Here's a picture showing the progression of the above creature's head from cardboard under structure to finished piece.



Also I just put up a post on my website discussing design and the philosophy of doing things practically vs strictly digitally. I welcome all of you to check it out add to the discussion.

Wow, that's a huge impressive change from cardboard to puppet. Have bookmarked your link for later reading.

So originally this was going to be a two person beast, or are these two different beast you are working on? Very impressive work!

Super cool and I can see the HUGE amount of work involved. I agree with Shawn it would be great to have the mouth mechanism to be hidden internally. Keep it up. Cant wait to see the end result.
