Daniela Zhao - Concept Art 2024

The inmortal duchess

I was inspired by a song called "vampire" for this narrative and it was perfect for the topic our school proposed: medieval/victorian castle.

The Borrowers

I had the idea of developing a project inspired by "The Secret World of Arrietty" from Studio Ghibli or "The Borrowers" film from 1997 for a long time now. In a moment of inspiration I had the idea of making the characters as sisters that survives in the world. 

The little sister Dove, was severely injured when scaping from their previous home and unfortunately lost a leg, which traumatized her, fortunately she found comfort in the art of tailoring. On the other hand, Ava is superprotective and energetic girl that will do everything to help and cheer Dove.

Punk Project

During 2 months, we worked on a group project in class, where each member of the group had to design a character, prop and environment from an invented music band.

Our group decided to "create" Run Over Rats, a goth punk band. I was the responsible of giving life the drummer of the group and I really wanted to experiment with an older character and I really though it fit quite well to add a considerable older member of the group in a punk band.
