Rachel 10/5/10


So my show at work is going into preliminary production, which means i can share some final renderings. This one is of two characters who are aborigines who wash ashore on a deserted island, inhabited only by a man and his dog. I shared the prelims back in September, but now i've moved on to doing final renderings so it'll be cool to look back and contrast the difference.

In this show, there are a couple of Players who do multiple roles, so this rendering shows two of them in their base costumes, after adding wrap garments in custom created batik fabric to adopt the roles of Gunda and Yamba. Yamba carries a doll which represents her brother, Bobo.

This sketch was done with a combination of pencil, ink pen, marker, and Photoshop.

I've begun to blog about the technical process of the batik design in my costume craftwork blog, La Bricoleuse, which you can read more about here, in a post chronicling the design process of the pattern.
