DENTRUST

This piece was created based on a poem by Shel Silverstein called The Crocodile's Toothache. Essentially the poem is of a crocodile and a dentist. The two are found in a rather uncommon situation, which relies on the two characters to trust one another. That trust however, ends up getting abused. This piece was designed to go alongside Shel Silverstein's poem.

​

The scene consists of two characters, the dentist and a tooth. Both were sculpted out of plasticine, photographed, and then edited in photoshop. The rest of the scene was painted using gouache and shooting light through the centre.
