Birthe
Schön
During her studies at MSD Birthe was able to vastly broaden her creative horizons. She loved being able to get a taste of the different fields of design at MSD and took classes in most of the focus areas in addition to her main focus, illustration. She is usually inspired by “mundane“ everyday things and, most importantly, by the works of her fellow students. What she particularly enjoyed about her time at university was the creative exchange and collaboration with other students.
Feathers
a concept art project inspired by local bird species
What is your project about?
My bachelor project first and foremost is a character design project. I pretend that there is this game, Feathers, where the main character discovers and explores a secret world of human-like birds. After developing the story of the game, I designed and illustrated the characters for it.
What in particular motivated or inspired you for the project?
My mother is a huge bird nerd and she infected me a bit with that passion. But I've actually always loved to draw birds.
Were there any particular challenges that you overcame?
To be honest, my biggest challenge is usually myself. It's really important to set realistic goals and not get too frustrated if something doesn't work out straight away.
How could the project continue?
I really want to develop more characters inspired by other bird species! I already have some ideas too…
