Beetlejuice

I was commissioned to create a sculpture of Beetlejuice enjoying a nap on the stage production’s iconic couch. The commissioner was a big fan of the musical adaptation and requested me to base Beetlejuice’s design on actor Alex Brightman, who originated the role on Broadway.

I sculpted the model in ZBrush, created renders in Blender, and resin printed it on my MSLA 3D printer.

Pose options, taking the character’s comedic and chaotic nature into consideration. The client selected pose C.
