So Excited To Have Finished This - Blog Posts

Jekyll & Hyde Diorama

To celebrate the release of The Glass Scientists Volume 1 by @arythusa I finished a hidden diorama for my room.

Here it is as a whole. The base, frame, and staircase are pieces I reused from a mock-up scale model stage set for Jekyll & Hyde: The Gothic Musical Thriller that I could have done better if it hadn't been a school project.

More pictures and info below.

The door on the left was based on the scale of the original stage set, so let's just say it leads to a rather small storage space. A lot of the props are hand made except for the clock, microscope, lantern, and ink pen set on the desk. Regarding the exposed cardboard in the upper right corner, I accidentally glued the back wall upside down and I want to know if anyone thinks I should paint it to look like exposed stone or something.

For these silhouettes at the top, the left side is various Jekylls, while the right is Hydes. Starting from the middle are designs I quickly sketched out to represent the original book. Second we have the designs from the MazM mobile game adaptation. Third is The Glass Scientists. And last but not least is designs from the amazing S. K. Michels' animatics using songs from the musical.

Here's the file I made and traced so it's easier to see

I'll share more images and info later with closeups of the desk and table, where I'll also point out 4 special details/props that correlate with each Jekyll & Hyde paring.
