Thesis 2/6: The Godmother

Image 2 of 6 from my senior thesis, Cinderella.

My thesis was a series of illustrations (since pages, spots and a two page spread) depicting my own version of Cinderella. The whole idea is an expansion of the Cinderella My Way piece from my junior year. Just like that piece, I used my character designs from the Broadway Series because 1) the story of Cinderella is special for Tristan and Kag and 2)I knew using characters I care about would keep me interested in this project for the four months it took me to complete it.

After Cinderella is not allowed to attend the ball, she goes out to the garden and cries at the fountain. When she hears a sound she looks up, and the Godmother is there, perched on top of the still foutain looking down at her, fading off into nothing. I wanted to go with the more attractive looking Godmother concept rather than the frumpy old woman a la Disney.
