Very nice  

[Visas Marr in Germany]

Indeed - it looks really good 

[Visas Marr build help]

I used a nice cotton fabric, which is a bit to the heavy side for a nice drape and for the veil to stay in place in windy weather - I was so lucky to find a tulle in the same color, which I layed double to use before my eyes. With the golden hot iron on vinyl pattern on, you can´t tell there is a diffence in the fabric

It’s only been within the last year that the CRL changed and the mask portion was updated to reflect the different styles between the two.

Yes I know - but many don´t check the CRL´s, so I try to inform people about the difference rather quickly in their buid.  

[Nihilus Tunic]

It´s always a good idea to take a look at the CRL also  : http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_darth_nihilus   

And as Nymalia stated - it is right over left   with both tunics

Oki  - many are not aware that the masks are different, but indeed, having both versions could be cool.

[KOTOR Nihilus mask]

It was only to show the difference in the two masks - sorry 

[KOTOR Nihilus mask]

Yes it looks like the right version for the KOTOR style - you can see the CRL here for the KOTOR : http://databank.501st.com/databank/File:Nihilus_KOTORII_mask.png

and for differences to the COFT version, which are more skull like and can not be used for KOTOR  : http://databank.501st.com/databank/File:SL_nihiuls_cotf_mask.jpeg

Happy to hear that   - it´s great to have WIP´s to use for ideas and how-to .

Hi congrats on your approval and very nice build    

[My Nihilus build]

The fabric looks very shiny - could be the light.  Looking forward to seeing it all together

Hi sorry I´ve been of the forum for a couple of days - nice to see you in here. 

Have you read the CRL for this costume ?  you can find it here :  http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_darth_nihilus

What kind of material have you used as fabric ?  

[Requesting some assistance]

Nice choice   

I more or less went with my hunch with this one, and I used this pattern as inspiration for the tunics http://jedigarb.tripod.com/tunicinnertunic.html  - though I did mod the sleeves and armpits, so it had a better fit on the inner tunic. The outertunic I made with no sleeves.  

The skirts are also "easy" -  I used this as inspiration : 

Hope it helps a bit

Hi greetings from Denmark  

Which version of Nihilus are you going for ?  there are some differences in the way the 2 versions are created as to what patterns will work best. 

 

[Darth Nihilus WIP - So Cal]

Hi welcome back   - good to see you again.  

[My Nihilus is Done!]

Very nice pics indeed   you look great.

[My Nihilus is Done!]

Much better with the cape - good work    - no worries, you´re almost there.  X fingers for your approval  

[My Nihilus is Done!]

Very nice  - I do have two smal requests : 

Could you please take your cape up over your shoulders and down the back instead of having it out over your arms ?  

In the CRL, you can see, how the cape shall sit.  To get the right effect, I use snaps to fasten the cape on the shoulders, so it keeps its place   

And the second - the lightsaber on your belt needs to be removed, and if you have a clip, that one too.  It´s really hard to see the details on the belt from the picture, but if it is as in the CRL, no problem.

Good luck on the approval !

Hi and welcome 

It is always a good idea to make a check list like the one you have - I´m also looking forward to see your WIP  

[Merry Christmas]

Just got the word today that the costume was approved. I guess that makes it official.

Congrats

[COTF Nihilus WIP]

Very nice work - you look great   - though you need to get the cape to go over the shoulders and down the back. You can get it to hold its place with either snaps or velcro - I did mine with snaps, more secure. 

[A Nihilus from France]

Good to have you back

 

The tunics are made like this :

 

For the inner tunic - the left side of the tunic crosses over the right side in the front.

 

For the outer tunis - the left side of the tunic crosses over the right side in the front.

 

The belt will hold them in place, so you don´t need to put velcro or else on them, but you can do it it it will make it easier for you to put on the obi and belt  

[Lord of hunger. Yumyum]

I helped one here in Denmark, who bought a non-used WA KOFT version - to get that one approvable, we had to make mods to the cape and sew it on to the tunic. The tunic we had to put padding in the chest area and the skirt wasn´t wide enough, so he had to make a new one.  

 

So it´s not out of the box approvable - let us see, when you receive your BB (brown box)
