I have never created a "bad guy" before; all of my characters have been nice, goofy, etc. But on this occasion I needed to create the antagonist for Thistle's Treehouse. I had to make some choices to help show his attitude through his physical appearance. That is why I made his eyes yellow with large under-eye bags and, of course, the shaggy black, downward pointing eyebrows. This character is the last in the bunch for "Thistle," so next I will be working on the set!

Here are the last few process pictures of the eccentric store owner: Phineas. I wanted to show my arm attachment method. Using cheap doll eyes, I cut a plastic circle the size of the arm diameter and poke the doll eye through the center. Then I use the doll eye clip to secure the arm to the body. This not only creates a stable hold from arm to body, but also allows for great arm rotation at the shoulder.
There are only 2 more characters to create for the show: Phineas (a troll-like shopkeeper) and Grim Thornheart (a malevolent wizard). I decided to start on Phineas first. The goal with this character is to make his appearance slightly eccentric to match his personality.
