Unseen Original Concept Art From Maleficent

Disney’s epic live action movie Maleficent hit the theaters with amazing special effects, the back story behind that witchy woman who proclaimed herself Mistress of All Evil, and mixed reviews from moviegoing audiences.

But despite what you thought of the movie, the hard working artists behind the scenes who are ultimately responsible for giving the film its signature look and feel deserve a lot of praise.

Here’s a peek at some crazy original concept art for Maleficent created by concept artist Kelton Cram, which shows how the character’s look evolved from ethereal forest witch to the chiseled cheekbone version that made it onto the big screen.
