Steampunk Characters: Costume Renderings

Several Original Steampunk Characters, clothing soon to follow in my Etsy shop!

Dr. Harvey Whitaker, renown ornithologist and adventurer who is caretaker to a large collection of rare birds. Though much of his background is shrouded in mystery, no one can deny he is an intelligent and kind gentleman.

Miss Camilla Fairfax, widow and owner of the Kit-Kat club. Known by many as a Mistress, she takes very good care of the girls who work at her club.

Katrina Lockheart, a voluptuous assassin with deadly skill. Her father was a mercenary who taught her only to protect herself, but when she was 16 she ran away and immersed herself in the killing arts.

Miss Minnie Catharsis is a delicate southern woman from an upper class family. While she dallies in adventures from time to time, she never fails to take all the amenities... as well as at least 10 bodyguards.

All My Sons: Costume Renderings 2011

"All My Sons" is a moving piece set in the post-war 1940s. One man harbors a dark secret that has destroyed his best friend and his family. The characters, each dealing with their own internal battles, strive to carve out an existence for themselves in the now-uncertain world.
Renderings are a combination of watercolor, pen, pencil, and colored pencil.

 
Kate, the mother, wishes to have the perfect American dream family. She clings to the idea that her missing son did not die in the war; that he will be found any day.

 

Ann is the shining girl in everyone's life. After her fiancee was lost in the war she fell in love with the remaining brother in the family. While she cares for him, her actions allude to a deeper and darker reason for her uniting their families.

 Frank is the man who is always around, though rarely wanted to be around.

 George bursts into the story with a shocking revelation for his sister Ann about the way her fiancee's father had lied and put their father, his best friend, in prison. He is a successful lawyer who has just come from visiting their father in jail.

 

 Mr. and Mrs. Bayliss are a couple together out of custom. He wants to study medicines and be intellectually and creatively stimulated, while the Mrs. is mostly concerned with him being a provider. She worries constantly what others think of them.

Hello Dolly!: Costume Renderings 2010

Hello Dolly!: Costume Renderings 2010. Each of the main four actresses had 3 costumes constructed for them. I drew my inspiration from many many different places, including late 1890s fashion plates and the actresses themselves. I think the right combination of actor portrayal and costume is what really makes the character come alive. This was my first big show that set me down the path to become a costume designer.
PS, because of the production situation with the play, I ended up creating all 12 main dresses by myself in my living room at the time!
