Short Update on "Servant of Two Masters"

Color is a huge factor for me in my design process. I can read the show, I can do the research, and I can get a general idea of what I want the characters to look like- but I need the color scheme to actually make progress.

For my current show, Servant of Two Masters, the director has set the time line (we're in 1952) and has set the way the show will go (think live TV set), but the set designer has the say so with color scheme. The director wanted vibrant and kitschy, think the Adams Family TV set in color (even though it was filmed in black and white). I for one am super excited, but I've been postponing sketching until I have the approved set colors. I have spoken with the director on characters and the generalizations for them, but I've only made lists and notes on what I think I'd like them to look like. Once I have the set colors I can figure out which characters are in which scenes with those different color schemes on set. Then I'll sketch some rough designs, discuss them with the director, make edits, and finalize them.

I plan on posting my rough sketches and the final ones to illustrate the process I go through with creating costumes for a show. I should have set colors by the end of the month and auditions for the show are towards the end of August. I'm hoping to have rough sketches in about 2 weeks and final ideas before auditions.This will mean that once we have the cast then I can start pulling pieces and seeing what actually needs constructed.

Mood Board for Writing Characters

The Dire Circle - " The circle is dire, much like the outcomes of these stories. In this black zodiac themed anthology, you may come to dislike other people...maybe even yourself."   When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked. But, once it did and I was given a Black Zodiac to then develop my short story, I decided to do what I do for costuming a character - I made a mood board for my main character.  My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the...

Malotke Writes - Updated Website

Guess who got new headshots done? Me! I've been continuing to submit various written pieces (poems, drabbles, flash fiction, short stories, etc.) and have been needing headshots for some of the submissions. Since I have been using my photo from senior year of college (shot for the fashion show program) I had decided that maybe it was time for some new, and way more recent, photos.  Pictured left is one of my favorite photos from the photography session. I've already updated my website using a bunch of the photos and I've sent them off for social media / marketing for upcoming interviews & anthologies that I'm included in.  Here is a link to my writing website: Malotke Writes
