New Custom Puppet Pictures

[bezalel]

Hi all! It's been awhile since my last post. Things have been very busy in the workshop lately. I plan on posting pictures of these characters (plus some behind-the-scenes pics) on the Project Puppet Blog (http://www.projectpuppet.com/blog/), but here's a preview (just for MC members) of some of the characters Project Puppet has been working on.

About half of the characters for this project were built from Project Puppet patterns. The others were custom patterns or "stock" patterns we had from previous projects. Hope you enjoy...

I've said it before and I will say it again, "You are one of my favourtie builders."

Personally, I love Big Mouth sooo much. He is something special.

Great work. And what a wonderful style!

[mrhogg]

They look great!

[KermieBaby47]

Love 'em all, but Squirt is my absolute favorite!!!

Great work man.

[Tztz]

Original and full of inspiration, as usual :-)
Hip Hip for you!
(HURRAY)

[intozlight]

Such a great group of new characters! Can't wait to share my newest "Bernard - The boy beaver genius!" based on the sock pattern. He is all finished and I should have photos in a few days.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Can the troll move his eyebrows?

[bezalel]

Thanks for all the comments, guys!

There are more characters in the works. I'll post pictures of them as well when they are finished.

Gfarkwort, yes, the trolls eyebrows move. More like an eye widening movement and they work independently of each other. I think the raising of just one of the eyebrows really fits his character.

[gfarkwort]

That's Awesome!....it does look like it would fit his character...He's Cool...

[Fozzie Bear]

Awesome stuff!

In a quick run-down, what'll you be doing with them?

[bezalel]

Hey Foz - I'll be handing the characters off to the folks behind Big Magic Book. :) They'll be shooting 3 pilot episodes in a few weeks. It's to be a children's television show. The underlying idea of the show is that anything can happen between the pages of the Big Magic Book!

You can read about it on the Big Magic Book Production Diary (http://bigmagicbook.blogspot.com/) or more about the puppets on the Project Puppet Blog (http://www.projectpuppet.com/blog/)

[Fozzie Bear]

Cool!

[sleepylagoon]

Great work Bezalel, simply wonderful characters.
On a side note, was wondering if you would consider patterns or instructions on the mechs and other accessories you use on your puppets as part of your product line on your website?

[ChinoXL]

Those are wicked! I like bigmouth allot

[bezalel]

Thanks again for the positive comments everyone.

Sleepylagoon, it's been our intention for quite a while now to come up with a blinking eye mech kit that could be easily added to the Project Puppet patterns (or any puppet for that matter). The idea hasn't materialized as of yet. Creating a product like a blinking eye mech is quite a challenge - balancing simplicity of design, availability of materials, the versatility of the mech itself, while (and at the same time):concern: making the whole package affordable. Nevertheless, it is a product we see for the future.

We've been very busy recently in the custom puppet "department". Once we finish up the current projects, we'll be jumping feet first into new patterns and kits and series for Project Puppet. So really all I can say at this point is ...stay tuned!

[Keeermit]

Bloody Beautiful work as always! Your work always brings a smile to my face :)

[sleepylagoon]

"cool", he said . . .containing his anticipation

[bezalel]

Thanks Keeermit and sleepylagoon!

[bezalel]

BEZALEL I'm Sitting here At my Desk at work Crying !!!
THOSE ARE AMAZING!!!!!
Sreetvee Knocked me OVER in my chair and The Witch Picked me right back UP!!!!

[Lab Rat]

Those are fantastic puppets Bezalel well done

[Blink]

You are a serious master builder. And one of the most creative builders I know. I have always been a fan and I am even more so now. The list of things I like about each puppet would be almost endless. It is stuff like this that shows why you are one of my favourite builders ever.

[sleepylagoon]

OMG! BEZALEL YOU CONTINUE TO OUTDO YOURSELF WITH EVERY POST!!!
The characters are awesome, the construction is top notch, I am at a lost for words, you are setting the bar incredibly high!

You are my hero
:crazy: :D :flirt:

[Tztz]

Great stuff. seriously, you are great!!

[PuppetMom]

Bezalel...this is why I buy patterns from you!! You are an amazing talent & everytime I see another of your creations, I want to buy another pattern!! There is no end to your creativity. Thanks for all the inspiration! Steevee was great, but the witch is my definite fave!!

[BorkBork]

Ever heard of the never ending story? ;)

[bezalel]

Thanks guys! You're making me blush over here. It's been fun (and a lot of work) building these characters. I can't wait to see them brought to life by the performers. Steevee has got a few little "robot" surprises packed in that I can't wait to see in action in the final production.

Anyway, thanks again for all the comments. I'm still working on a few more characters. I'll post pictures when they are done!

[wes]

Beautiful!!! this proves that puppetry is really a work of art!

[Phantom]

You already know my feelings. I'm blown away.

[thefroglives]

where do you get those wonderful toys?

[gfarkwort]

where do you get those wonderful toys?

O_O :o :mad: :(

they're not toys.......

[thefroglives]

Haven't you seen Batman ... it was a quote silly

[gfarkwort]

you didn't say it like a quote....

....and it seems like a rather obscure quote...anyone could have said it

[Punch'n'Judy]

The actual quote is "Where does he get all of those wonderful toys?" - The Joker

Sorry, just being picky!

:rolleyes:

[dkmontgomery]

Very nice work. Totally motivates me to keep working on my puppets to perfect the various techniques. I am a big fan of project puppet patterns. They are fantastic patterns to work from as a starting point.:halo:

[wes]

Run My friend you just said a bad word, thats a big no no in the puppetry world. My jaw drop when I heard this.

It's ok everybody he's a newby, he probably dosen't understand!!
