Black Bear

I had to take a break from the puppet sketches. This was one of those quick and dirty painting sketches. I had a burst of inspiration and got to work. It was a lot of fun!

Policeman Puppet

The Policeman puppet. My Oma got a lot of use out of the green fabric. My Mother says it was an old wool suit of hers. He may have had a wooden baton at one point but over time it must have gone missing.

Die Polizei sketches

When designing secondary characters I tend simplify the eyes. A character that has relatively realistic eyes (eyeball, iris, pupil) gives them a soul. You connect with them on an emotional level. With the policeman I want to keep him sort of mechanical as if he has only one function...to catch criminals. Seek and destroy!

The Devil Puppet

Here's the puppet my grandmother created. Complete with pitch fork!

Devil sketches

Here's a couple ideas for the Devil. I didn't want him to be too scary. More maniacal than anything.
