Flashback AHS : Découvrez les premiers concepts des costumes d'Apocalypse.

Cette semaine dans le flashback AHS, nous revenons sur les premiers concepts des costumes d’Apocalypse et plus précisément ceux que les personnages portent quand ils sont à l’extérieur.

Rappelez-vous dans le premier épisode, Mrs Mead (Kathy Bates), Michael Langdon (Cody Fern) ou encore Emily (Ash Santos) et Timothy (Kyle Allen) sont vêtus d’une sorte de long manteau noir accompagné d’un masque avant d’entrer dans l’Outpost 3.
Xander Smith est le concept artiste qui a travaillé étroitement avec la costumière d’American Horror Story, Lou Eyrich, pour ces pièces vestimentaires. Par chance, il a posté sur son compte Instagram les différentes idées qu’il a posées sur papier avant d’arriver au résultat vu à l’écran.
Grâce aux légendes de ses posts, on apprend ainsi qu’il s’est inspiré des costumes portés par les médecins de peste (docteurs spécialisés dans le traitement de cette maladie) du XVIIème et XVIIIème siècle.

Comme on peut le voir ci-dessous, les costumes et masques sont passés par différentes formes (combinaison, blouse, manteau) et couleurs (blanc, kaki,…).

#fbx Costume sketches for American Horror Story: Apocalypse I worked on with Costume Designer Lou Eyrich, we did a ton of exploration to find right feeling for the future plague doctor suit and mask, and then I 3D modeled the design for 3D Printing. #3Dprinting #americanhorrorstory #ahsapocalypse #ryanmurphy #costumeillustration #horror #television #conceptartist

Last sketch of the plague doctor costume design from American Horror Story: Apocalypse— this is where we started experimenting with the idea maintaining the iconic plague doctor mask but with modern materials akin to a biohazard suit. You can see the progression here, working with a mad genius costume designer like @loueyrich you know the design phase is going to take so many twists and turns. #costumedesign #conceptart #costume #mask #biohazard #apocalypse #horror #americanhorrorstory #ahs #digitalart #sketching

American Horror Story: Apocalypse costume sketches, these were done very early on but you can see how the look developed into the plague doctor design. Always a career highlight to work with Costume Designer @loueyrich on AHS. #costumedesigner #costumeillustration #conceptart #sketch #horror #americanhorrorstory #fx #ahs #apocalypse

It wouldn’t be Halloween without American Horror Story. This was a cinematic frame I did with Costume Designer Lou Eyrich @loueyrich to visualize Kathy Bates inside our neo-plague doctor mask. I built the mask in 3D for the illustration and also used it to 3D print the final prop with the studio Parker Props. #americanhorrorstory #cinema #ahs #ahsapocalypse #kathybates #costumedesign #illustration #halloween #horror

It’s that time of year again, thought I’d start dropping some of the costume illustrations I worked on with the one-and-only Costume Designer @loueyrich for American Horror Story: Apocalypse. We designed the plague doctor suit and I built the mask in 3D and was 3D printed by Parker Props. Looks awesome on-screen, I know that transparent material is very hard to pull off but I love the constant dichotomy of opaque mystery and quick moody reveals of the actors faces. As always it was a blast and a terribly fun challenge. #americanhorrorstory #costumedesign #illustration #horror #halloween #costumesketch #costume #conceptart #fx #3D
