Goblin Designs and Misc.

Goblin Designs and other stuff.
I thought I'd put all our designs for the Ear Goblin from Kenneth up on the site. (Below) This is one of the first doodles I ever did for Kenneth, I think this was done when we first decided what exactly the goblin was, initially my idea was to have him just as a little tumor that crawls out of Kenneth's ear, I imagined it as a little puppet with a big mouth that would plague him! Eventually the goblin became more human like in our imaginations, at this point we were going to call him 'Daddy Long-Legs', neither of us can remember why we decided on this name, but it's pretty cool anyway! (Below) At one point we even decided that it should be an animated character! But we eventually changed our minds again , deciding a human actor in a monster suit would be the way to go! Below are a few designs that I came up with, with a grungy ill grey colour skin. # One thing we knew all the way through was that the monster should have a big shit eating grin. (Below) Oliver went off and re-designed him again as a sort of crazy little victorian professor? We had always imagined that he would have a bulbous, veiny head. I went off on another tangent and drew him with green skin and a long pointy nose, at this point he was going to look a little like Guy Fawkes or someone from that period! then we decided he should have a beard, grim teeth and a scar on his forehead of a skull! We sent this off to our special effects guy, the beard was gotten rid of, his nose was shortened for reasons of practicality (if it's too long it wobbles), he got a wig of long matted hair and the most disgusting teeth I have ever seen! After discussing it with Stephen Mosley who we picked to play the Goblin (His audition was amazing) we decided on the costume being a corrupted version of Kenneth's suit. In fact below is part of Stephen's audition; awesome! Below is our design for Peter Wood, we pretty much stuck to it, apart from the puffer jacket because it was mid summer! And here is Oliver's plan for the head growth scene, when we got our FX and prosthetics on the day they weren't quite what we asked/paid for, but it still looked pretty good.
