The Roly Puppet Pattern
Character: "TRON-TRON is a male from Saturn. Saturn people are known as experts builders and pilots of fantastic starships. TRON-TRON is the pilot of the first interplanetary ship for terrestrials. He is so special, so optimist, dancer, singer, innocent but a little bit clumsy about driving the ship, and sometimes he break the main cables and circuits touching everything in a crazy way!" - Jose Vega
Technical: "This one of my two first puppets I made. They are the main characters for a local TV station program called SUPERSONIK. The history behind the making of this puppets was a little bit incidental. We had to set up a children's show the local TV station where we work. It was a Saturday and shops were closed. I found a home decorating shop, and saw a beautiful blue blanket...I started to think on the character. The rest as usual - ping pong balls for the eyes, and silver leather for the trimmings." - Jose Vega
