Beastman armored Master of the Universe

Hello ,Family and friends …..posting more Beastman concepts from Masters of the Universe working early on closely with Directors Adam and Aaron Nee vision..here u will see how in depth we went in trying to figure out a Beastman that could fit in the budget needed cus he had a huge role in the film and it’s very very costly to have a full body practical fur suit as we all wanted to stay nuastalgic and build as much as we could practically to b shot on set.So @adamnee and @aaronnee had a great idea to give Beastman armor with his iconic color palette …at first I was hesitant but when giving it actual thought and started to sketch out ideas it grew on me and think it would of been awesome ….i referenced a lot of samurai armor and made it almost armadillo layers to have lots of movement to his action required stunts and the padding would help with that as well….u can see the breakdown of the process here…..I did do a pass of fur break so we could have that option as well to see what the design would b and costs….we worked with costume designer @annfoley and her team to help realize this great character and Ann had one of her graphic artist @maybellepineda break down his layers ,patterns,details to b able to pass onto vendors for the practical build ….u can also see here the makeup designer exploration on the balance to humanoid to beast details we considered so we can cater to the fans and also give production what they needed as well……Beastman is one of my most favorite characters in MOTU and it was a dream working on his exploration…..I have many sketches and more to post on him in time ….i want to always end my post with I loved what ended up in the Travis knight film and all the artists involved …beautiful work …much love and respect
