This is Merle, he is a puppet that I have recently been working on.
It took me a long time to figure out how to create Merle’s body suit. I wanted him to be very round and soft, so that I can animate him if I choose to. This is not something that I normally do. Usually I would have built foam around the wire frame until I had the desired shape and then hand stitched the clothes around it. This time I constructed the suit first and then stuffed him with cotton. He is built with a wire frame and stands on his own. I am very happy with how he has turned out. Yay!
