Evil Dead Burn - Will Deadite Design

I was approached by makeup and prosthetic designer Jane O'Kane to help conceptualize Will's final Deadite form. 
Director Sébastien Vaniček had specific ideas in mind and needed a concept designer to collaborate with him to bring his vision to life. Starting with a broad range of initial sketches, we gradually honed in on the final look. He envisioned a creature with a terrifying, unique silhouette and a complex mix of textures - burnt bone, leathery skin, glowing embers, and melted clothing - all blending together to create a memorable final antagonist for the film.
This was the approved final design that was used to build the prosthetic make up from, the photoreal marquette used on set for VFX reference and the final VFX model.
