Toothless from Dean DeBlois’s live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon is a beloved character but also an interesting case for 3D artists. Specialists from Framestore shared a look behind the scenes, demonstrating how the creature was made, inside and out.
The artists tried to capture the charm of the character from the original piece, making it look like a “real living breathing animal,” a “combination between a salamander and a black panther or a big cat.”
