The middle of the sun disk in the center of the woman's mask is a slightly altered biohazard/mutagen symbol, an important reference to the plot. 5/7
Whatever the specific elements of the composition, I was very concerned that the color scheme have a dark, yet golden and summery quality to it. The little sketches represent my initial attempts at finding the right combination of colors to fit the mood I wanted. 6/7
