I'm still working on finishing Savage, but I'm getting closer.. I finally have the boots right and I've added the steel toes. I've figured out the gloves, too. I've worn it to cosplay in a couple of times, and I think I need to have the waist taken in a little.

JD, Thank you for the awesome feedback. Here's a better pic of the boot and buckles. It sounds like they're too short, so I'll get on that! I was planning to start working on the toe caps tonight, but perhaps I'd better get the boots corrected, first. [Ignore those pants; they're what I wore to work today. ] I see what you're saying about the undershirt - I'll get to work on that. Thanks for the tip on the gloves! That's a great tip on the greeblies and buckle. I'm actually a little embarrassed I didn't think of that. Easy fix, though! Definitely - dark brown face paint and better bald cap application for the win. Is my yellow, um, YELLOW enough? And yeah, I was losing patience with my bicep armor during this shoot. I think I've found a good solution, though. Thanks again for all of your assistance! Your Savage is awesome and it inspired me to take on this challenging costume.

Awesome! Thank you.

Can an admin fix the link? Here's the correct one. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Savage_Opress

Hello from Orange, CA. I am almost finished with my Savage Opress cosplay. I'm sharing my most recent photos to collect feedback before I submit my official photos. My contacts were dried out, so I'm not wearing them in these pics. I need to finish and install the armor on the boots, and weather my boots a bit. I also need to find a good solution to keep my hands looking yellow. However, I think I'm almost done and I would appreciate your feedback. My photos show a deviation from the CRL - the vest/armor is not black and silver as per the CRL. Instead, it is dark brown with weathered seams, which is more accurate to the Clone Wars version of the character. I've included a screenshot for reference. I would appreciate guidance on adding this variation to the CRL. Thank you in advance for your time and effort. Savage wouldn't say it, but I will - May The Force Be With You!

Thank you for taking the time to help me understand. I now regret lurking.

Thank you for the tip. I see dark brown on Savage in these screenshots as well. In addition, the CRL doesn't mention the three slits on the breast of the chest armor, either.

Hi everyone. I'm a prospective member from Orange, CA and hope to become a member of the Southern California Garrison. Having already personally built a screen-accurate Savage Opress lightsaber, I hope to also create a screen-accurate version of his costume to participate in 501st activities & charity events. Honestly, I've been a lurker for a while because I'm uncertain the screen-accurate version of Savage's costume I plan to create will gain 501st approval. The Savage Opress CRL indicates his chest armor is black. However, I have only ever seen his chest armor as dark brown. I will continue researching what to do next. In the era of LCD screens, I can see how his chest armor can be mistaken for black, but even the chest armor in Lucasfilm-authorized costumes is dark brown. I see dark brown on Savage and black on Maul: The left image is Lucasfilm-approved "Deluxe" savage costume with brown chest armor. In the image on the right, the stress areas on the breastplate are a light brown on my screens, indicating the armor isn't black, but dark brown. This image is a screengrab from Clone Wars - his armor is clearly brown. In this shot, unlike so many others, he is recovering from surgery and lit by medical lighting. I hate to be the FNG that says the CRL has inaccuracies, but I'm willing to do the necessary work to get it corrected. I simply need to know the process.
