Tidal Singer

Pearlescent fabric, a shell harp and translucent waves build soft layers around an ocean-inspired character.

Fantasy character · Transparent materials

01 · Example brief

An ocean display is the example brief: hair, fabric and waves form one flowing line, while the character, instrument and setting remain readable up close.

02 · Design discussion

Agree on wave transparency, pearlescent areas, harp proportions and coral placement. Rendered images guide discussion; physical finish needs sample confirmation.

03 · Factory assessment

Ask the factory to review clear casting, tinting, supports and joints, and explain practical limits for thin parts, strings and layered paint.

04 · Prototype checkpoints

Compare clarity, bubbles, edge thickness and pearl grain in a prototype, checking that hair and instrument do not collide.

05 · Production and inspection plan

Plan checks for scratches, paint contamination, damaged coral and assembly gaps. Compare color and sheen under agreed lighting.

06 · Packing and delivery plan

Protect the waves, figure and harp separately, keeping clear surfaces away from rough inserts. Confirm the parts checklist and assembly guidance before delivery.
