Description
HELLO, THIS WAS MY WEEKEND.
I've been wanting to design each assassin’s mask for a while now, inspired by a mix of the wearable sculptures of Rein Vollenga and planetary symbols.
The symbols were actually the hardest part of the whole process and took me several months to solidify SOB. When I finally figured all of them out, I kinda went crazy with these bust shots.
In order:
Sun - Kajur, Mercury - Kye, Venus - Hiu, Moon - Chandra, Mars - Kou, Jupiter - Marduk, Saturn - Shani, Uranus - Yozu, Neptune - Sei’zin, Pluto - Yama.
Kajur doesn't have a mask since she’s the head of the Solaris organization and doesn't do assassinations. The rest are all in order of her favoritism.
More of this project can be found here
And you can also check out close-ups on tumblr !
sailor moon references are welcome. i see u all.

Wow. WOW. These are... AWESOME. You really hit it with Yozu and Sei'zin. They're so simple and memorable and effective. And Kajur's look is.. perfect for her! I immediately understand her personality just by looking at her. She is fantastic. So the name of this project comes from this assassin group, which is called Solaris?

Ahh, thank you so much! I'm stoked with how many people like Yozu and Sei, was busy worrying they were too simple haha
But yep, the story is named after this group, since they're the main antagonists throughout the story

Simplicity in character design is the hardest and most effective thing! I would keep aiming for simple and memorable with every design.

I don't think I could possibly express how amazing this is. And the details and differences between their masks - wow. Just, wow. The golden glow coupled with the darkness really sells the assassin theme in my mind. Nice work!

Oh dude, thank you so much! So happy they read well as assassins, I was worried the glows would make them look all un-stealthy

Each one is different and easy to recognize!
Poor Uranus. I bet she's the "butt" of some jokes.

Wow! I'm wordless. This is absolutely awesome. Please, please, make a comic of this, please. Each character seem so unique and stunning, I'd like to get to know each of them, and as far as I've read the road to that would be full of action.
Again, amazing. Congrats!

SCREAMING MASKS AND SYMBOLS -swoons-
I won't lie though I didn't even recognize Kye b/c when I glanced over her I thought the bit going up and around her ear was a sideburn -curls up into ball of defeat-

Seems like there's an interesting story behind Pluto.
He's the only one not smiling.
Also my favorite is Jupiter's design.

Hmm, maybe I did a bad job of illustrating it, but only the leader (the sun) is smiling
Yama does have an interesting story though! Being the least favorite isn't easy haha
Glad you like Jupiter!
