The only reason I say this is that the GML I have been working with has a Darth Nihilus approved costume and this is my 5th attempt at subitting. I'm figuring it is at a higher level since he hasn't gotten back to me with any new fixes.

I really hate the waiting game. I submitted over a week ago and it's killing me. I am surmising that since I haven't heard from the GML my app is being processed higher on up. I've made all the fixes that were put my way and I have my fingers crossed.

Yes I have looked over Scott and Pam's page, my costume is based from his design. At the time I didn't have access to fiberglass like Scott did and made mine from what I had when I redid my costume. Unfortunately the lighting in my bathroom cast shadows to where you cannot see the recessed area of the crown. When I redid the crown this time I added a 1/4" + lip on the crown so that it doesn't just fall from the crown to the mask.

My GML stated that my hood crown was looking flat. I was able to add some foam to the hood form to make the crown or "cat ears", as the GML puts it, more pointier and not as flat. Close up on the head taken last Saturday Selfie I took today with the fixed crown Comparison of the two I really think that I am close and ready to apply again.

Here are bigger pictures of my 5th attempt app pic preview. I know that the fit adjustment is off, my heel got caught on the back of my inner skirt and I didn't realize it then it through it off. The GML had stated that my "cat ears", I hate that term, didn't look like the CRL picture if Scott and my Obi, "It appears to be folded over and still something poking out from behind the leather belt. It should be a single layer and nice and flat." I will post those pics so you all can see what he means. I have taken a new set of app pics an I will post them soon and hopefully the fixes I did work. Now I did send the GML an email about the hood corners... "I understand that my hood corners don't look like the one pictures in the CRL, but I only used the written costume description listed in the CRL's. I used combinations of the pictures below as my reference pictures. Almost all are from the game and official advertisements of the game. I have only seen fan art that has the hood corners look that extremely pointy. This is my explanation with references of why my hood is designed and constructed this way." His responce was… "I understand your thought, however the game images are not the same as the crl and that is the basis for me and the DL of TFE for this costume. The game images are not used for the crl and are not what approval is based off of." The Crown is what was troubling me The second pic is after the fix that i did. What do you all think?

This is what my GML said...

Thanks Nef for the advise. I have added foam to my crown, it looks like it popped them up a bit and made them more pronounced. The image you used is one I was using, the only problem is that it's an action shot and it's a bad represention of the characters looks. I have posted a new thread with preview pic of my 5th attempt, please check them out and compare.
