Death
Death, from Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, commissioned by the awesome Guy Davis himself, Co-production designer of the film, and Creature designer of the character.
I’m very happy with this reinterpretation— I was hoping I could make her more unsettling, as Death can be sometimes, while still being recognizable and serene. Particularly happy about the dual tail stylization!
The ending of this stunning movie helped me feel less scared during my recent misadventure with cancer, I’m very happy and grateful for getting to do this really fun commission.
