Baby Griffin Puppets Posted by Sugarplumtoaster on Apr 12, 2011
: ) Hi ya'll.
As my first puppet project, i've decided on baby griffins!
They're gonna be the cable puppets that you see at the ren faires.
I've got my own unique spin on them, and I think that they are UBER cute!! So here is where i'm going to list my progress and failures on this and beg for all of your wonderful guidance XD.
Here's the link to the concept art for them! Tell me what you think!

btw, the one i'm going to be making first is the crow griffin, which I have oddly adapted the name 'Corona' for...

They're all very cute! I can't wait to see the finished puppets!
PS. If you haven't already, try searching the forums for discussions on shoulder puppets. There have been a few in the past and may be helpful.

: ) Thanks!! I've already got a few bookmarked, and i'm deviantart friends with one of them (who referred me to this site!) I'm working on the ball and socket joint right now and sculpting the beaks ^^ I've got a bunch of crazy ideas I want to try with this. I'll post more ideas and detail about those though once I've gotten a little further.

Can't wait to see the finished product. Perhaps you can document and share the build with us. I found these topics.

^^ I plan on it! Once I have something to show...
Which should hopefully be sometime tomorrow night.
I'm making the ball and socket joint right now.
So once I do that, and attach the beak, I'll snap some snazzy pictures for ya'll to analyze!
And thanks for the links!!!

They look like they are really going to be fun! I like your sculpt of the bat also BTW. Can't wait to see your progress.

They are so über-cute! ;-)

How did you see my bat sculpt?? o.0
Did i magically link it here somehow?
Or do you just recognize me from deviant art??
Re: Baby Griffin Puppets Posted by Shawn on Apr 19, 2011
I just clicked on your user account over at Deviant and looked at your other stuff after looking at your linked drawing above.
Actually I like your other sculpts also. Very unique. I love the blending of human and animal characteristics. There is a word for that... antro...? something I think. Tried to use Google to find the word I was looking for but to no avail.
Really nice work!
