Mood Boarding Characters

To get the visual of a demon/ghost I looked at Tony Scoleri from Ghostbusters 2, one of the ghosts in the courtroom scene. The angular face also made me think of the Deadites from the Evil Dead series. The Deadites are perfect for the Demonic look that I want to convey.
Tony Scoleri went through three stages of development. The first stage involved using a full-sized puppet with an articulated head. Mark Wilson built the prototype and video tests were promising but Dennis Muren believed the rotoscope load required would hamper the production schedule. Tony was redesigned to be portrayed by Jim Fye. Tony's head was attached to a skullcap positioned in front of and on top of Fye's head. The collarbone was lowered to elongate the neck and add to the emaciated torso design. Oversized shoes, extra lengths of cloth strips, droopy pants, and finger extensions were added to complete the skeletal look.

Tony Scoleri's development is something to keep in mind for my character
