Here are the original sketches and computer application of costume ideas for one of our characters (the lady wearing the gas mask).
A character background with details on casting should follow shortly.
Often antagonists are masked or disguised in thrillers. Famous examples of this include Mike Myers from Halloween, the killer from Scream and Jason from Friday 13th. So primarily we thought it would be a good idea to follow this thriller convention as we wanted this character to be heavily ladden with mystery. The particular use of a gas mask was chosen as a result of our fondness of it and also we were inspired by the use of it in The Book of Eli. The military boots and jacket added to the characters sophistication and perhaps organisation. These features could easily be apart of a villains personality; they think out plans well, are intelligent and therefore are very dangerous.
It would be worth linking these to existing thrillers which may have influenced you.
