Beautiful work, Dave.
Your Devil reminds me of the Devil in Ladislaw Starewicz's signature stop motion film The Mascot (aka Puppet Love aka The Devil's Ball, 1934).
Nice figures! Keep 'em coming!

The first time I saw that film was on Night Flight in the early 80's. For some reason it really creeped me out!!!! By the way....those puppets are fantastic!!!!!!

It still creeps me out, haha!
In fact I'm willing to bet anyone within a certain window of age, who knows of that film, very likely saw it first on Night Flight, which may have been short-lived but was a truly incredible show! They aired it as 'The Devil's Ball', if I recall. As such it was incomplete; the main story is of a dog who's trying to acquire an orange to bring home to his master, a sick little girl who needs it, and braves many adventures (such as this frightful Devil's ball) to get it. Or something like that.
Amazing work.

That's interesting. I guess I have never seen the full length version! Yeah...Night Flight was THE best thing on television during that time, IMHO.
