LOOK WHOSE BACK FROM HIS SCHOOL HIATUS! If you weren’t a follower of DisneyBound in the summer, and are only recent, I’d like you to meet DisneyBound’s illustrator, Phillip Light! You might recognize him from the Disney Princess Sloths that were featured on Buzzfeed recently. Weekly, he takes a DisneyBound outfit and brings it to life.

For my latest visual development project I chose to take the classic comic strip story “Little Nemo in Slumberland”, written by Winsor McCay, and place it in India. Nemo is based in modern day India and taken to the magical world of Slumberland which is styled in the vein of the Arabian Nights. I chose to center on character development and costume design for this project.

For this week’s homework for my Design Process 2 class, we were given a series of character types and told to create a character and a prop centered around that theme. One of the character types was “Evil Queen” and for some reason I kept imagining an Evil Drag Queen, so I just went with it!

The Story:

Once upon a time there lived a young prince who lived in a beautiful palace with his mother the queen and father the king. However unlike most princes, he didn’t enjoy dressing like a prince, and preferred to dress like a princess. One fateful day he was caught in the act of wearing one of his mother’s gowns and was severly punished by his father. The prince was told never to dress in gowns and crowns ever again and to act like the respectable prince he was expected to be.
Many years passed and the prince’s father grew ill and died. The prince, was crowned king, but instead made himself queen. Without the threat of his parents looming over his head, the prince, now queen, dressed in the most flamboyant of fashions. He made a decree that all men would now dress as woman, and all woman would dress as men. If these demands were not met, they would be punished by death. The queen wanted his subjects to feel the pain and frustration he felt all those years, being forced to act in a way that didn’t feel genuine.
Shortly into the reign of the new queen, the people of the kingdom revolted. They took over the castle and captured the queen. The queen was publically executed by guillotine, in the way his idol, Marie Antoinette, was killed. He didn’t mind, to him, that would be the most fabulous way to go.
