Shanie Liao
Illustrator
A series of illustrations inspired by memorable nightmares I had when I was young.
I worked to capture both the whimsical innocence and wonder of a child, as well as the unsettling feeling of danger.
Wicked Redesign (2019)
A redesign of the play 'Wicked', set in a steampunk dystopian world where Elphaba is a skilled mechanic and inventor rather than a wizard.
Frankenstein Redesign (2019)
A redesign of the book 'Frankenstein', set in Japan and portrays Frankenstein's monster as a human boy.
This project was focused on the usage of color to tell a story.
Three Kingdoms Concept Book (2018)
A class project where I was given an opportunity to work on world building and designs.
As the project progressed alongside the class, I incorporated the skills and topics from class to focus on sketching and constructing shapes and forms related to animals and weaponry.
