Father Valley Costume Design
Costume Design I did during a course with Phil Boutte (special Thanks!)

This one is a live action costume design for Father Valley which is a comic book character from DC comics and usually a Catwoman villain. I tried to keep it accurate to his comic book look (to a degree where he wouldn't look silly and still stand out). I think he would fit quite well in the Robert Pattinson Batman universe from his overall aesthetic. I am really happy with the result and learned so much during the CGMA class! :)
Coat open with vest underneath
No coat, just a vest to provide more movement.
Closed coat. Can easily open with snap buttons to access any weapons that might be kept underneath.
Line up of all variations and layers of clothing.
Original Thumbnail Idea Sketches and Iterations
Refined Ideas + Posing
Face Studies for Actors (I did go with Benicio del Toro)
First Grayscale test.
A few of my color tests. Did try other color palettes as well, though these had the most significance for the character or worked the best. I did look at a lot of cardinal and religious clothing to represent his character.
