We’re now in the voting phase, and I want to thank, again, everybody who submitted a design. We got some fantastic pieces of work sent to us; really tremendous stuff. Thanks also to our panel of celebrity judges, who are now faced with the unenviable task of actually picking the best [...]
This is something we’re working on (based on a design provided to us). This is the paper-prototyping stage; once it’s nailed down, we use the paper pieces as the pattern to make the foam skeleton.

This isn’t puppet-related, but I want to send a link along because it’s about good design. Specifically, it’s about Ralph McQuarrie, famous concept artist on the Star Wars saga. He apparently did concept sketches for Battlestar Galactica, and I just saw a link today of some paintings he did relating to the project. From the [...]
