#rodpuppet

So my original Magikarp rod puppets were all the size of the little golden boi here, until I realised it takes the same amount of effort (and less pain) to make them bigger! So my current generation of Magikarp are much larger! This was a fun set of photos just to show the size different between the original set and my current gen. I'm a bit sad because I can't buy the ready made domes I used for the mini fish in the size to fit the big karp, but ah well. Ain't they adorable?

Now he's fully dressed for an adventure! This little guy came home for a little jaw hinge repair.  While I had him he was fitted with his very own custom cape.                                    

#puppets #horse I'll never stop loving this War Horse created by the Handspring Puppet Company for the play of the same title. #WarHorse #handspringpuppetcompany #puppet #PracticalEffects #rodpuppet #Theater #Broadway #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B8L-A5Pl1Db/?igshid=jqu5wfg5q690

So I helped out with the Puppetry track at Anthrocon 2024, and snagged one of the little information pamphlets being handed out to folks who attended the panels/workshops in order to make my own little finger puppet at home. Well, I decided to alter said pattern a bit and make Numskull instead (who turned out stinking adorable!). Btw Numskull is easier to puppet for pictures while not on my finger (hence the bottle stand-in), but is totally fun to play with! Once again, thank you @yvethered for the fun little base pattern to work with!

It's like a bundle of flowers.. but fish! Pokemon rod puppet fish! My original fanart fish were Magikarp, but there's other Pokemon swimming about, so here's me expanding my repoitoire to include Goldeen and Seaking! No leather this time for the accents, instead soft..something material painted with copics, googly eyes for Seaking and teeth and horns made from milliput. Again, wooden based rod puppets, hand carved my yours truly and looking for new homes!

So here's a rod puppet where you can actually see the rod control! The ever so confused and fearing for their life, Feebas! Made from hand carved jindulung wood, leather accents and hand painted!

#Alien3: In Defense of the #RodPuppet, is one of my most popular videos on YouTube. Have you seen it? I have a whole series of videos where I express my opinions about the third installment of the franchise. Great actors, sets, and effects work but things get... completed from there. You can find the video on my YouTube channel.
