puppets scare some people

Well heres my first actual art post. I'll do my best to update this often. This was some character design work for school. the assignment was to design two thieves, Hassan, and Codad for an Ali Baba and the 40 thieves kind of story. Anyways, i got a crazy idea to make one of the characters a puppet, and the other, the puppetier. However its the puppet that calls the shots... and swings a big sword.

How? i dunno, its a cartoon!

anyways, enjoy!
