"This is an alternate concept design I did on the film of the former Black Panther, T’Chaka!," Park said on Instagram. "I HAD to do a version w/his classic cape look from the comics."

"Here’s the T’Chaka sans helmet concept design I did for #BlackPanther," Park said, "I didn’t even realize that @atandwakani was the real-life son of the older T’Chaka actor John Kani. Very cool! This was a fun character to design."
Here's what Black Panther looked like back when Jack Kirby first designed him. Notice the dramaic cape.

"This is the approved concept design that I did of the former Black Panther, the king of Wakanda, T’Chaka!" Park added. "What an honor it was to get to do this design! I didn’t get to work on this film beyond this character since I was busy leading Marvel Studios’ Visual Development department on Thor: Ragnarok at the time. But a big thanks to [Ryan Meinerding] who was leading Black Panther at the time & he asked me to help out and do some versions of this character. I was more than happy to oblige. Ryan Coogler, the director, wanted us to try putting some clothing on him so I did a lot of research on African wraps, tunics & pants that can go along with the Black Panther look I was going for. [Rodney Fuentebella] designed a kind of tunic that the director liked so I incorporated that into the top part of his clothing. I was trying to come up with a design that was still high tech but less so than T’Challa’s Civil War look- thus the visible tactical vest. This was so much fun!
