A puppet armature created as a personal project - it's a friend of mine from high school wearing a cardboard box on his head and brandishing a paint thinner.

The puppet was made with a simple wire armature, bulked up with foam. The hands are molded and baked Sculpey, attached to the puppet via bonding material. His clothes were hand-sewn from fabric.

1 - PLANNING

Some initial sketches of the puppet, his props, and some miscellaneous scribblings of various ideas.

2 - MAQUETTE SKELETON CONSTRUCTION

Construction begins of wires to act as the puppet's skeletons.

3 -SCULPEY HEAD CONSTRUCTION

The head, mid-fabrication, being built out of Sculpey.

4 - FINALIZING HEAD DESIGN

Finalized head, albeit without pupils or hair. Skin color and eyebrows are finalized, though.

5 - CLOTHING DESIGN AND FABRICATION

The puppet's clothing was cut and sewn from fabric, with foam board being used for his foam arm pieces.

6 - PUPPET NEARING COMPLETION

The puppet is nearly done, just requiring some finalized paint. The hands are solid, made from cooked sculpey.
