It’s been a while since I’ve gotten to work on this puppet. Admittedly, I got a bit depressed when I hit some road blocks on this build, but now I’m back on my game and ready to make this puppet look great. The first thing I had to tackle was the muzzle. It was supposed to be done in fur, but it lost so much definition. So, I covered it in white fleece instead. The results were great! I also built a nose and covered it in rubber to give it the wet, dog nose look.
I love the way the fur is drawn in the original art.
To pull this off, I wanted to have a well trimmed, defining fur that would make him look very dog like. So, I used some patterning skills and hand- stitched this body together.
After I placed the fur on the foam body shape, I trimmed it down as much as I could. Here is a picture of the nearly completed process. Gorgeous stuff. Can’t wait to finish!
