ABOUT

I was provided with a 2D concept design to translate into a wearable full-head silicone mask to be worn by the lead character for this horror comedy independent feature film, starring the titular amphibious creature.

I worked with the Director to make adjustments to the 2D concept art, discussed how the mask needed to work with the actor and costume on screen and how to bring the character of the creature alive in the execution of the mask. I then sculpted, moulded, cast and painted the final mask. The mask required acrylic eyepieces which I also designed and painted.

The feature film began achieving cult status as soon as it hit the independent film festival market, winning accolades throughout 2022 including Best Feature Film at Sci-Fi London and Romford International Horror Film Festivals, and a nomination for Best Sfx at GenreBlast Film Festival.
