Concept Design
I have created a visual development book as proof of concept for an animated series, 'Skyward'; a fantasy adaptation of the story of historical figure Zheng Yi Sao. I wanted to explore how costume design can express a character's development throughout a narrative, enriched by cultural, societal, and environmental contexts. I designed a series of five costumes from key moments throughout the story, each accompanied by a key scene.
