Posted this on my insta a while back with additional concept sketches, but it's crazy that this isn't the first time I thought of Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio when listening to The Adventure Zone. First it was Steeplechase, now this. But anyway, here's my interpretation of Phileaux's new form with that film serving as inspiration.
I made sure to really differentiate this design from the movie's design/Gris Grimly's concept because those are already perfect. I researched 19th century puppets for that rough hand crafted look and played around with the idea of Phileaux having articulated joints. I also like the idea that he took the cowl and rope from his old body to wear as a substitute robe.
