Jod Na Nawood costume redesign
This is a redesign of Jod Na Nawood from Star Wars Skeleton Crew. I did this as part of a CGMA class with Phil Boutte https://www.artstation.com/phillipbouttejr
I imagined the character taking a different path; after his Master was killed he was taken to be trained as an Inquisitor, who would adapt a lawless/bounty hunter look later on and would survive the empires fall. It was quite hard trying to balance imperial design with more pirate designs. I did heavily play with asymmetry since everything in the empire is usually super symmetrical - especially Inquisitor suits. Was super fun to imagine this character be more evil while deviating from the usual empire aesthetic.
Jod Na Nawood costume re-design
With the Inquisitor Helmet on
Back View. Shows how the layered cape attaches to only one side.
Character Sheet, Front and Back View and Helmet designs + alternate helmet color variations.
Original Ideation sketches. The final design is mainly based on number 4.
Refined costume design sketches and poses.
Face painting studies. (It was clear it would be Jude Law as it is him in the show)
Greyscale tests.
Some of my instant color tests. I did have a few more, trying to balance the empire and pirate aesthetic. I did decide on a simple navy blue kind of color (2) and a mismatched color set of the armor pieces (2).
