She Kills Monsters: The Virtual Realms:
In the Spring of 2021 I designed She Kills Monsters: The Virtual Realms at Sweet Briar College under Director Bill Kershner. The production was done via a live Zoom, the production photos were staged after.
I built the dragon scale armor for Tilly, since she is Tiamat at the end of the play (spoiler) using a pattern I bought on Etsy. A student and I worked to build Tilly's cape. I also draped, built, and painted Agnes' armor for the show. I and a student worked on Orcus's shoulder pauldrons. They are made from leather and I used a cosplay pattern. I also painted Orcus' and Lilith's horns. I made Kaliope's bracers from leather using a cosplay pattern.
For the Great Mage Steve I used one of my personal vests, that I had previously built. I also used one of my personal capes that I built for the Narrator.
Farrah's dress had gold spray painted leaves and flowers sewn to it. I also textured and painted the Evil Cheerleader's wings, as well as distressing their cheer uniforms.
