collecting ideas for Dragon

Dragon is the 3rd faction in The Secret World and they are described to be very mysterious, with no real clear motives nor does many of the members of the Dragon are clear what exactly are the real goal of the faction or what they stand for. They believe in the chaos theory, by intercepting and changing a small detail of an event can cause a revolution. Therefore unlike the Illuminati and Templar that fight out in the open, Dragon keep quiet and take advantage from the two factions when possible. They are faction based in Asia, but its said their base have been changed many times, and they do not have a fixed location for long. currently, their base is in Seoul.

Dragons are very secretive, hidden away from the world. Therefore they keep their base hidden and humble. The style of the faction is very Asian inspired. e.g Ninja styled clothing, hoods, jackets etc. which reflects the architecture of their base. These are all qualities i need to take into consideration when i start my designs. The color theme for the faction are earthy tones: Green, brown and gold.

I started collecting images that inspires me for the stealthy futuristic ninja aesthetic i am after:


  I want a body suit that hints the asian influenced aesthetic of a ninja warrior at the same time infused with hi-tech accents. Therefore i started pulling together some rough drafts.


For the Dragon models i will aim for an asian look, to compliment the essence of the faction.  I developed a draft version of the body suit look i am after (on the right). I added the scarf in to give the overall aesthetic a more interesting detail, and also to hint the ninja themed costume appearance.
