Designs
While drawing has never been my strong suit, that hasn't stopped me from being able to design. All the pieces I've created have a clear design in my head, or will develop one as I look at ideas, fabrics, or simply go through the creation process.
Though I consistently work on my drawing skills, I figured I might as well list my designs here all the same.
The Magic Flute
These took a little bit of altering. You can see how, in particular, the Queen of the Night's design changed from this design and the final product. This was largely due to time constraints meaning I had to cut portions out- however, the addition of the lace on the bodice was a surprise discovery. Otherwise, we see the development of the four skulls, Sarastro and the Queen of the Night's final designs.
Aelia Raedrigshalle
A 3-year long character, Aelia journeyed between nations within the Empire LRP system. As she developed and grew, so too did her outfit, reflecting the struggles and the journey she went through till she reached her final stage- a healer and a seer, too damaged to want anyone new to get close, disappearing into the wilderness with the wolf pack she'd raised from pups. She had a series of necklaces that each represented important events in her life- by the end, she had a good five or six. Her name is not remembered by those save the remainders of her hall- as she wants it, as that means nobody will try to find her.
Serilda i Kemen
The spiritual leader for her group, Serilda did not attend Empire LRP for long- the main reason she came was for her brother, and once he died, she had no reason to stay. Her costume was entirely sourced from charity shops, save for her horns and headdress which were handmade.
Drawn designs
These are all from various purposes and stages, either playing around with ideas or creating designs to show to potential customers to try and communicate my ideas. The attempts have varying success rates, but overall they turned out pretty good. I have a lot more success with digital art rather than traditional- more experience means I simply find it easier to draw that way.
