I’ve been a big admirer of illustrator Cory Godbey ever since I stumbled upon his blog about a year ago. I love his style and character design–particularly his dragons.

I approached Cory about a month ago and told him that I thought his designs would make wonderful puppets. He agreed and created the watercolor of a dragon that you see above. (I’ve always wanted to create a dragon puppet but never had the occasion). Over the next several weeks, I am going to bring this dragon to three-dimensional life…and document the process here on the blog, so stay tuned…
