  1. Hi everyone this is my new Mortis Ahsoka costume tutorial! I've started to work on it 4 years ago and finished 1 month ago, I can be quite satisfied with it. Let's start with the hard part: HEADPIECE In short, I sculpted them from 0 starting from a cardboard base, filled in volume with tinfoil and hot glue. I covered all with Chavant clay, which I calmly modeled and smoothed, obtaining the shape that most pleased me. Then I moved on to create the trivalve fiberglass mold. In my Instagram profile (@ahsoka94) you can find the tutorial here: In that highligts story in evidence, in addition to finding all my comments and suggestions step by step, you will also find links to videotutorial posts in my feed, where in the description I explain all the things I do in the video, I link them individually here too: 1) Create a first rough shape with aluminum foil 2) How to apply plasticine on the base 3) How to remove big bumps 4) How to smooth the surface well 5) How to make the mold separation walls 6) How to apply the Gelcoat 7) How to apply fiberglass Once the mold was finished I applied several coats of white colored latex, once dry I extracted it, I cleaned up the excesses, I colored the whole surface with other white latex and then I drew and colored the blue stripes adding also the spots Clearer. At the end with an Airbrush I drew the dark silver veins using a diluited black acrylic color. I take commissions on them if someone is interested AKULL TEETH AND BEADS Initially I made the paper pattern of the akull teeth, then I molded them with foam, I made the silicone mold, I drip the resin into it, I sand all the imperfections and I made another mold of those in resin so the next time I work on them less. I applied a primer, I colored using a mix of gold and silver acrylic paint, trying to found the right shade as per the reference and I attached them on the latex with cyanoacrylate glue. The beads as we can see from the references are of different shapes and sizes. From the central akull teeth starts 2 rhombus beads bigger than the others interspersed with small round beads. Then there is a division into 2 tails and the first rhombus beads of each tail are smaller in size than all the others and have a round incision in the center. Then they all continue with medium-sized rhombus beads always interspersed with small spherical beads. Behind, on both sides, at the highest intersection of the blue bands there are 2 larger golden round beads. The 2 tails rejoin under the back tentacle. On the right under the golden bead there is the padawan braid formed by medium round beads interspersed and not attached to each other. The first bead is a small rhombus bead, the last are 2 triangle beads interspersed with a small blue bead, the first is yellow, the last is red. Obviously the color of the beads coincides with the color of the akull teeth excluding those of which I have already specified the colors. For this reason I had to hand-paint the beads of my set one by one, trying to find them of different sizes and as accurate as possible: I take commissions on beads and akull teeth set if someone is interested CHOKER As you can see from this image it is not flat, so it was initially carved in forex, I made the silicone mold, I drip the resin, I adjusted the shape by sanding and I made the definitive silicone mold. Then I put a primer, gold acrylic, protective acrylic spray transparent opaque and with other resin I attached it to a base for necklaces in golden steel, finally I tightened it to the right size of my neck so it remain well adhered and right height to my neck. I also do this on commission. DRESS The dress is made with an elastic suede-like fabric. To find the fabric especially of this color, it took me years, in the end the member Ahsoka Freacking Tano helped me to get it directly from America because the site didn't ship to Italy, I took it to my talented seamstress @nico.muschitiello on IG, who made it perfectly tailored in double layers, so the holes and the hem didn't have seams in sight: LEGGINS I bought some simple dark gray cotton leggings and took them to my seamstress to have them modified, we designed the rhombus directly on me, to avoid making the wrong measurements. To ensure that the shape of the holes does not change, she inserted a Thermo adhesive canvas underneath and in addition, on the edges as the reference, I made a border with light gray colored latex. FAUX LEATHER PARTS OF ARMS AND LEGS As we can well observe from this image the bands on the arms, the forearm covers, the gloves, the shoes and the gaiters are all made of the same material and of the same color, we notice it especially from the type of "dirt" and which vary slightly in color from the dress. Apart from the shoes, all these pieces have been made with a 2mm foam base covered with elasticized eco-leather using super-transparent neoprenic glue, obviously starting from paper patterns taken directly on myself with scotch paper. To the gloves, which have no fabric between their fingers, I attached the slightly darker piece of fabric that goes to cover the elbow: H-shaped buttons are placed on the bracelets and gaiters, I made them 3D printed by @fralans3d on IG, and I colored them with gold acrylic. For the closure I sewed small snap fasteners under each button, and velcro on the entire length of the piece to help the closure of bracelets and gaiters. Finally I sewed the H buttons above and I give to all the pieces, including shoes, dirty paint with acrylic to give a worn effect. On the left bracelet I also have the possibility to add a comlink that I made magnetic. 3D printed thanks to @fralans3d I engraved below to be able to glue the magnet and then I colored following the references For a better description of the method you can see it in another tutorial i made: http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=89797 BELT AND TABBARD As we can see from the references, the hexagon seems to be ivory, dirty, and have a certain thickness of about 0.7cm. I made it in 6mm Foam and with the sandwich technique I covered it with worbla to make it in hard material, after I plastered and sanded the surface to make it smooth and I colored it with acrylic, also adding the effect of dirty with a light gray brush and sponge. Behind I added the velcro. The tabbard is in leather and was made by Phoenix leatherworking on FB, following the measurements of the pattern that I had made. The belts are brick-colored and slightly dirted with a lighter color, these too were made with the same method as the eco-leather parts of the arms and legs, it is a single piece that is fastened in front under the buckle with velcro. Behind the pouchette it was modeled and 3D printed by @fralans3d, I helped him with measurements and shape following the references, after which I colored it with acrylic paint matching the color of the belts and dirted in the same way The silver food capsules were made with worbla scraps modeling them with a hot gun. To attach the printed hilts in 3d by @fralans3d I added 2 covertecs to the belt. But I also bought the metal ones from solo's hold which I have not yet assembled because I want to have them installed first. HANDCUFFS The cuffs are silver , weathered and in some places rusty. They have 2 broken and pierced attachments, in the center we notice the dividing line of the opening which is not straight, but curved at some point as we see in this image: Initially, I hadn't noticed it either, but that's right and you can also see it in another image: On the other hand, instead, we have the hinge, cylindrical and with 4 lines that divide it: I made them in foam 5mm and then covered in worbla with the sandwich method, I added the added edges to the holes, and I closed them by joining them to the hinge made by modeling the worbla in a tube. I made the incisions with a pointed tool and heating, I smoothed the worbla covering it with vinyl glue and I colored everything with acrylics. DAGGER The first thing I did was to print the pattern according to my body measurements. Then I passed it on polyurethane foam, I cut it with a hot cutter and I started to sand all to be able to recreate the right shape. After that I covered everything with the worbla and I engraved the details. Still with worbla, I recreated the "snake" that turns around the hilt and ends on one of the 2 sides of the blade. To smooth it all I applied vinyl glue and finally I colored with acrylics following the references. MAKE UP For years I have been using the water-based colors of kryolan, orange for the base and white for the marks on the face. First I cover the eyebrows using mastic and theatrical plasticine kryolan, then I apply on the face the stencils that I have drawn and cut on adhesive paper. I spray the water on the orange color and with a kabuki brush I spread it well on the whole face and the skin parts of the body in sight. I remove the stencils and apply with a little brush the white. For the eyes I use a brown eyeshadow, black pencil, eyeliner, false eyelashes and lenses; for the lips I use a dark brown tint. For dark circles I used a brown, but seeing better from these references, there is also a touch of violet mixed together. For the veins I used the airbrush with diluted black so that it is dark gray as reported in the references, and matching those I made on the headpiece and obviously on all parts of the body in view. FINAL RESULT And in the end this is my finished costume!
