Text of the page (random words):
i had been con crunching with piggy last year technically i only just finished kermit today and the convention starts thursday lots of internal and external screaming was had with this build i did film the majority of it with plans to turn it into a full video and reel in the future maybe once i ve had a chance to recoup from aforementioned con crunch jim henson muppet princess bride the muppets princess bride prop making 36 2 375 5 629 komakesthings another entrant in my muppet princess bride series this is based on a suggestion from disappointmint from a few months back they wanted to see the more movie accurate version of this scene specifically where fezzik buttercup smile at each other after he successfully catches her but sweetums failing to catch piggy just felt more fitting for the muppet version buuuut i couldn t help myself and wanted to draw the sweet version too so consider this next drawing an alternate reality muppet princess bride princess bride the muppets miss piggy sweetums jim henson 2 259 614 komakesthings woo hoo i finally finished another youtube video this is the long form version of how i made my most recent labyrinth 13 hour clock replica this now brings me up to five 13 hour clock replicas in total at this point i think i m obliged to try and replicate every clock in the film i have so much respect for full time youtubers nowadays because this sucker took me the better half of a month to produce and edit hopefully i can figure out a good workflow so these can come out a little faster thanks in advance to everyone who watches i m currently chipping away at the next muppet princess bride drawing so hopefully that ll be hitting your timelines sometime in the near future jim henson labyrinth prop replica labyrinth 1986 youtube prop making youtube 19 42 komakesthings for the last year or so the muppets have been spotlighting a different muppet every week in the the muppets 70th celebration and we finally got to piggy s week so i of course had to draw some fan art of her this time a mucha style take on piggy ala the precious stones series of illustrations my drawing was inspired by another mucha style piggy that was recently featured in the julien s jim henson auction also from the precious stones series i thought piggy looked absolutely beautiful in the art nouveau style so i wanted to try my hand at it if i m honest i don t think i quite captured mucha s style but i do think i ended up with a lovely piggy all the same the muppets the muppets 70 miss piggy alphonse mucha art nouveau 48 152 komakesthings introducing my new robin replica after remaking my kermit earlier this year i knew i d be getting around to making an f3 fleece robin eventually granted i didn t think it s take me two whole seasons to get around to robin but hey that just means i got to take some fun winter shots with him which contrast nicely against the summer shots i got with kermit i did have to add the snowflakes in with photoshop in these pictures i had hoped to do a photoshoot with actual falling snow but the weather wasn t cooperating and i was getting tired of waiting for a perfect snowfall watch as we get one right after i post this robin is decked out in some american girl doll clothes which was a decent fit from the get go but i did have to take in the shoulders a bit feels kinda funny seeing him in a winter coat and sweater but no boots if the weather cooperates i m hoping to get a few more shots of robin outside enjoying the snow hopefully next time i don t forget my snowpants my behind was pretty frosty after the first photoshoot i didn t take many pictures while making robin because i mentally just needed a project where i didn t worry about documenting the build process but i ll include a few pics i did take below keep reading jim henson the muppets robin the frog puppet making prop replica 48 155 komakesthings disappointmint asked hi ko i think you re fantastic do you accept commissions because i absolutely love your muppets princess bride series and the one scene i d like to see more than anything is right when fezzic catches buttercup and they smile at each other i think if i ever saw sweetums smiling i would die of cute can i throw you some cash to make that happen hi there thank you i don t do commissions but i really appreciate your interest i ve done a few commissions for friends in the past and i find that i tend to just stress out worrying if the recipient will think the art is worth the price they paid me i ve never received a bad reaction to the finished work but it doesn t stop me from worrying about it ha ha so i tend to just do my own thing and avoid commissions because that s the easiest way to keep my art feeling fun for myself that said now that you re talking about it i do really wanna see that moment between sweetums fezzik and piggy buttercup too so you might see me draw that someday though i can t help but think that the more muppety version would be fezzik failing to catch buttercup ha ha we ll see what i go with whenever i get to drawing that part asks ask komakesthings 1 14 komakesthings ibrithir was here asked you re the muppet princess bride person and the labyrinth craft person how how are you so cool legit in awe of how talented you are arts and crafts wise dang thank you for not only sharing your art but your process as well ack i somehow missed the notification for this in my inbox i m so sorry for the super late reply thank you so much for the kind words i really enjoy getting to share my tutorials and art with everyone it s nice knowing that when i m long gone folks ll be able to appreciate the stuff i made or in the case of my tutorials be able to make their own labyrinth props as how i am so cool well the secret is that you just be so decidedly un cool that you somehow become cool in the process another tip is to not let the internet know your foibles like that one time i absentmindedly poured milk onto my chicken nuggets because i was thinking about how i wanted cereal instead just don t tell anyone you ate milk soggy chicken nuggets and they ll think you re super cool asks ask komakesthings i am so bad at social media i need to check my notifications better i m so sorry acckk 1 2 29 komakesthings my latest labyrinth prop replica the first 13 hour clock you see in the film this is the clock that jareth magics up to emphasize to sarah that she has 13 hours in which to solve the labyrinth this clock is only on screen for a few scant moments but that s all it took for me to become captivated by it largely because we never get a good look at the clock the question of what it might ve looked like in detail became a mystery i hoped to solve luckily for me i was able to find a reference photo of the same model of antique clock and used that to make my own version my clock is made out of laser cut engraved pieces of plywood stacked together to form the base of the clock before being stained and varnished the design of the clock face was made by cutting black and white vinyl on my cricut the little shield emblems no idea what these are called on the actual clock were poster board cut and stacked together sealed in varnish molded in silicone then cast in resin 13 times all of the faux brass was the typical spray paint acrylic aging gilder s wax combo and finished with a clock mechanism to turn it into a real working clock i made a little miniature scene with fake branches twigs i got from the craft store photographed in front of a big screen i photographed the clock separately then edited everything together in photoshop for fun here s a before and after the photo editing i had to colour the correct the lighting a ton because originally some of these shots were less sunrise in the labyrinth and more mustard and ketchup i took a separate photo of the sky that i used a colour gradient on to give it more of a sunrise vibe and combined that with a shot of jareth s castle the labyrinth to use as the background jim henson labyrinth prop replica prop making labyrinth 1986 labyrinth movie 5 281 583 komakesthings guess who finally finished another youtube video tutorial i m so happy to get this one out for some reason the editing really kicked my butt on this video and it s taken absolute ages for it to be done i m still not 100 happy with the edit but i m gonna chalk that up to me still just having to learn the ropes of video tutorials hopefully i ll learn a few tricks or two the more i keep at it this video goes into great detail about how i make my version of the didymus plush toy that appears in labyrinth didymus is a great entry level prop replica in my opinion because instead of making a plush from scratch you just need to modify an existing one which is exactly what labyrinth s prop builders did for the original plush i hope this video helps inspire folks to try making their own didymus plush replicas special thanks to everyone who sent me their prop replica s to showcase in the video labyrinth prop replica jim henson sir didymus didymus prop making prop replica tutorial video tutorial youtube 2 13 48 komakesthings after much procrastination i finally finished v2 of my kermit replica made with f3 fleece from weird kid store which they dyed for me as with my v1 kermit i primarily used ecl s threads on the replica prop forums as guidance for how to handle my build though i did do a few things differently like adding a lining to the head of my kermit and using foam dowels to stuff his arms and legs i took my kermit outside for some sunshine and ambiance which i slightly regretted because i forgot mosquito s exist and they were far more attracted to me than they were kermit but at least kermit got to enjoy himself i would ve taken more pics of kermit by the water but i was terrified he was gonna flop in i did not want to have to experience trying to get pond water out of foam and fleece jim henson the muppets prop replica kermit the frog puppetry puppet building 1 124 288 komakesthings time for another installment in my imaginary muppet princess bride series this one was yet another natural fit beaker s head tuck thing felt perfect for this moment where fezzik jogs the albino s memory drawing this scene made me realise what a nightmare casting sweetums as fezzik and pepe as inigo would be to actually film how the heck do you shoot a whole movie with these two sharing the screen together luckily i don t have to figure that out and can just cheat their respective scales when i draw i m not quite happy with how i drew the action of the second panel but after waffling about this drawing for a while i think i just need to release it into the wind or risk it never seeing the light of day i m also pretty slow at drawing so sometimes i take so long on these illustrations that the joke stops seeming funny and i start second guessing whether it was ever funny to begin with so thanks to my pals on the tough pigs discord for reassuring me that this joke does indeed still work muppet princess bride princess bride jim henson the muppets pepe the king prawn beaker sweetums 1 282 619 komakesthings hey all it s time for tough pigs annual pride month charity drive and that also means it s time for your chance to win some fabulous prizes including

it s been months since i started this craft but oh my god i am so proud of it it s the firey doll from the labyrinth the firies is that the plural are my absolute favorites from the movie even though some people think they re scary and i saw this just absolutely phenomenal tutorial by komakesthings on how to create the doll that makes an appearance in sara s bedroom in the movie and despite having only minimal experience with a sewing machine i knew i just had to this tutorial is free and the pattern is free and i want everyone to go look at it because it s so wonderful and it reminds me that there s good in the world and guys i made me own look at it look at him hes so fluffy im gonna die komakesthings ahhhhh you did such a good job he s so flipping adorable i love the different mix of yarn colours and textures genuinely he looks like something right out of a brian froud or john bauer illustration like he s not just a plush he looks like he could very well be an actual faeirie creature come to life he s just oozing personality especially that last pic i m envisioning a whole backstory where he s the one super friendly firey that would ve helped sarah and joined her on her adventure thank you so much for sharing 5 48 175 komakesthings photos taken by the lovely megan shickhard at megan s marvelous photography i haven t made a lot in the last year or so because i ve been super hyper focused on one project making myself a replica of miss piggy no joke i started working on her in july of last year and only just finished her in late april of this year granted that s with me taking a lot of breaks working on her because my typical work process involves a lot of sit and stare at an unfinished project because you don t know how to proceed and are afraid of screwing things up time after that long of working on piggy i was naturally burnt out and that definitely affected my perception of her for a long time i didn t think she was turning out and then suddenly when i attached the wig to her one of the very last steps in her completion all the sudden something clicked in my brain and now i m super proud of what i was able to accomplish with her sure there s a few things i want to adjust i definitely did not get her eye shape right way too spherical but for someone who doesn t usually make puppets i think i did a pretty dang good job i managed to impress adam savage with my piggy when i took her to see him at my local con and i m still riding that high three weeks later wip photos and construction notes are up on my blog for anyone interested in reading it there s way too much info to try and summarize for tumblr jim henson prop replica miss piggy 6 108 279 komakesthings after much delay i finally got my next youtube video completed this one going over the making of process for the jareth statue that i made last year yes that s right it s taken me almost a full year to get this one done anyone...
