This is my vision of a woman of the Fremen, the native human inhabitants of the desert plant Arrakis in Frank Herbert’s classic Dune novels. They wear special suits called “stillsuits” which are designed to conserve and recycle as much moisture from their bodies as possible, and their eyes are all blue as a side-effect from consuming large quantities of the local spice melange. When designing my take on a Fremen woman, I wanted to channel a mixture of Islamic, African, and Aboriginal Australian vibes, which I felt best suited their planet’s desert climate.
