Kaidesh Forrester - The Interlude

The Interlude

A narrative where my superhero alter ego battles the silent challenges of unreciprocated positivity, echoing the subtle nuances of real-life emotions and personal struggles

What I Did: Storyboarding, Character Design, Illustration, and Animation

What I Used: Crowquill Nib + India Ink, Photoshop, Procreate, and PowerPoint

Per the project, we were tasked to draw ourselves as superheroes in our most favored idealized lives with any powers we wished. I... taking this WAY too seriously, chose to focus on a personality trait I am often praised for having and revealed a darker side of it. In "The Interlude," my superpower was helping people gain confidence in themselves and their creative pursuits to stay true to my core values. I am very passionate about making sure people feel heard and acknowledged, especially as a creative, so I always try to spread that positivity; however, it can often not radiate back — that's what I wanted to illustrate. A bit... depressing? But also compelling, eh? ,' :^)
