Part
of my final project for costume design.
Woe unto the poor guy who decided to be
a fairy in midsummers night dream. heh
heh heh. Someone needed to wear tights
and it had to be a guy. XD There are a
bunch of rational reasons why I would
choose this however.
First
off, I wanted to draw parallels between
his outfit and a mustard plant. If you
have ever seen these plants you know
that they are a stick with a few leaves
on them. So I choose to put him in
tights to show just how sparse the plant
is. I differed from the plant by making
him a very rich mustard color.
The
next parts deal with his personality. I
tried to give each of Titania's minions
as much personality as I could. Because
I can see both male fairies being her
personal boy toys I also felt it
appropriate to have him in really tight
fitting clothing. When girls want to
show off a guy first thing they will do
is get something to show off his butt.
~.^ He may as well be her pool boy.
But
besides being a boy toy I can also see
him being the counterpart to Puck.
Having a variety of emotions, being the
most animated, and in some cases being a
court jester (whether he intended to be
or not.) I gave him the mean look
because I don't really see any of
Titania's minions being a stereotypical
good fairy.
(
Ps.. yes.. those are flowers around the
top of the outfit, They are modeled
after the mustard plant flowers. )
