Night Tooth Fairies
This work was the conceptualization of a tooth fairy, but not as the friendly dancer that is known, but as a small creature intent on collecting teeth. A more animalistic and spooky design was chosen to have more in common with the environment in which the supposed tooth fairy carries out her work, in the middle of the night.
The process went from conceptualization in 2D, modeling and posing the fairy in a 3D environment to finally generating a final render of the shot in 3D using digital painting.
Night of the tooth fairies
Exploration of silhouettes for a monster tooth fairy or more creature than human. An appearance closer to a primate or an ape was taken as a basis.
The most striking silhouettes, number 2 being the chosen one.
Further defining the attributes of a lemur in the chosen silhouette.
Final sketch of a tooth fairy with lemur anatomy and bat-like membranous wings.
A base for 3D modeling in ZBrush using Zspheres respecting the articulation points according to the chosen anatomy.
3D modeling and a polypaint on flats for the model.
A mock up of the tooth fairy in a dissection box.
The 3D model of the fairy was taken in different positions and then the Blender camera was used to propose different frames, with frame 2 being the one chosen in the end.
The chosen frame was taken to Photoshop to be able to make a final render with digital painting.
