Miss Masque

Another redesigned. This one done for the "Remake/Remodel" challenge thread on Warren Ellis' old forum The Engine. Warren would through out old Pulp characters for the forumites to reinvision. This was my take on a female Shadow ripoff called Miss Masque.
I ditched the domino mask first thing in the design and then struggled to find a type of mask not already used in comics. I decided that the traditional Day of the Dead Calavera mask was a perfect choice. This one has night-vision goggles, btw. The jacket is inspired by a Ralph Lauren pea coat. See, formal fashion meets street wars. New Pulp.

Check out the esteemed Mr Ryan Kelly's excellent redesign from the thread here.
