How To Train Your Dragon - The Hidden World :: Grimmel

So excited to be able to share some of my work for 'How To Train Your Dragon - The Hidden World'. What an honor it was to both Visdev and final model the villain for film, Grimmel. Here are images I showed at various stages of development and all the way to final. Special thanks to Production Designer, Pierre Olivier Vincent (a.k.a. POV) for his confidence and trust in me with this challenge and to Dean Deblois for the amazing story he has crafted and Matt Paulson for the leadership. Original concept by the amazing Carter Goodrich and additional art direction and concept designs by the superbly talented Iuri Lioi.

This was very early exploration and quick studies to try and find the character.
