Featured Concept Art And Production Design Sketches Created For Mad Max: Fury Road

Featured concept art and production design sketches created for Mad Max: Fury Road

1.) A vision of the opening scenes where Max Rockatansky is ambushed and taken prisoner by a gang of War Boys as he is taken to The Citadel.

2.) A glimpse of the battle-ready War Rig rolling out of the Citadel and driven by Imperator Furiosa as she secretly smuggles the Five Wives hidden in the tanker's cargo hold.

3.) An early rendering of Coma the Doof Warrior whose job is to rouse Immortan Joe's army of War Boys by shredding industrial-strength rock music blasting from a massive wall of speakers attached aboard the Doof Wagon.

4.) A wide-angle view of Immortan Joe's war parties chasing Furiosa into the massive sandstorm containing deadly tornadoes and lightning.

5.) A drawing depicting the introduction of the Five Wives, namely: the Splendid Angharad, Capable, The Dag, Toast the Knowing, and Cheedo the Fragile. Note a major difference: in the initial production sketches, the Wives are seen without clothes while bathing after the sandstorm and even Furiosa is among them while just being topless. In the final cut of the film, we see that the Wives are covered in diaphanous white fabric even while hosing themselves down with water and removing their chastity belts and Furiosa is instead seen making repairs to the War Rig rather than joining the Wives during their cleansing session.

6.) A look at the passengers of the War Rig reacting to the violent onslaught brought upon them by Immortan Joe and his allies.

7.) An early design of Immortan Joe flanked by his loyal band of War Boys bathed in moonlight. The final look of Immortan Joe sees the antagonist sporting a full head of long white hair with his breathing apparatus simplified into that of a lower section of an animal skull covering his mouth. The War Boys seen in the film have also seen major changes from the original design concept; doing away with tribal tattoos, studded leather ensembles, and straggly strands of hair in favor of a look defined by distressed utilitarian pants and boots and shirtless upper bodies with their skin slathered in white paint/clay and sporting black grease around their eyes and foreheads, along with variations of grotesque body modifications.

Angharad (/əŋˈhɑrəd/; Welsh pronunciation: [aˈŋ̊arad]) is a Welsh name, having a long association with Welsh royalty, history, and myth. It translates to English as “much loved one”.

Continuing my series of Mad Max: Fury Road playlists, here’s another character-based one inspired by the beautiful and courageous leader of the Five Wives: the Splendid Angharad.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ *vigorous head shaking*

That is TOTES a Slit reaction >_<

Poor BB is afraid the Dag might bite him something fierce if he says something wrong to her face and Nux rolls his eyes so hard he’s basically all screaming to his BFF like OMFG DUDE SHE BIT ME THAT ONE TIME GET OVER IT SHE IS NOT GOING TO BITE YOU FUCK

But Slit be like “YEAH BUT THE FACT THAT SHE CAN BITE MEANS SHE IS SO NOT CHILL OKAY?!”

Nux is now at the point that whenever he sees his two friends in close proximity, he’s all like...

think about an au where the citadel annually celebrates the defeat of immortan joe via a massive neighborhood party and the citadel basically transforms into that memorable rave scene in the matrix reloaded where everyone just dances to the epic beats served by coma the doof warrior and his trusty backing drummers. think about nux and slit just losing themselves to the music and each other on the citadel grounds before sneaking out back to their chambers to fuck each others brains out.

Ug /lawd/

As a lover of literally every type of dance music and any type of dancing that goes along with said music, /this is sooooo greeeaaaaaat/

Praise the matrix reference, that was my favorite part of that movie (I’m pretty sure it was the second one?)

dyinghistoric I AM SCREAMING OMFG SEND HELP. >_<

adira-tyree wrote quite possibly the cutest mad max text post I’ve ever seen and I knew I had to draw it!

WHELP

I think we need our fandom comrades to drag us both together because I’m also DYING of this >_<

Speaking of that remix, this was the only legit one I could find of the song using the same visuals of the video. Not exactly containing the epic electric guitar riffs of Coma, but the aggressiveness of it along with the chopped-up vocals is close enough for me.

And now that I think about it... The co-ed group of beautiful and body-diverse hippies in the music video could probably be like the Citadel gang. Nux and Slit doing their nude dancing thing while the rest of the Wives are off to the side getting high on a particularly strong batch of weed prepared by the Dag.
