Nezhdanov Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 Looks good! Might be a bit light in colour and a little short in length as it’s quite a long weapon in the show, about floor to chest height in length. Other than those minor points that though, it’s a good gaffi [emoji4]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Spadille Posted August 20, 2024 Author Posted August 20, 2024 (edited) I got motivated to finish reconstructing my shawl which then turned into finishing the belt and making the obi, which then turned into making the pants and also finishing up the arm wraps. Then at that point I was done with the making part and then decided to start with the finishing. Long story short, I had to ride the motivation train for as long as I could before I lost it. Anyways, here’s where I am at currently, I know she’s not perfect, but I’m happy with her! Edited August 20, 2024 by Spadille 1 Quote
Nezhdanov Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 You’ve done a great job recreating a difficult costume that has lots of intricate details! Your wip will definitely help others [emoji4]My only suggestion would be just to break up the weathering on the forehead a little and maybe to tone the ‘stripe’ weathering down a little as it’s quite bold. Really small things though.This image is a bit dull so I’ve included a display reference which is more brightly lit.It could be the lighting in your photo though so is just a suggestion [emoji4]I hope all goes well with your submission when you are happy and ready for that part and look forward to seeing your trooping photos!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Spadille Posted August 20, 2024 Author Posted August 20, 2024 As always, great feedback! I have addressed these concerns and toned these areas down with a touch of darker colors 1 Quote
M.J. Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Well done Rachel, I concur with Nezhdanov. We are very thankful you've provided us with your work in progress thread. 1 Quote
Spadille Posted August 25, 2024 Author Posted August 25, 2024 Was able to do a test wear at a local con before approval to make sure everything held up and fit okay, she was well received by my fellow costumers and I was able to wear her for 3 hours. Definitely a success! Only left with some small tweaks for longevity improvements, getting closer to the finish line. Quote
Nezhdanov Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 That sounds like a very successful test run! I’ve had to make alterations to our 3 Tuskens as there’s stuff you find out after many troops you couldn’t have known when building.Glad you were well received, rightly so as it’s it’s a striking costume anyway and you’ve created a great version!All the best for clearance when it’s time for that[emoji4]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
