Kylo Ren was probably the hardest character to conquer. Throughout the years there have been so many superheroes created. It is difficult to come up with a design that doesn’t, in some way, feel derivative. My team and I worked very closely with JJ trying to find a way to show Kylo’s admiration of Darth Vader; emulating without imitating. JJ also wanted the mask to have a quality that, perhaps on a billboard would be ‘wondrous’ to a child. We liked the reflective curving lines on the mask; they feel very 1970’s, the decade during which, all this began.
All of Kylo’s garments have strong textures for interest. The hood fabric has a foiled finish for sheen; because he’s in all shades of black, I was worried about losing definition in dark lighting situations. His sleeves were made of heavy canvas, which was dyed and intentionally unevenly pleated, then waxed. I love the resulting patina.

No one is without worth. Whoever you are, whatever your mistakes, you are loved. Unconditionally. In your heart shall burn an unquenchable flame.
Do you think the servants here are happier then the people living under the Qun in Par Vollen? It doesn’t matter if they are happy, it matters that they may choose! Choose? Choose what? Whether to do their work or get tossed onto the street to starve? Yes! If a Ferelden servant decides that his life goal is to… become a poet, he can follow that dream! It may be difficult, and he might fail. But the whole of society is not aligned to oppose him!
The city’s feeding on itself now, liars and merchants and nobles like maggots on a carcass. Soon there’ll be nothing left for the rats. It’s just as well.
