PREY: War Chief Kehetu early designs

These concepts of Chief Kehetu were early on in the design exploration phase. I had direction from Dan Trachtenberg and Jhane Myers for the war paint and created some ideas of my own.
Stephanie Porter was the Costume Designer and she provided research and relayed direction for the garments and warbonnet.
The pattern graphics and color palette were provided as the wide curve shapes are very "Comanche." I had to figure out how that could aesthetically work on the leather strips on his shoulders, sleeves and moccasins.
Petroglyphs on the warshirt represents Kehetu's leadership on a majestic buffalo hunt.
