JEDI: Fallen Order Merrin Robed

Spoiler alert!

Merrin is the witch of Dathomir and is introduced as a powerful foe to be reckoned with. She can use 'magik' and has the ability to raise the dead night sisters. We wanted her identity to have two stages. The robed stage for her introduction on Dathomir and a second version with less garments when she joins the crew.

We wanted her to be robed and only partially revealed in order to create mystery. Like Cal, she has lived many years in isolation and this is reflected in her recessed and layered hood. The long robes looked cool but in order to accommodate the cloth simulation and rig, we shortened the lengthy fabric and replaced the long sleeves for tight fitting sleeves,

Since this character's color palette is predominantly red and black, I played with materials like silk and leathers, rigid shoulder pads, a long vertical red stripe that leads the eye to an iconic brass circle anchored to a large leather belt.
