Bomb Threat's design development with early concept sketches. These were rough passes to flesh out and explore the character.

Early Silhouette sketches
Color Scheme Exploration
Back Panel sketches
Mask Variations "Mismatched" I figured BT's gear would be very put together so that's the approach for this one
Mask Variations "Paintball + Airsoft + BMX". The idea of the BMX was because I really love the geometry and silhouettes of BMX helmets that I tried to incorporate it as a mask.
