Here's the final initial Calixa Puppet design. I think I've pretty much reached the end of what I can happily do with a mouse where it comes to colouring and shading for now.

This was a really learning experience when it comes to doing a piece of artwork completely from scratch, doing the base shape and figure, the lines, then the various other parts. No tracing, just eyeballing other puppets and seeing how the elements go together and using that.

Once I get hold of some better tools, I'll see about refining the pic some more, as well as doing the Wildly Inappropriate Calixa puppet. :)

I really want to go and get some craftspeople I know locally to actually make me a Calixa puppet now! I'm sure she'd be cute and fluffy and adorable, and totally not have a FNAF vibe.

So thank you to the folks that take the time to view this! I hope that you have a chuckle too, and special shoutout to Labrynth for pointing me to various tutorials and giving feedback on the pic as it went.
