Here is 2 pictures from my first attempt at a "Zombie" puppet. I started on this before I found this forum. I used a hard syrofoam ball and carved into it with a hobby foam cutter.

I hope you guys are not too hard on me.

Nan... That's really good for your first time! Of course, I'm no puppet expert, but it's far from what I could ever do. Keep up the good work!

Actually, you did a very nice job using materials that are kinda hard to work with! Felt doen't like to form around corners that well and styrofoam isn't known for it's love of hot glue...

Honestly, from what I see in these images, you have a good instinctive feel for building. Your sense of proportion and mechanics look to be pretty draned good! I'd like to see what you can do with different materials. Take a look around for a few tutorials with reticulated foam (or even cushion foam) and fleece. If that's the look you want, I'm absoultely certain you would take to them like a duck to water.
