I'm not going to go into a lengthy explanation about the creation of these 2 client puppets. I just wanted to upload several different views for you to see certain design choices (sometimes it's hard to see different areas in the one photo for the puppet page).

Does anyone get the title reference? Oh well. In any case, I wanted the Wood Elf character to have a little something extra, a prop, to help drive his importance a little. I used some spare plastic sheets, drew out pieces of a rudimentary crystal, then assembled them in 3D form. In order for the crystal to glow, I needed something that was small, but still rather bright. So I used 3 LED chip lights (each pointed at a separate crystal wall), wired them together, and attached them to the inside of the crystal. The Wood Elf is basically complete, but he is paired with another, upcoming, character. So this character's reveal will have to wait.
I am having to split my time between the Wood Elf and client puppets, but things are progressing well! I decided to try a new form of hair for this puppet: ostrich feathers. In the pictures above you can see my process for the hair. Essentially, I created small bunches of feathers, attached them to the head, and then hid the bunches by laying individual ostrich feathers in the front. Have any questions? Feel free to ask!
