The maker that I've commissioned is nearly finished with the 3d print file for the helmet, they did an excellent job capturing the details! Also the silicone mask that I commissioned to be made for helmetless Ochi (in the comics) is scheduled to be finished by the end of November/ early December. So far the core is made and the details are being sculpted.

I am looking forward to seeing this build!!!!! Any thoughts yet on how you are going to make the head? It looks like his nostrils could also serve as eye holes.
-
with the new book "secrets of the Sith" released today, 2 new images of ochi of bestoon were in it including a full body one.
Would this be a sufficient enough references to also do his Rise of Skywalker appearance? @DarthValkyria
-
Gloves came in today, they're a bit more golden than I like but that's okay since in several issues his gloves have a yellow like appearance (while every other leather thing being brown). I'm going to need to remove that dark leather oval shape and add a panel on top of the gloves.

More images of the back of Ochi's head for reference:
-
Boots have arrived! I'm going to have to remove the bottom strap of the top 2 straps and also remove the strap going directly over the vamp of the boot. I am also replacing the bottom most strap buckle with a 3d printed one that closely matches the one in the comics. There will also be a leather panel placed along the vamp similar to what the death trooper boots have

So excited to see this one! I've been sneakily following your other builds in Underworld and I cannot wait to see this build. From one Darth Vader bestie to another, good luck.
Thanks!

Hi everyone, I started my build for Ochi of Bestoon and I didn't quite know where he would fit, after originally on the Underworld, it was decided he would be better suited here. This is his comic appearance (his movie appearance does not have enough references). I have am having the armor and weapons commissioned by a 3d modeler and I have a silicone mask in the works (for his unmasked appearance). Like with comics I noticed it was a little difficult to pin point what colors were right and material.
Soft Parts:
He wears a khaki/beige colored suit that is in 2 pieces. The closest I found for him were a military BDOs that needed to be modified. These have been ordered already and I've been removing the pockets on them at an armor party today. I will need to remove the buttons also and make it look more like a zip up and I need to trim the collar. The material is a twill, which matches the pattern on the live action looking comic variant cover (though it shows him wearing a single jump suit instead of the 2 piece suit). He has modified tanker boots, the closest pair I could find I did order and are a suede leather, and will need to be modified slightly to fit the comic. I have grain/suede leather to make the necessary modifications. His gloves are a little tough to figure out, I could not believe how difficult it is to find suede gloves in the right color, however I think I found a pair, those will be in within the week. For the belt I could lot find a suitable scrunched / ribbed leather looking belt, but a ribbed nylon webbed belt seems to match it closely, I will need to change the buckle. The pouches and holster will also have to be leather suede, the reason why I chose suede is the live action looking cover shows a grain/suede like texture. He has knee pads and elbow pads, but I'm not 100% positive if they are canvas padded or leather at the moment. He has a short cape that I'm thinking could be made of soft canvas or some heavy fabric, the cape is a bit on the short side and isn't straight as it ends in an angle.
Hard parts:
He has a unique helmet with glowing yellow eyes. The chest plate, back plate, and shoulders are very worn and beat up and the have ribbed strapping with bolts.
Weapons:
He has a blaster pistol, an a280 CFE sniper rifle, an Electro knife, and a polearm/axe/spear hybrid weapon.
Optional:
Silicone face mask with cybernetics
Reference photos:
Unmasked:
The most accurate photos show his cybernetics to be very similar to what he had in Episode 9:
-
The 2008 quarren soldier Saga Legends figure which the Maleval figure head sculpt was based off of, to further reinforce my argument of the inaccuracy of the head sculpt of the maleval figure, and to further reinforce the idea that he has no head sacks as seen in the comic. (the tentacles are a dead give away):
-
Hi everyone, I'm finishing up my grand inquisitor very soon and I'm hoping to do a Darth Maleval next.
Mask:
He is a quarren with rather unique features in the comics such as no bulbous sacks in the back of his head which differs from Tessek style quarren. I am hoping to use a modified version of the mandalorian style quarren for this build as it has no bulbous sacks in the back. This differs from his action figure version which uses a repainted model of the Saga Legends quarren soldier.
Hard Parts:
He has a metallic style chest plate with large shoulder armor. The top part of the chest plate is a smooth metal like, the under surface is rough in texture, kind of like dented medal. He has black knee pads that sit on top of his boots. The shoulder armor has smooth detailing. The chest plate has a collar attached that covers the neck, with wide opening in the front. There is a metallic style belt at the bottom of the torso plate.
Soft Parts:
Leather like arm wraps with fingerless gloves (for a 3 fingered quarren). A leather like loin cloth with a cloth skirt that goes down to the ground or an inch above the ground. Tall leather boots with leather straps. Black pants are worn underneath the skirt.
Weapons:
Yuzzahn Vong coral lightsaber
Electro Whip
Optional:
He has a black cloak that he wears.

Hard armor or hard stiff leather could work.

Awesome find guys! @Sidious1138and very awesome find on that one photo showing the flair as being separate.

I agree on the sleeves and gloves, I think the original crl was looking too closely at the action figures that came out.

Hi Everyone, I noticed in the Darth Vader comics that the Grand Inquisitor is first introduced wearing a dark brown jedi robe and I was curious if it could be added as an optional accessory? I figured also that it could include text in the CRL that says it can only be worn when wearing the grand inquisitor mask and not the helmet.
-
Ordered my fabrics today, I'm going to use a Black gabardine and double layer it, also thanks to a second opinion, the tabards that extend onto the outer robe are actually black leather that is lightened by the light. The reasoning behind this came from the in game photos showing the leather like parts to be completely black.
Also I am going to start 3d printing the head piece tonight or tomorrow.

Hi everyone, I'm interested in building the Sith Emperor from Swtor. It's a costume that I've been thinking about doing for a couple of years now.
Reference Images:
Images of the ghostly magus mask (same as the emperors):
Progress pictures:
I commissioned an awesome 3d modeler to make the mask for me, which I will 3d print.
This is what he has done so far:
I found the robes to be primarily black with a dark grey in some areas and the robe composes of 3 primary pieces, being the outer robe, inner robe and inner inner robe.
Outer Robe medium - heavy material, I was possibly looking at a charcoal black suede or leather for the dark grey parts and a medium weight fabric for the black..:
Inner Robe Directly underneath the outer robe, medium weight black:
Inner Inner Robe directly under inner robe medium weight black and dark black leather panels:
There's an inner jacket with a seam and 2 buttons on the sides (both sides)
Gorget will be 3d printed:
I have been looking at some medium weight black fabrics to use for the robes and charcoal black/grey suede for the dark grey bits. The hard pieces will also be 3d printed. I've been toying with the possibility of using suede fabric for everything.

Her outfit is also obtainable in game.
-
No, any book with the "Legends" banner is not considered canon. That goes for comics with the Legends banner also.
-
Just got the faux leather for the tunic piece, it's a marine dark Navy blue. It looks Navy in bright light, but almost black with normal light.
-
Made the front of the helmet smoother, and also added the ear details. The mask is printed out, I am now printing the helmet.

Just finished the mask:

Hi all, I decided to make Darth Bane and if successful it will be the second CRL I made for the legion (first was Tessek). I've been wanting to do him for a long time, and just now worked up the courage to start this project.
Reference Images:
Costume pieces:
Helmet/mask:
-The Helmet is a rough looking dark grey in color, with a pale white gold color trim. The mask itself is a white gold color as well. The helmet is accompanied by a decorative piece on it that stretches to the sides with 2 "ears" . The helmet also ends with a scoop in the back. There are multiple small detail lines on the helmet. The large ears also have pale white gold detail. The mask is similar to a skull (but it is not a skull mask). It has two eyes holes and a nose section that is covered up by something black. The top of the helmet also has a what I can only describe as a "thing". The ears also flair out a little.
Undead (make up/appliances/ silicone/latex?):
-Darth Bane is a force spectre and underneath his armor and he looks like a corpse. The back of his neck has a protruding spine and his fingers and long and bony. Not to mention his skin has taken on a grayish decayed look.
torso Armor:
-The top section of the armor with the protruding shoulder things is rigid. The shoulder pieces are a white gold color, with the bottom section of it being a more darker white gold color. There is detail on the collar and the chest has light pieces. Below the rigid part, the torso armor is leather or a leather like material. I would say it's marine black color (very dark blue/black). Leather torso is 2 parts, the main body which is essentially a leather shirt , and then the bands.
Under suit:
-Bane wears a burgundy or dark red pants and shirt that is slightly baggy
Arm Armor:
-He has shoulder plates with detail on them and white gold etchings, the forearms also have the etchings. The plates are a medium grey in color. The forearm plate armor is accompanied by a black leather or leather like material underneath and a grey insert where the straps go on top of.
Belt:
-His belt is detailed and black in color. He has a grayish colored belt buckle and 2 boxes (one on each side of his hip) with lights.
Kama 1:
-Same color and material as torso is, it's very similar to an arc trooper Kama. It comes down to the middle of the knee.
Kama 2:
-This one is hard to believe but those are not plates apparently attached to his belt. Those pieces are a light cloth material. How I discovered this, while watching the video of his appearance, those pieces were flowing around in the wind and acted as fabric.
This too also has white gold detailing and is the same color as the plate armor.
Hand:
-His hands are bony with long black nails. I'm not 100% that his fingers are elongated though. He has black fabric finger less gloves and a hand plate with detailing.
Boots:
-The boots have shin plate armor with black leather or leather like material backing it with a grey insert to keep the armor and straps in place. The shoe and shin is separated by a fabric piece, kind of like a thick sock. Shoe is light gray and flat toed with a plate on top.
Weapon:
-A pole arm energy weapon, about 4 feet in length.
Progress:
I've pretty much finished modeling the helmet and I've started the mask.

My model:
Let me know what you guys think about all this so far.

I noticed also he has different looks in some of the pictures, as there are multiple artist. Should I combine them to make the perfect one? Or will it be like Aphra with different variants?
Also when it comes to what he is wearing, he definitely has a rigid helmet, gauntlets, and boots/shin armor.
Chest: The chest and shoulder piece is a leather like material I'm assuming as to match a kind of rigid look to other inquisitors but in several of the pictures wrinkles and flex is seen in them as if it's made of fabric. Also the color even though it looks grey, I actually think is black with a lot of lighting to make it look greyish for proof in this picture Vader who we all know has a black body suit has a grayish one in these pictures, the same color as the Sixth Brother's chest armor:
And as seen in this picture his chest armor is black to show either natural or no lighting:
and this one:
Also in some photos, particualry that of his back, he has 2 ridges on his back to presumably hold the lightsaber:
Bodysuit: The body suit is supposed to be a flexible metallic banded alloy armor. As seeing that such a thing doesn't exist in the real world, what comes to mind is a flexible yet metallic looking fabric. At Joanns today I found this nice metallic fabric to use for the bands:
Its a flexible spandex like material with a rubberized coating it feels like. So it doesn't have a knit texture at all, but smooth.
Helmet: The helmet contains a rounded top with a rigid "hood" attached to the back coming around the ears. It has cheek guards and eye guards. In most of the photos the top of the helmet is a black or a dark blue and the hood is a different color usually a purple or light blue. The hood tends to match the color of the kama in most pictures. Also inside the hood has metallic bands lining it.
Kama/skirt: The kama/skirt has a slight sheen to it and is seen as having a bit of a rigidness to it in all the photos, I'm assuming it's a vinyl or leather like material and in most photos is seen light blue or purple and in a couple of the photos it's seen as gray. Usually matches the color of the hood of the helmet.
There are also some greeblies that the Sixth Brother has, most notably these rounded half sphere like pieces on his hips,shoulders, and ears of the helmet. in some photos they are red and in other they are grey, I'm not exactly sure if it being grey in some is a mistake or these could be lights that can be turned on and off?
Also he appears to have a baklava in some photos, sometimes it's black, others it's banded:
And in some photos he isn't wearing any. Also in this photo he has a red turtle neck:
So that's a little confusing a bit.
His skin is a grayish green and I found some makeup that matches his skin perfectly that I will be experimenting with soon.
What do you guys think of my findings? I welcome any feedback for this. Tomorrow I hope to start working on the helmet.

Currently printing the chest plate now and I ordered a good looking belt, I'm going to need to replace the buckle on it though.
