Hey, welcome to the forum. Not a builder but like the eyebrows on Gene and the hair on Brian. Though I have to say, Gene looks super familiar; did you base his design off something in particular or just coincidence? It's driving me nuts trying to figure it out XD

As for feedback I suggest you check out this article talking about the Magic Triangle... a trick to make your puppet's eyes look like they are actually focusing on something or someone; I think it would help your puppets be a bit more alive-looking! http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Muppet_Eyes Keep at it!

Yes, I have to admit, the eyes are the most difficult part of the process! I usually need my wife's help to place the pupils & I always do them last.

As for Gene he was inspired by Gene the Behemoth from TMS who had a brief cameo in the new Muppet movie http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Behemoth
