Claire Hummel

Claire Hummel (Better known as Shoomlah) is an artist who presently works for Microsoft Game Studios Publishing, originating from Los Angeles, California, you might know her better for her Historically Accurate Disney Princess series. Aside from being an incredibly talented artist, Claire also has some skills in costume and prop making.





In terms of character designing, Claire puts so much thought and research into them as compared to most concept artists (Such as me, though I hope to change that in time…), aside from focusing on historically accurate yet creative costume designs, she also does numerous studies for their faces, hairstyles, and even their body postures, to see what best suits their written personality and properly distinguish them from one another, instead of simply giving them a a pretty face and body (Another issue of mine).

What more can I say? Claire is one of the best concept artists out there at the moment, I hope to break out of the fan-service-pin-up style for my concepts and create designs as unique and distinct as hers.
