The Witch's Lodge : Afternoon Tea 🫖

I painted a layout to test out different lighting scenes and this is the "afternoon" version. I wanted it to be warm and very dreamy with magical-looking dust particles. Hopefully, It'll contrast the more cool tones I'm planning for the morning scene. Part two will be coming soon!

The Workspaces of TotK: Princess Zelda's Secret Well Zelda in her lofi era 🎧 Been a long time coming to make a few Tears of the Kingdom/Breath of the Wild fanart and hopefully a few more to come! I'd love to focus on workshops/workspaces in the games, so I'm looking at Purah's Lookout Landing lab and the makeshift space under the fallen ruin in Kakariko village for the next ones!

Costume Analysis Part II: Kahekili This is my second set of illustrations breaking down some of the costume designs in Chief of War. For these drawings, I wanted to look into the construction of the 'ali'i's (Hawaiian nobility) 'ahu 'ula (full-length feather cloak) and the specific kākau (traditional hand-tapped tattoos) patterns depicted on Kahekili in the show. My previous illustrations of the costumes were done on some of Ka'ahumanu's gorgeous pāʻū (traditional Hawaiian skirts/gowns). They are posted on my page if you're interested in looking at some of that research! Costume Design: Caroline Eselin Kahekili: Temuera Morrison

A couple of pages from my sketchbook looking into details of Ka'ahumanu's costume designs from Chief of War by costume designer, Caroline Eselin. Ka'ahumanu's regal costumes have specifically been so eye-catching and gorgeous to me - especially the pleats, folds, and bows that seem to grow with each episode. I did a little research behind elements of the traditional Hawaiian garments and adornments because I was so curious about the origins/design/meaning behind each piece. Nothing too deep in the notes - moreso just identification of items and materials that could fit on the page. Can't wait to see more costumes and hopefully I'll be able to sketch out more of the designs and get into the details/symbols!

I wanted to try a different mood than what I usually do 🌧️ Also a little love for the dramatic environments of Inazuma

The Witch's Lodge: Morning Notes vs Afternoon Tea

The alternate lighting scene of the witch's lodge layout! To contrast the dreamier, warmer afternoon version, I brought down the lighting and temperature to make it moodier and quieter. I wanted Nicole to blend in with the background rather than become the central focus and gave everything more of a blue-ish/purple tinge. Which version do you prefer?
