New puppet:Gramps and God

[wes]

Hey all check this puppet tell me what look you like best. Here's my favorite: Pic 1

It's started out sa a "God" puppet yea God is in the Creator of the universe(if your so inclined to believe so, if no worry's). I started to get a funny feelling about building a "GOD" puppet ( I didn't want to be smighted) so I will make it a grampa puppet.

It's a long story about the God puppet thing! I took several pictures for eyeplacement, i just wanted to see what the masses thought. Enjoy the pic's and tell me what you think and which on you like best?

Very cool, wes! I like 5 & 7. So is it going to be a God puppet, grammpa puppet or a kooky old Lloyd Bridges puppet? Nice job!

You'll need a scuba mask for it to be Lloyd Bridges.

First the beady-eye would be my first choice (numero siete). I understand completely about the "God" puppet thing. Moses, Abraham...yes, but I would refuse to reduce my Lord to a glorified glove.

I like the beady eyes best, they give him sort of a wizened, kindly look, and also make him look extremely similar to the Country Trio ( http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Country_Trio ), which is big bonus points in my book.

Yeah, it seamed like a good Idea at first then when I though about it, i did't feel worthy!!

Thanks It did make me remember, the band. I also like to think of it as this is what Jim henson would look like if he was here today.
Thanks all!!

i like #6.... the round eyes are cool... cut the black beady eyes are funny... lots of character. GREAT PUPPET!

my votes on the beedy eyes, number 1, and numbers 5 and 7

 

[scarylarrywolf]

Number 6 brings out the most character IMO. The bead eyes don't offer too much expression and kind of remind me of those rag dolls that old ladies like to buy in Hallmark gift stores. The elongated ones make him look like he's strung out on something, and we can't have God bearing that much of a resemblance to Jerry Garcia

Just me thoughts...

 

[puppetsmith]

Me thinks 1, 5, or 7.

I think definitely #1! The small eyes make him look like he's just ready to impart some great, grandfatherly wisdom. Great job!
