The first creature i would think about creating would be the Faun. As my idea was inspired alot by Pan's Labyrinth. i decided to have a look at how the faun was made in that film.
I do believe that the facial part of the faun was done using Foam Latex which is widely used in Big Budget and Hollywood Films.
I believe the best way to create the creature as it is in concept art is to use a foam latex mask - as foam latex can be molded around a model. and then add the horns over the top as done in the above video.
As for the Troll and the Fairies i believe it would probably be better to create them digitally as it would be easier than trying to do it on set. However for the troll it could be an interesting idea to attempt to film someone in a sensor suit and then manipulate the image and size through the computer as seen with 'Gollum' in 'Lord of the Rings'
