Diego's Murdock

This is a fun character from a while ago. Murdock here is a really unique character that was a lot of fun to build.

This is a fantastic example of how interesting and distinct a character can be when created from our Simple Style puppet shapes. At his core, Murdock is a Simple Style Egghead puppet, with the live-hand monster-body variant.

Even from the early inspiration stages, this character had a really unique look and distinct personality which was a lot of fun to interpret and build.

Since this character was already so distinct, much of the design work had been done for us already. All we had to do was translate the design character into our Simple Style shapes.

It was a lot of fun working on this project and bringing this character to life.

Past work: John's Grouch

Here's a fun character we built earlier this year:

This one is a live-hand, sack-monster type puppet with an eyebrow mechanism, meant to look like a Sesame-Street-Grouch-like character.
This is a great example of one of our "Full custom" puppets, with new patterns and shapes made from scratch.



Here's a video of the build progression, and some shots of the final puppet in action:
