Unrealized Designs
The following are projects that I did for an independent study I did twice for rendering. The first one done in Fall of 2020 and the second in Spring of 2022.
Design Studio
Fall 2024 at the University of Florida
The Secret Garden
Marsha Norman's musical The Secret Garden is a show that was another collaboration with fellow MFA designers and we agreed on a concept of memory, rebirth, grief, spirituality, and growth. We showcased the memories in the costumes by having all the "Ghost" characters portrayed in pastel colors and the characters who are alive in vibrant colors.
​
The project consisted of 10 renderings minimum. This is my first time using Clip Studio Paint as a drawing program
The Tempest
Shakespeare's The Tempest done in a high fantasy style to a historical period of the late 1300's Italy, my fellow designers in this project decided that Prospero learned his magic through the earth and works with it whereas the Witch he defeated took the earth magic selfishly.
We had ideas of shadow puppetry for Prospero's Magic and bioluminescence for the magic of the earth (Like Ariel's).​
​
This is the last project I did in school using traditional rendering methods. They were done using digital line art, watercolor paints, metallic markers, colored pencils, and UV reactive paints on Ariel.
Rendering II
