Costume Illustrations from 'Catching Fire'

 

Frocktalk recently spoke with Phillip Boutte, a costume illustrator who worked with costume designer Trish Summerville on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Boutte took Summerville's costume designs and used a hybrid of different mediums (hand drawing, photoshop, Corel painter and ZBrush) to make a rendering of the costume designs:

I can take a fitting photo of something and make it look the way it’s supposed to look.  Through photo manipulation and painting, I’ll do my sketch in the computer – I’ll directly sketch into the computer instead of using a pencil – and then I’ll start to fill in actors’ faces, block in big shapes, block in a basic silhouette and start to draw, based on the specifications of what the designer has given me.  From that point, you can make things look a lot more real.

Boutte didn't give us any new information about Catching Fire, but he did provide a look at some of the costumes. And they are all labeled by scene so we can see how they correspond to the Catching Fire movie stills and screencaps from the trailer.  You can read the full article HERE.

These costume illustrations from Catching Fire are absolutely incredible! It’s amazing to see how much thought and detail went into each character’s look.
