Russian Doll Character Lookbook
Excerpts from a character-specific lookbook* I created as a companion piece for the show’s pitch treatment.
While I am unable to show this book in its entirety, I can share a fun way I came up with introducing each character: because we knew one of the show’s themes would be fate, I create a personalized tarot card to represent each character. Moreover, because our characters would frequently experience sensations of nostalgia and disconcerting familiarity, I chose to create a “deck” inspired by a film almost every viewer was bound to have seen: the 1951 Disney classic, “Alice in Wonderland.”
All designs were created by Inga Headland (formerly Inga Brege) using found textures, paintings created by the artist, and stills from Alice in Wonderland (copyright 1951, Disney).
*Character lookbooks include tonal motifs depicting how a character will be portrayed visually as well as how they will function within a story. These documents also typically include casting suggestions.
Usage
This lookbook is private and the intellectual property of the project’s creators, myself, and a bunch of other entities with scary lawyers. Only a hand full of folks are authorized to distribute this lookbook (one of which is myself—Inga Headland—the designer), and I do so for portfolio review purposes only.
