Concept Art Sketches

These are some sketches I did of the most prominent characters in my film. This helped me develop a further understanding of what I wanted to achieve in terms of costume and general appearance.

Neith's appearance is predominately inspired by Lara Croft. The classic female action figure was always something that I planned to look at within a female character. Since the Lara Croft Films the torn tank top, combat trousers and boots and become an iconic appearance for female character in certain settings. I also considered Furiosa as an inspiration, and some of this comes through more so in her persona than her appearance.

Prophet's costume is mostly inspired by the Hunger Games combat suits. The ideal, all round clothing for action; flexible yet tough. His appearance however is my own concoction of what in my mind a perfect male human would look like. I had to compromise because of casting limitations, but for me the physique was more important than the facial details.

The bandit characters in the film are inspired by various characters from mad max. The make-shift style of clothing, that completely resonates madness was absolutely perfect for this role. I visualised them smaller than Profit, partially because of the idea of malnourished, but also to truly emphasis the size of Prophet as a human.
