Really nice!

almost done! he just needs strings and a vest (I'm also considering a tiny hat.)

the pants/legs were trial and error, if I had known that this pair would work out I probably would have dyed them first, but I still may change them out later since I had pictured him with pants that had a little more poof.

know I just have to figure out what I'm going to use to make the control...

I love the shape and design of his body and hands! Very cool.  If you are going to cover the legs in cloths then the pattern for the legs can simply be a cloth tube that is stuffed with poly fill. You then sew two lines about 1/4 - 1/2 apart where you want the knee joint that does not have the poly fill in it.

Ahh... I should have looked at the second page before I posted the above. Looks like you figured out the pants part. I would still suggest putting the "tube" inside to act as the leg instead of relying on just the pants to tie the feet to the body.  Same thing with the arms. I make my "legs" as a tube as I said then at the top where I connect them coming out of the hips I have two wire U's that I loop each top of the tube over to attach the leg.  I also have a hip that is separate from the upper body that are attached together with fabric to allow the puppet to bend over more.

What you have now will work ok you just might not have as fine a control over his movements.  Since you are this far with him you might want to simply continue on and keep these things in mind for the next one.

great, he looks like a cyklop- genie!
