    Nihilus WIP

    MWA also makes his own gloves and saber hilt but they aren't very good. I got them and had to replace them for approval.

     

    Motor cycle gloves will not work for approval. The gauntlet glove description above fits the reqs for approval. It'd be better if you can try them on first since they need to fit well but sometimes you have to buy them online. Mine were from a leather crafter on eBay.

     

    A good Nihilus saber can be custom made by Iggy from the Fx-sabers forums just send him a message.

    First off, Tiedoll, most excellent TKID. Great minds think alike! ~_^

     

    I was reading some great reviews of Wicked Armor's Nihilus build and was looking into using it as my jumping off point as well. From what I've seen of yours, DarthSinistrous, it looks pretty good so far! I was curious if your inner skirt was attached to the inner tunic, or did you have to attach it together yourself? 

     

    Ah thank you 64 :D

     

    The inner skirt of MWA's Nihilus is sewn into the outer skirt at the belt loop. Just weave a good belt through it and you can wear the whole set of skirts in one go. You also get a ribbed long sleeved tunic closed at the front with velcro, and you wear 2 sleeveless tunics on top of the ribbed tunic. Tunics are closed with a belt obi tied at the lower back, then a leather Nihilus belt on top of the obi.

    Black Body suits?

    If you ever need to take restroom breaks then get a suit that will allow you to do so. I only have an undersuit for my FO TK. For Nihilus I have a long sleeve Under Armour used in football so it has a very small neck collar. Pants are black compression pants for hot days or black martial arts pants for windy days. I usually wear black martial arts pants anyways mainly because mine are rough and worn out from use. There no CRL requirements for these listed so I can understand the confusion.

    Looks like COTF Nihilus from MWA. The inner and outer dress have a split that should open midline between your legs in front. The way it's worn for the photo it looks a bit skewed to your right. If it's hard to walk without tripping I would shorten the dress at the waist to preserve the weathering at the bottom.

     

    Your GML will want close up photos of your gloves to make sure they fit correctly. I had to buy new gloves because the ones that came with mine were huge.

    Since this is for KOTOR 2 Nihilus it'll be a bit more difficult for them to make that argument about CRL pictures because some of the images for that CRLs from both our website and the 501st website haven't been completed yet, including the one you want for the cowl and cowl triangles. You only have this one image of a member's costume to go off of.

    It also says in the description of the cowl that there needs to be a structure under the hood that helps create a square shaped head from a back view. I don't know if you had one under the cowl or not but from the pictures it looks like the top of your cowl needs to be shaped the correct way. This can be done with a layer of foam as well, it doesn't have to be plastic.

     

    This is SL-2272 from an old photo shoot. He did an amazing job on his KOTOR Nihilus. Hope he doesn't mind me mentioning him.

    Just to make sure. Can we see your gloves worn with a full shot of your arm? They'll need to verify that with the approval photos as well.

     

    Also verify with your seller that your belt was ordered several sizes larger than you're used to since Nihilus has 4+ bunched layers around the waist. Those belts are expensive and you don't want to get them in the wrong size.

    Anytime ✌️

    The more thorough your initial application is the quicker your approval will be.

    Not sure if those above are good enuf?

    Looks good but also need pics of you in costume with arms out (front, left, right, and back views). And of course they want you to send one without your mask on but in full costume as well.

    All the photos on my first post over on my thread are my submission pics. Include front and side views of your boots as well.

     

    It doesn't have to be poolside but it must have good lighting outdoors and include close-up detail shots of fabric for gloves, tunics (showing you have 2 of them), skirts (showing you have 2 of them), boots (showing they are plain), sleeves (showing they have a ridged pattern), detail on weathering, and your masks.

    Nice fit! The only adjustment I would make is to get an Under Armour or similar fabric balaclava to cover up the neck and your cheeks as they often peek out of the mask.

     

    Another would be if the skirts are difficult to walk with you can fold the belt loop and sew it over again to make walking easier. People tend to step on my beautiful dress.

    the saber is pure evil... I was blown away by the beauty and details simply looking at the photos... And its ready to ship to my home

    Almost blinded myself the first time I turned one on from Iggy. That's a crazy powerful light inside.

    Nice! He makes a quality hilt. Looks similar to mine but mine is just slightly different from the art.
