Maya concepts, The Metamorph
Different Maya concepts, The Metamorph. Originally Maya was to be a black woman (Teresa Graves was approached), and these concepts seem to date from that period. Jewellery chains worn over the head are traditional in African and Asian costume. The top left head looks similar to the Overseer costumes used in the episode.
Designs by Emma Porteous for Maya (here "Alien") in The Metamorph. The butterfly design with cape may also show Maya as a black woman. The dress on the right is annotated: "Grey sheath dress of grey sequins - based on transparent net - re-embroidered with grey sequins - trimmed with grey ostrich feathers"

An alien solider in knight's armour. Possibly this is an early design for Thaed, the guard monster in A Matter of Balance. The original script description of Thaed was a monster with horns and crab claws. Keith Wilson wanted to do a alien soldier with a uniform. The Thaed on screen does wear a uniform, and has spikes (horns) like this design, but with the Beta Cloud creature head added.
