  1. Hi As a costume mentor here on TFE and having made a Nihilus costume - I would say, the gloves are fine for approval. Though I do agree with Tiedoll - the gloves looks a bit to large for you - perhaps it´s just the way the photo was taken Good luck with the approval - looking forward to seing you in our ranks too.
  2. Hi Sorry, that you haven´t gotten any respons on this - unfortunately I´m not an expert on this character, so I can´t tell you if it can be used. I´ll see, if I can get another mentor or a staff member to look at this.
  3. It looks very much like the same color, that I used - so yes, the one far to the right looks okay
  4. For the belt I would use the dark red on your first pic - the light one is not going to work. The CRL also states, that you need a dark red fabric for the belt. http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_marr_unseen And as to the pic in your second reply - yes, I would use the dark one in the middle as a ref. it looks like the right burgundy color As to the black fabric - just make sure, that you won´t die from the heat, if it is non breathable. My outerdress is killing me, so one of my next projects it, that I´m going to make a new one out of faux breathable leather.
  5. Hi and welcome It it´s the Visas Marr Unseen, Unheard version - then you´ll need to find some fabric that are more burgundy as it states in the CRL, and it needs to be a matte fabric - these, I´m afraid, are to red and light. For the KOTOR version it will be okay with a dark red fabric. The black one is a bit hard to see - is it a leatherette or vinyl ? Nice to see another "sister"
  6. Wuhu congratulation
  7. Congrats ! you look awesome
  8. The one I made for my friend has a balaclava under his mask and he has no problems with the mask. You need to try, what works best for you - there are several ways to do it
  9. Just for you info - the CRL on the 501st. page has now been corrected - looking forward to seeing your progress
  10. It´s always good to provide pics of all the different details or if you have a WIP thread to link to that, so the judges can see the progress of the build. You can use what ever works for you as an undersuit + perhaps use something like the stormtroopers are using, those are good to get the sweat away from the body I´m still waiting for our DL and staff to get the CRL on the 501st page fixed...
  11. Weee congrats
  12. Hi The CRL on the 501st page about the inner- and outer skirt is wrong ! We are trying to get it fixed - the CRL in here is the right one. I hope that the DL or another of the staff members will chip in on this - I´ve already asked for help, again. Regarding the hilt - it is not a must have for approval, but if you want to carry one, it needs to be like the KOTOR versions. Also, the boots, as long as we can´t see any straps/laces or logos, they should be fine.
  13. It would be easier with a pic, but normally a single layer would be enough
  14. Hi You have to make the leather wet and then shape it over a couple of days to get the right form Try and take a look at the other WIP threads in here, there are some good pics too. Hope it helps
  15. Hi Big congrats on your approval - you look awesome
  16. Very nice - shouldn´t be a problem with the approval
  17. Hi I don´t know this costume well, but I do know, that any style of a Sith hilt is acceptable as it says in the CRL - with a red blade But do take a look at others here on the forum, perhaps you can get some inspiration from their WIP.
  18. Hi and welcome The CRL is here on the 501st. page : http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_SWTOR-Sith_Acolyte So yes, we still accept it in the Legion
  19. Hi I´m no expert on this costume, but I think, that you look awesome x my fingers for you
  20. Great work and eye for the details - this will help others a lot, if they want to make this costume. Thanks
  21. I absolutely love your work and eye for details
  22. That looks really amazing

    Very nice - congrats on your approval
  24. Hi This is how mine was done, it´s formed out of leather - though I would recommand a snap closure in the back for easier putting it on. You have to make it wet and then shape it over a couple of days to get the right form.
  25. Hi Welcome good choice on the costume. You can use any fabric - but do remember, that since it has many layers, that the fabric needs to be breathable - I used a heavy jersey fabric. As Kracker98 already wrote - there are many ways to make the shape for the headpiece - do take a look on this page to see, how others have done theirs. Good luck with your build and I´ll look forward to see your WIP
