Similar to the plan I made for the Scab Man comic, I have decided to design some characters for the Masque of the Red Death. I looked at fancy dress outfits on the internet to help me come up with ideas for the clothing, which I feel should be very ornate and over-the-top to match Poe's description of the masqueraders.
These are my ideas for ordinary background characters; I tried to vary the type of masks I will use to make the piece more interesting.
This is my first idea for the Red Death; I considered having it look like a corpse but I feel it doesn't fit with the story very well. Instead, I will use a corpse-like face/mask with a black ethereal shroud representing the body rather than a solid physical form.
This is my sketch for Prince Prospero. To make him stand out from the other characters I am planning to use bright red and other bright colours in his clothes to make him appear flamboyant and the centre of attention.
