MoodBoard Thursday



To get the right attitude for Mara I looked at games and characters who presented themselves as confident/cocky, yet charming at the same time. I felt like Dante is a great example of this and i think a female counterpart with a similar personality to his would be very likable and entertaining. The girl with the dragon tattoo is also great reference to physically present her edgy look which is also very magnetizing to look at. Jack from mass effect echoes the edgy appearance I am targeting for this character and even her costume is a great reference. The pose and attitudes of the lineup the top all reflect in a certain way the personality of being badass and independent. I like punk color scheme of pinks and blues combines with black and white, to reflect Mara's mischevious and chaotic nature while also highlighting her edgy theme.  
The design for Cypress i think would be heavily influenced by x-23 as they have extremely similar backstories. However i think that what would make Cypress stand apart from this character trope is her snarky and pessimistic nature which i think could come across as both entertaining and interesting. Cypress would be confident like Mass Effects Miranda, while having an oblivious innocence from being sheltered from the outside world only knowing the inside of Synthesis Labs. Her attire would reflect the futuristic theme, and look ergonomic and uniform. Her design will have the commercial colors of  the Synthesis corporation, however her raven hair color will contrast this and highlight her gloomy personality quite strong.
