THE EMPRESS

MY PROCESS

01 
THE DIRECTOR'S MOOD BOARD

The Empress has an outlandish appearance that masks a deeper sadness.

02

SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES

Ms. Rothchild is designed to be open and vulnerable, while still following the dress code of her establishment.

02

SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES

The Empress card stands for feminity, periods of growth, and luxury. This is reflected in how she accessorizes her clothes, much like Janis Joplin on the Pearl album cover.

03 
EMBELLISHMENTS

 

I used various embellishments to push The Empress's luxuriousness.

FINAL PRODUCT

TAKEAWAYS

Through this project, I learned how to incorporate source material in subtle ways. In order to fully bring this character to life, I fully analyzed both Janice Joplin's style and The Empress tarot card. Pulling said details, such as the celestial crown and jewelry of the original card, allowed me to give the character more depth and reason for wearing their clothes. This also makes for fun Easter eggs for the viewers.
