Thread: Bernie the Banraku

Tweet

Alright old stuff I meant to post this guy last-last year. Anyway I made Bernie years ago as sort of a rag doll, a photo-op. But he was always designed with the intention of making him into a banraku puppet. Well I made a harness out of a baby carrier and put dowels through his arms then attached his feet with mine. At the last minute I gathered up some black clothes and went out trick or treating with the kids. It actually worked out really well the movement was herky jerky and I sort of blended in with the night. Some day maybe I'll post a video but dont count on it because I suck.




This is Bernie before I jammed dowels into his arms.

he looks good.

Man i love the character put into him.
Very cool.

Awesome! Great job.

Excellent! And just how creepy CAN he be when Kitty likes to cuddle up to Bernie too! Really great job.

Thanks alot

Oops, thought I already commented on this awesome guy! He's an amazing work of art all on his own, and makes what is possibly my favorite bunraku puppet. Love the colors you chose for him, and they look like they really help him stand out in the night.
