ALL PLAGUE DOCTOR, ALL THE TIME
"A plague doctor (Italian: physici epidemeie, Dutch: pestmeester, German: Pestarzt), was a special medical physician who saw those who had the bubonic plague. They were specifically hired by towns that had many plague victims in times of plague epidemics. Since the city was paying their salary they treated everyone, the rich and the poor. They were not normally professionally trained experienced physicians or surgeons, and often were second-rate doctors not able to otherwise run a successful medical business or young physicians trying to establish themselves." --Wikipedia

Yeah, it’s done!! So this was designed by hospitalvepsers and made into a puppet by me! Basically the first puppet I made (yeah I technically finished the starburns one first, but this one was sitting in a drawer 90% finished for a few months)
Going to take some better photos tomorrow in natural light. I’m really excited about this guy! GREATEST COLLABORATION!
