Start now... get them out of the way. <BR/><BR/>First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good <B>and</B> fast.<BR/><BR/>I could see it working the other way too... some people probably get fast before they get good. <BR/><BR/>But it's all about what you can do... right now - today. Set your goals, get to work, and as you finish each goal move on to the next. If you feel something needs to be redone and you just can't live with it, then re-do it. And then move on.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25910439.post-1158427721176892602006-09-16T12:28:00.000-05:002006-09-16T12:28:00.000-05:00I think the hand you pixtured here looks great, Mi...I think the hand you pixtured here looks great, Mike. The art of the film will be how the puppets are finished, animated and edited, right?! That's my new philosophy, do what you have to on a film, compromise being the soul of progress, and believe that the artistry is in how the elements are pulled together in the end. (Kubrick would disagree but he had other issues.)Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25910439.post-1158395407588069622006-09-16T03:30:00.000-05:002006-09-16T03:30:00.000-05:00Yes, exactly!

But suffice to say, for their breif onscreen appearances, these guys don't need full thumb bone flexibility.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25910439.post-1158393822488498942006-09-16T03:03:00.000-05:002006-09-16T03:03:00.000-05:00I think the red thread acts a bit like tendons wou...I think the red thread acts a bit like tendons would.

So far it feels pretty supple, but who knows how it'll act once it's got rubber over it?Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25910439.post-1158391514006800202006-09-16T02:25:00.000-05:002006-09-16T02:25:00.000-05:00Nice twist-job on the palm by the way....Nice twist-job on the palm by the way....UbaTuberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777541540454167277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25910439.post-1158391461733566982006-09-16T02:24:00.000-05:002006-09-16T02:24:00.000-05:00You don't find that twisted armature wire is too s...You don't find that twisted armature wire is too stiff for fingers? I tried it awhile ago, but maybe twisted the wire too tightly...since Pandora Ive used that thin green floral wire...works best with long fingers like Nola 2 though...E.T. fingers :)UbaTuberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777541540454167277noreply@blogger.com
