That'll do just fine!

Woohoo! Excited to see how this comes out.
I will say, definitely go with a more varied sleeve pleat than the red kylo pictured if that is the method you plan to use, and definitely a darker, more rich red.

You can post a new thread here with pictures of the references and the hilt and we can get your questions answered

So, we can set them up as, "Doctor Aphra: Darth Vader Comic Edition" and, "Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra" as her standalone version since they expand on her name in the standalone comic. Both can have the jacket as an option, alone with the aviator cap, goggles, and for the one you're doing (Vader edition), it can also list the zipper you mentioned with the vest.I agree that at least 2 CRLs are needed for Aphra. (3 if you take into account the black/red jacket variation.) There's too much different between how Walker draws Aphra (solo book) and how Larroca does (Vader). I think that for this one/the Vader one, we can build the sleeve length and jacket into the CRL as optional since it's much closer to be the same outfit than the Walker/solo book one.
Both with have black hair color with a range between shoulder and chest length, with both including the, "loose, side-swept bangs".
For the tattoos, several drawn versions can be shown for reference like what Dawn did, and mention that,"something similar" be needed.
How's that sound?

Her pants look exactly like Han's in the comics (ok her entire outfit does).
On that, I would definitely not say that are denim and some the same fabric style as Han IRL but with a more fitted look made from a stretch fabric in the same dark or navy blue the RL call for in the CRL.
The hair length can be listed to be in the range of what the comics cover, from what I can tell to be between shoulder and chest length, but it does need to be black and it does need to state a hair length. Other CRLs do state color and length, as with Admiral Daala, Nyna Calixte, DoI Isard, and even our own Mara Jade and her variants. CRLs within TFE are being rewritten as we speak to take things like this into consideration.
I agree with Dawn about the thigh strap that attaches to the holster from the belt. It needs to hang more separately from the belt at an angle.
Since there are some pretty major discrepancies between the Vader comic version (which I'm assuming yours is based on with the vest design you have) and her standalone comic, it'll probably be a good idea to mention this and adjust the two CRLs accordingly, or break one CRL into two versions similar to how Tiers work for accuracy.
Example being
For Vader comic version: the vest is a simple fitted red form with epaulets located on the shoulders and no additional embellishments.
For Standalone version: the vest is a simple fitted red vest with two pockets located at the lower front of each side of the vest. There is also a piped seam outlining the front of the vest and extends from the bottom of the vest to the side seams and up to the chest.

Yeah that should be fine.

Looking awesome!

They look great! That suede is also perfect for the mottled effect. If you don't have a heavy duty sewing machine, I would probably take them to a tailoring shop as the multiple layers will kill any normal sewing machine.

Try again! I made them visible to members to comment and upload references. It was still set to officer-only while we set it up! Woops!

Black leather or leather-like smooth texture gloves with no shine finish to them, and no additional embellishments for his. Silk would have too much of a sheen, and most fabrics used to gloves are not smooth texture. If there is stitching that is completely covered by the hand plate, it will be alright, but none of the stitching can show around the plate when it is on your hand.
Hope that makes sense!
These are a more fitted option, but are a good example for the low sheen and smooth texture with no embellishments or detail stitching.

Congrats!!!!

Oh good! You have the vertical stripe down the front of the neck seal already. Looking good.

Yes! We will be starting this week to get CRLs going. You can see the ones being worked on here as they are posted.

The Maladi one is up so you can start throwing whatever images, references, and descriptions of parts that need to be added or edited from the 501st CRL.

Hooray!!!!!

You can email me at Nina501st@gmail.com and we can go over the letter.

Eeeeexcellent! ::Mr Burns hand gestures:: Welcome to the Flagship Eclipse!

Give me a day to look at all the references we've got and do a bit more research on it. I'll gather a list of stuff and compare it to yours to see what should be added, if anything!

That's adorable! Training the future generation!

So, I went through the high def video at .25x speed and managed to grab this for the back details. The only thing missing is the belt and pants detail, which, TBH, if you have the robe as a part of the costume for, can be argued that they aren't necessary for the approval, similar to Revan's back plate and kidney plate right now.
Plus, at some point, you can assertain that based on the front and side details of her pants from the 3D rendering, her....ass.....ets show no signs of additional details on just her cheeks or the back of the legs. Even the red stripes seem limited to just the 2, but would be one of those things that *if* a future reference comes out that shows that 3" width of area on her leg not visible does prove to get a red stripe or something detailed to it, it could easily be added without the need to change what the costume is written as, and, at least from where I can see, would allot for access to the 360 degree reference eligibility for approval references.
Additionally, here's another couple angles on the lekku tattoo design for 360 degree and another up close of the details and greebles of the bracer (especially those metal prongs sticking out the sides).
Her bracer seems a lot more rectangular than the Jedi one, with sharper edges and more details, as well as a different "block" setup on the top of it, which you can see in more detail in the image above compared.
Here's a side by side to explain better. Each color signifies an area of "difference" between the basic structural shape of the two.

I would advise maybe getting a bit heavier of a surface weather on the armor parts after watching the Deceived and Alderaan videos again. Like, applying a coat of really thinned paint, letting it sit for a bit, and then dabbing to remove with a sponge or microfiber towel to match the weathering in the groves. It doesn't have to be a heavy weather, but so it is consistent in showing the dark areas as weathering vs outlining.
Those shoes seem perfect for the task!
How to Propose Edits to the CRLs

As soon as we can get to it, I would love for you to put any input (including this!) into getting it accurate and up to date. It shouldn't be too long, but the CRL team is working hard to get things rolling.
