This is Lyle. He is going to the same client as Marko (see previous post). As opposed to Marko, Lyle was based on idea straight from the client and I’ve been working hard to make sure he turns out very unique.
I love the HUGE mouth and head shape on the small, conical body. I decided to texture this puppet’s fur to differentiate him from his green counterpart. Here, you can see I boiled the fur very carefully to give it a more matted, textured look.
Here are the head and body pieces assembled. I can’t wait to build his hands and feet! He will also have removable legs like Marko.
Interesting that the torso doesn’t look boiled as well. Curious how that’ll look on the final product.
I actually brushed it out once it had boiled just to change things up!
I really like the fact that you share the process of making puppets. I think a lot of people will become more interested in puppetry by getting to see how they are made. 🙂
