It’s always interesting to see how a characters look will change between the initial concept art and what makes it onto the screen. Some designs see drastic changes while others remain as the artist envisioned.
In a recent update to his blog, concept artist Joshua James Shaw, who previously worked on Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past revealed several pieces from this years hit, Deadpool. One of the most interesting pieces of art he revealed were the preliminary designs for Brianna Hildebrands Negasonic Teenage Warhead which you can see below:
He also had concept art for the fight between Colossus and Angel Dust:
Speaking of the designs Shaw explained:
“It turns out I was going overboard with the goth look for NTW and Tim wanted us to do a pass of her in a suit close to what Josh Middleton designed for his New Mutant covers, Then the costume department would put together something over the suit to give her the goth look. I’ve learned over the years that some directors care about the source material, and you can guess which ones don’t. Fun Fact: Tim goes to the comic store just about every week and leaves with a PILE of comics!”
