Stunning Unused PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS Lydian Drakon Character
Academy Award-winning character effects company, StudioADI, has released a new video detailing the development of the Lydian Drakon character for Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. For whatever reason this amazing creature design didn't make it into the film.
"Here's look at the development of the Lydian Drakon character for the film PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS. The concept started as a scary 6'5" frilled lizard man and became a 4'6" comedic sidekick. The character continued to shrink until it wasn't in the movie at all. That doesn't negate the precise sculpture ADI's Aki Ikeda, the paint scheme of Mike Larrabee and the application by Bill Terazakis' talented Canadian makeup crew featuring Maiko Gomyo, who herself is no bigger than your thumb." - studioADI
Percy Jackson has had an unnervingly quiet school year. But then he discovers that the magical borders protecting Half Blood Hill are failing. Unless something is done, the camp will be attacked by demons and monsters. The only way to restore power to the camp's borders and to save their home is to find the mythical Golden Fleece. And the only who can undertake this dangerous quest are Percy and his friends. Embarking on a treacherous odyssey into the uncharted waters of the Sea of Monsters (known to humans as the Bermuda Triangle), they battle terrifying creatures, an army of zombies, and the ultimate Evil.
