If the foam gives the curved shape you need, go for it.
-
I would recommend swimsuit material. Neoprene might be a little stiff. For the mask and neck.
We did use it for the inside of the hood to keep the shape though.

Hard to be sure from the image but that would be much better than the crushed velvet or solids.
Looks promising.
-
I'll keep an eye out too. I really don't think crushed velvet is the right look though maybe something else could be distressed and have some dark streaks added to look ok.
I'll let you know if we see anything.

No, after looking for a while (much longer on the bodysuit material) I found that as it was at JoAnns. She has some but I'm not sure enough for another set.
-
Yes. This was three / four years ago though and JoAnns stock changes all the time.

Yes, it is a deep red and not smooth. Crushed velvet isn't a good match and the others look to be too smooth.
It should have ridges in it, black and red.
I believe what we found at JoAnns for Brita's was called a crepe or Taffeta (sorry it has been a while),
It laid and matched well. -
It is available as a nice vector file, not just the pixel image, I'm glad what I made worked well.
On the boots the best match would be horizontal on the top rather than slanted.

I have a template for the shin armour if interested.

Exactly. As your girlfriend is not an animated character these things should all be proportionate to her frame, based on the reference.
We made LadyB's medallions from Sintra. Be sure you get material that is a good match for the costume, both the crumbled red and grey are unique.
As to the three.
1. I suppose based on some. As it is a fitted design care in tailoring is important.
2, All relative to how it is made.
3. Excellent, glad to have her be involved.

It is Sarah, the costume is in the database and has been approved. We'd certainly like to expand the CRL will full-text and images.

and perhaps update the name, from Covert Ops to Traitor.

This new section has been made to facilitate discussion and topics relating to this DZ and latter SL.
Because so much of this costume is Tusken related be sure and research the Kryat Clan forums as well for information.

Sounds like a good plan. I'd love to see how you recreate the hair.
When I've done animated Dooku I've used this to shape my beard to be pointy and match better:

Silicone sounds good.
Shaving is totally up to you, not required by any means. Brita used a cap for her first several troops, before going that route after having the cap and stuff fail to attach on a humid day before a big Relay for Life event. She handed me the clippers and said do it, we need to go. I handed them back, told her I loved her and would support whatever she wanted to do, but I wasn't cutting off her her. She gave herself an anti-Mohawk and said hurry we'll be late.
Her build thread is here: http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/topic/210-help-on-new-ventress/page-1

The concept version is a fav. and on the other comment, if totally hidden and the hood is secure that is probably fine for less formal events.
For clarity sake, this is the Mrs. and she is shaved bald here:
Liquid latex was recommended to me for making wrinkles for Dooku, but alas I'd look more like the end of ROTS Anakin if we did that.
Does silicone bother you? I think you cna get caps made out of that. With some careful airbrushing you can layer some colours to give it a skin-like feel.

Which version of Asajj Ventress are you wanting to make?
I have the same issue with Latex, it is no fun at all. I'm not sure what to recommend for adhesives and whatnot. My wife chooses to donate her hair and shave these days for Asajj. She didn't react so I wore nitrile grove when helping.
I'm not familiar with plastic bald caps but be sure the fit is smooth and the surface looks like skin instead of plastic. There may be some silicone ones that work well, if that doesn't bother you.
-
OK if that works go for it, if you want to do it in Illustrator then the tool I mentioned is how to control what prints.

What version of Illustrator are you using?
Do you have the Page Tiling (box icon under the hand on the toolbar) placed where it overlaps the patterns? If not it could be in a white section as these are quite large.
-
Do reply if you received it.
-
Please, Would you send the set to me too? I could give it a good use
Thanks in advance!
Do tell if you received it.
Lightsabers

They look nice, but where they are 3d printed from PLA I don't think they will stand up to any abuse. I think if anything more than a belt hanger (I know which is odd on Asajj), they will break.
Do you have a library with a 3d printer? If so you could make some of your own, and see what you think of the material.
