Stop Motion Animation Puppet by Jeff Lafferty

I haven’t been able to keep up with the blog lately, just too much real world stuff going on. There never seems to be enough time to do everything I want too.

I’ve made some good progress on the puppet. I think I’ve finally worked out the hair problem (more about that later) also the eyes are finally working.

All in all I think this head is a big improvement over the last one.

See you soon

Yeh, this looks great! And nice to see some Fett art in the background.

Ps I've never seen fingernails so short! :)

And you can change the facial expression ! (: o

Fantastic work, Jeff ! I still admire you for your creativity and all these things you can do with your hands ! Thumbs up for you ! :D

How are Tristan and Tania ? :)

Jenni Lee said...

Where did you get those awesome eyes?!
I love your style :)

Nice! I like the idea of the hair being a mix of molded hair and a real hair pony tail. Good thinking!

And the mouths look amazing!

Thanks Ben I appreciate the encouragement. (Ben helped me out with some advice about the hair, I ended up giving the hair extensions another try and so far so good)

Thanks Dean, yeah, I’ve always had a problem with chewing my nails. Its something I picked up from my dad and I’ve never been able to break the habit.

Thanks Manu, both my T’s …Tanya & Tristan are doing well.

Thanks Jenni, I picked up the eyes at a place called Junkyspot.com They’re manufactured doll eyes. The ones I’m using are the 12mm cobalt blue, but they have quite a few different sizes and colors.

Thanks Sean, I think its going to work well.
