The Cadre: Character Development

I went through several costume designs for Bolt. This was the second version. The first incorporated a vest with pockets for carrying equipment.
I discarded the vest because looked to bulky. As I was fleshing out the character’s personality, the symmetrical design struck me as being a little too bland. Some of the elements from this design were kept in what would be the final version.
The design of the leg area and the ideal of short boots were incorporated in the final design. But I added an asymmetrical lightning bolt design to his chest. I also decided on a full body suit covering all of his skin was more appropriate.
