Blue Beetle concept artist talks Carapax.
Summary Blue Beetle concept artist Mike Uwandi explains the inspiration for Carapax's suit design, including how they made it a mirror to Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle suit. Carapax is one of the major antagonists in Blue Beetle, working as the right hand of Victoria Kord. He acts as her muscle, constantly fighting Blue Beetle, often nearly to the death. Once they gain the power of the Scarab, Carapax gets his own suit that, like Blue Beetle's, reacts to him and his needs.
Mike Uwandi: We were using a lot of metaphors when it comes to a lot of these characters and Carapax specifically, we looked at the comic and we're like, "That's cool and all, but that translation might be weird." So we were like, "All right, you know what? Let's take the essence of what Carapax is." And one of the big things was recognizing stuff like architecture and saying, "Well, there's brutalist design.
Phil Boutte: I want to add into what Mike was saying too. There was one note specifically from Angel that was really important for us. That was, his note, even if it didn't translate or if they didn't say it was that Carapax has to draw energy from outside of his body to fire it out, but Jaime's energy comes from the scarab and comes from within. That was the juxtaposition, so visually we tried to expand on that.
