Balli the dog for Dave Hulteen
Wow! I got asked to build a dog puppet for Dave Hulteen based on his cartoon creation inspired by his childhood pet, Balli. Dave Hulteen is one of the creative geniuses behind the Bang and Bump puppet series on Youtube. It is a huge honor for me to be given this project. Dave’s designs are so well done, that a puppet that follows that design, HAS to look good.
I spent seven hours on this head shape and patterns alone, all from scratch. I have to say that I am immensely pleased that this is turning out so well as it is. I have already ordered all of the fur for this build. Hopefully he will be completed by Christmas!
