The first 2 file images seem to match the model pretty well from what I can tell without having a back image to go off of.

That would be acceptable.

Hopefully not too late, but I think these look just fine.
KUDOS on the square toe!

Yeah I could definitely give another eye to possibility of approval for certain vendors.

Have you thought of using those silicone pads that they have for braless wear? You could stick the sticky side to the inside of the armor and then have the silicone against your skin.

Mynock's Den is the majority dude that folks get their armor parts to assemble from, but I believe you have to source the soft parts.
-
Easiest route is Rob (MyWickedArmor) with some minor alterations for approval that can be found pinned under the Revan section.

There is no singular good boot, but as I was just conversing with another applicant, modified biker boots tend to work. Cut the strap from the ankle area and relocate to the toe area if it is long enough or get another strap of material and bam, square toed boots that meet requirements.

Apologies for delayed response! I would say the heel is a bit high, but if you can find a lower heel version and cut the straps/put the strap on the toe area, they will do just fine. These are regularly used in this style of boot given the squared toe.

amazing work so far! Do you have any specific concerns or questions?
This!

We wouldn't be able to start the CRL until we have someone submit the completed costume, but the references will still help when we get to that point.

Current LMOs say they're good with it being valid for 501st entry so long as the references are met! Given the HD quality in the game, things like fabric texture are expected to be matched vs older games, and small details are important! Just a heads up. I know JoEllen did a beautiful job pulling textures for Second Sister, so the capability is there.

Still up to the LMOs as final decision for if it is eligible or not.
If it just a mod or external option to play as Cal vs it being an actual part of gameplay it wouldn't necessarily be eligible.

No surprised as a Rob is a reasonable guy with all that.

I would second the gauze thing for her top if it is a tighter weave. Maybe not necessarily the skirt as it seems more structured.

Medical conditions (such as visual impairment) are not a disqualifying factor. With such, you build the costume to the limit of those conditions.
Your best bet is to create a WIP here so that other Mara members and our Costume Advisors can assist you along the way. It is a lot easier to fix some things in the build process than it is once the costume is done.

From what I have seen, the aviator cap is the annoying part because it varies depending on the version. Some have flat ear caps, some have puffy. Just have to make sure you line up the correct aviator cap version with the correct outfit, as they are not all interchangeable.
-
Looking great! I would say go a bit heavier on the weathering from the photos.

Issue with Inquisitors is that theme is about as generic as it gets. Blacks, reds, and uniforms are there, but style, components, and accessories are too different to create and sort of generic foundation. We have seen many Jedi (hundreds) over the years, but only a handful of, "templates" for types of outfits and color variations that fit over the different classes of Jedi roles. The inquisitors only have a small number of members that we have seen, and every single one has looked different with different parts. If you try and create a template for the different versions, all you are doing are creating a CRL for each named character, similar to what we have now.
The Inquisitors (unlike, say, the Acoytes), are not meant to be a generic role, but a highly specialized and unique class of, "soldier" under Vader, himself. -
I think the chest area is a bit less rounded and more straight across at the top. Also, the front and back line up perfectly at the bottom.
Just make sure you get the details in the armor correct, and watch out for the coloring. It is an aged bronze, not just straight bronze, which would be too shiny.
-
Honestly, I wouldn't worry about that texture too much. SWTOR isn't high res enough to validate most textures outside of, "matte", or "shiny" anyways. If this were like the Second Sister from the new game, I would say differently as that is damn near 4k quality, but all we're going to get is vague interpretations from SWTOR.
So, I would say just use a polyester or similar black fabric to get the smoother-yet-slightly shinier finish the majority of the screenshots show. I don't remember the name of it, but the polyester fabric I used for my regular Revan soft parts has that weird plastic fabric effect where it has the matte black but also a shinier and lighter color in light similar to what the game files do.
I know it was somewhere between a liner and a knit. Super soft to wear compared to other polyesters, but also super annoying to work with in that the edges fray a lot (which works in your favor for this costume).

Hello!
You should be able to post in the specific character section for a WIP before membership approval.
Only thing different that Detachment access gets you is CRL editing section and member section/programs.
-
Sure thing and looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Here is a Cricut pattern for the Visas gold parts. The maker said that the ends should overlap if done correctly.

Until they release more reference for her, she does not qualify for 501st addition.
