The long formal coat is a common costume of sci-fi characters. We took inspiration, specifically, from the character Neo in The Matrix, as shown below.
We used silver tape in order to cover the brand label of the armour. Also we chose silver as it is a common sci-fi, futuristic colour.
We took inspiration for the idea of a mask to cover a disfigured face from the character of Darth Vader from the Starwars films, who is forced to wear the mask shown to the left, as well as a full suit, due to his disfigured face and body. We used this as a means of covering the Henchman's scarred face (as shown in the previous 'Henchman - Makeup' blog post).
The fact that the mask has no face shows is frightening for the audience and makes the Henchman seem almost robotic and unstoppable. Also the chrome is, again, futuristic and commonly used throughout the sci-fi genre.
