CINDERELLA: A MOBSTER THRILLER

Tasked with taking a beloved fantasy story and spinning it with a new theming. Referencing the origins of the Cinderella fairytale, which was first documented in China and Greece, I created character mockups of Cinderella the Healer and her Step Mother the Mob boss.

Color portrait of Cinderella wearing purple, blue, and light green robes.

In this rendition of Cinderella, Cind is a servant healer assigned to care for anyone in the mob that needs it. Her main methods are through ointments and aromatherapy, which is represented through the diffuser and ointment bottle.

This character design underwent multiple critiques and changes over the span of 7 weeks.

Final color portrait for Step mother wearing long pink, blue, and purple robes with gold designs.

In this rendition of Cinderella the Step Mother is the leader of the Mob and takes great pride in the fact. While Cind is her step daughter, she quickly casted her aside after killing her father. She is ruthless in her position and her weapon of choice is a bladed fan.

This character design underwent multiple critiques and adjustments over 7 weeks.
