The Night Circus
The following collection features conceptual work for an animated adaption of Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus. The Night Circus is a phantasmic fairytale about a magical traveling night circus named "Le Cirque des Reves" set in Victorian era London. The story follows a rivalry between two powerful magicians and the love affair of their young proteges who are forced to compete against each other in a deadly magical competition.
Two character sheets of Celia and Marco depict the look, outfits, and personality of the main characters. Also featured are two background designs, "The Ice Garden" and "Opening Night" depicting specific scenes and environments of the novel. "The Ice Garden" depicts Celia and Marco's favorite tent, a garden made entirely of ice conjured by Marco. "Opening Night" depicts the very first scene of the novel, capturing the magic of the very first night of "Le Cirque des Reves".
