10 Things You Didn’t Know About 'The Fiend'

7. Wyatt Wasn't Happy With The Original Concept Art

Any artist, writer, performer or creator will know the sting of criticism. It's not something the human psyche takes well, but Jason Baker of Tom Savini Studios had to take one of the chin from Bray Wyatt when he showed the WWE man some concept art for his new 'Fiend' guise.

Baker told Gamespot that Bray didn't like what he saw at first.

In fact, the soon-to-be-masked menace enlisted the help of sketch artist Kyle Scarborough in St. Louis to help bring his vision to life. Savini Studios, who didn't get to where they are today by being precious, were delighted with the concepts and happy to help make Scarborough's drawings a reality. The whole process was very hands-on for Bray.

One of the only things Baker and company did was alter a handful of small aesthetic tweaks to the base mask design Kyle had come up with. It quickly dawned on them that this new 'Fiend' was going to performing differently to any of their other movie monster props and creations.
