AD requested a shawl type wrap for the figure, but thought it might be too much for the look they were going for.

Concept Art/Character design for the film "Lethe" by Howl at the Moon studios.
Production on the film has wrapped and they are expecting an October 2024 release.

Art director for the film needed some conceptual designs for the Makeup/FX team to work with in bringing the character to life. Didnt need a wrap around on the figure, just the front view with details on the elements that would be prevalent to the film.
She was a lot of fun to create, and while the final film toned down some of the elements on the character (AD was nice enough to send me some of the production stills), it still looks great.
