Calvin at Stormbrush is an up-and-coming 3D artist who loves sci-fi, fantasy and horror while having a special interest in robots, monsters, and space. Calvin recently took it upon himself to reinterpret the grotesque transformation into Brundlefly (the art is from 2015 but we’re only just now seeing it), which we wanted to share with you ahead of Fox’s forthcoming re-remake of The Fly (to be directed by Sleight‘s J.D. Dillard).

“I watched The Fly 1986 recently and still love it very much,” explains Calvin. “This is more than just a monster movie, it has depth to the story and character. So I decided to redesign the creature.

“The challenge to design this monster is that it is crossing species quite drastically, and you get to see the development,” he continued. “It starts from flesh and skin infection to deformation, and then slowly the parasite reveal itself, and it is taking control of the host. Stage 4 and stage 5 is the biggest challenge and the most fun part, because it is at its turning point, that you want audience terrified but also sympathize with Brundle. At this stage the percentage of how much human feature being revealed is critical.

“The full body Brundlefly use the basic structure and poses of an insect, but with distorted and infected flesh, cross over with insect patterns, hairs and leg parts. The middle legs only revealed at the end of the transformation, which affects the pose and walk cycle, making it completely non-human.”
