Wednesday.
This was a concept study of the character type Civil Protection/MetroCop. It is only the beginning of the study and much further investigation is required.
The feel of the metro cop is oppressive-urban. Jut looking at the standard gas mask reveals alot about the character. Just the fact of it being a gas mask makes it cliche-ly oppressive. But there is more to it than that. The shape (that I will discuss in more detail late)r is rich in character. The sharp lines in the gas mask give it a urban feel. This is most likely because of the sharp corners buildings have and the urban architecture always has.
There's 2 gas mask canisters. This is extremely weird for me as i was always told to make things come in odd numbers to add to interest. Maybe this was some small flaw in the character? I prefer to think that they did this intentional. In order to give this more of a conformist feel they apparently broke the odd rule. This creative rule brekaing gives the MetroCop a boring appeal. Almost faceless.
