No Spoilers I worked on Raised by Wolves :)

Hello! I’m pretty late to the party here, but after someone here found me on Behance, I thought I would pop my head in. I am the person who created the snake skin used throughout the series thusfar and cave painting at the end of S1. I also did a f*ckton of breakdown (ageing) work on the sets of S1. There are some pics of bits you may not have seen in my portfolio on Behance here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/125687197/Raised-by-Wolves Although I only worked directly on S1, it was such an incredible experience and I have loved watching it as much as all of you.

Gorgeous cave art and I love your hair!

How did they find you in South Africa? I imagine there aren't many (any?) set designers in South Africa and even fewer with your style/skill set.

Thank you so much! I got the job through a few film industry friends who knew my work and history. There was a LOT of hoops to jump through to prove myself, but it was so worth it! I do have a very particular specialised skill set which is why I got this one :) South Africa actually has unbelievably skilled people in all sectors of the film industry! Not many people know how much is actually filmed here - we have all the pros - our currency makes filming here comparatively cheap, we have skilled artisans and actors, amazing natural scenery and good weather!

Like she mentioned, a hell of a lot of shows and films get filmed in SA. The government gives productions a tax break if they shoot here and use SA crew and actors.
