This isn't vector, guys. This is me being too lazy to put anything but messy flat colors in Photoshop, and then barely cleaning it up. Okay, so for final project in English we had to act out a scene and do a prompt book based on A Midsummer Night's Dream. We had to design costume and set based on what we would do if we could, and then awkwardly scrape real costumes together for the scene.

The idea is a mix of Athenian and Shakespearean costume.

So uhh. Quick runthrough, I did Hermia first and forgot to do the Greek thing basically until the very end. I didn't go into much detail of the flowiness of her dress, so it looks very generic. Basically I was geeky about the unrealistic sleeve/ribbons and gave up after that. Helena looks like a thirteen-year-old angsty wiccan/pagan/tree teenager from the costume store, but she's supposed to be whiny in this scene, so it's okay. The only problem is that her clothes completely clash with everyone else's, and probably came from about 100 years earlier, except for the sash which I like. D: Her corset makes no sense k.

Lysander looks like a little kid, which is okay. I still think I got the time period for the guys' pants wrong. Anyway for these fellows I basically took Renaissance garb and tossed a toga-ish cape over one shoulder. Then I tweaked the flow of the fabric so it flowed into it better.

As for the actual play, I got 25/25 for the acting part. 0_o I think it was out of pity, since I was doing such a hard job at overacting during the GIANT gaps when I had no lines (I was Demetrius). Plus I lost my original sword, so I was Demetrius, the Last Samurai with a Plastic Katana (granted, our original swords weren't exactly spot-on either, so I was facing off against Lysander the 18th Century Pirate).

(P.S. The larger side of Demetrius's cape clings semi-perfectly to his chest, utterly devoid of any reason for staying that way. IT'S AMAZING.)
