Yes Australian copyright law does include provisions for satirical purposes but not all things are...

I am guessing that no response is a fairly good indication of a no then? LOL Oh well, I am going to make a heap of guides anyway. Standing members probably wont find too much new in them but n00bs will find it quite enlightening . . . Peace :)

I am quite the same, having worked with friends on props for fan films myself. What you are saying is quite correct and in some instances I have even seen molds of molds of molds of molds used to make helmets and greaves etc, even prosthetic pieces. My point is more of the legal standpoint...

Actually there have been a number of cases and starwars is not the only series to have a big run of fan films. The main thing is that they have no case. One can make and film whatever they want (within logical reason) as long as they do not profit from it. If there is no profit it is perfectly...

Of Course. However the point of discussion was about people copying puppets. I have made many copies of famous puppets for the reason of being able to film the parody. Just as with the starwars costumes, these copies fall within a huge grey area. The costumes and character likenesses are...

Its all good, I have read a few of your posts and am familiar with the way you come across. Please have the same attitude towards my post as I sometimes come across the same way apparently though I do not mean to. Im just a strait shooter. In what way does it speak of my character? Quite...

Why would it matter if he was ok with it? Its not like the pattern is being given out, its just a beginners guide on puppets and the OP just happens to be using a PP pattern. Same deal if he were using the pattern from any number of sources. Still, it wouldnt hurt to see if he is ok with it...

Much better said than I could have, here here People make prints or paint paintings the same as the artists. People take designs from Victorias secret and similar copies end up in Kmart People make their own miniatures of stuff Pub Bands cover other famous bands songs Tattoo artists replicate...

Hello. . . . There are a fair number of things that can be explained with text and there are also many descent "how to" guides out there on the net if one were inclined to find it. However, if picture embedding was enabled on this forum people like myself and anyone else so inclined could do...
