Khushi Nashine Explores Visual Development in The Final Act of Lottie Bleu

publication · 2026-10-01

Khushi Nashine, an alumna of Whistling Woods International, where she specialized in Animation with an emphasis on Previsualisation, has cultivated a visual development practice rooted in her personal storytelling. Her approach begins by analyzing a character's traits, actions, and nonverbal cues, which subsequently shape the scenes. She views visual development as a convergence of narrative and visual inquiry, allowing her to continuously explore the story through her characters. Among her projects are atmosphere and color studies for The Final Act of Lottie Bleu. The Hollow Circus captures the unsettling ambiance of Lottie Bleu's tragic tale, while Lottie's Vanity serves as an introductory color key showcasing Lottie at her circus vanity. Bedtime Visitor is a character-driven illustration that delves into color, lighting, and the resulting mood. This feature is included in the Print Edition of Issue 72, with a subscription link available.
