Early on I was exploring a variety of War Paint, Headdresses and Tattoo designs. This was set 2 of my first round of exploration.
I had the honor to work with Director Dan Trachtenberg and guidance from Producer Jhane Myer on these concept designs.
There were tons and tons of historical research images in the pot.
The challenge I faced with these concepts was to help create designs that looked super cool while also having 100% Comanche influence with the motifs, designs and patterns.
Ultimately to respect and preserve the historical Comanche culture and aesthetic in the film, from what I had the pleasure of seeing on Hulu, only Comanche details were utilized.
I had so much fun working on these!
