Hello!
Would anyone be interested in helping create a LH of Medea, the legendary princess-sorceress of Colchis, inspiration for countless plays, novels, ballets, operas, movies etc?
This is Maria Callas, starring in Pasolini’s 1969 film
Medea. I think the costuming is exquisite. But of course that’s where the challenge comes in. Any suggestions on how to go about this?
For the film, the fashion designers researched various folk and traditional dresses from the Mediterranean (Sardinia, Morocco, Tunisia) and Africa. They selected several different types of fabric, sewed them together, ‘bathed’ them in glue, and baked them in an oven to create a rigid ceremonial dress, which was then matched with gauze mantillas and filigree jewels (thank you interweb, I learned a lot today!)
While I~ we brainstorm solutions for the dress, here’s something gorgeous for the head and hair, downloaded and converted from Skyrim Nexus (Aela the Huntress mod). I thought this might be a good base for a young Medea.
Three meshes are included: the original, and two more in different degrees of decimation. Also, as Skyrim models often appear darker in Civ4, there was an attempt to lighten her hair and skin. Sorry, I’m still very new at this, but doing the best I can.
Finally, I can upload the ‘matching’ body if any use can be made of it
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions, help, or advice
