This is all looking extremely impressive Mynock, loving watching the "Ultimate Sith Acolyte" coming together.

Looking great Mynock!

And it looks like the mask is due in game tomorrow: http://www.swtor-spy.com/blog/785/swtor ... pdate-2-1/

I know the in game shots of SW:TOR will never look as good as the cinematic trailers but someone pointed out to me that the Sith Acolyte armor style is now in the game. The in game graphics I think is just a recoloured version of the Jedi armour which, as we know, is very similar in style.

Yeah, thanks for the files. I cut my foam armor using some cardboard templates I eye-balled a couple of years ago but since then there has been much more interest and reference for this character so I might take another look at remaking the armor and these files will be a great start. My armour kind of worked but wasn't that accurate:

Congrats Darren , happy to see this character has been approved.

Well, slave1pilot has a nice high res image on his website which might help you out with that upper ab section, there is clearly some armour that links the chest to the lower ab section. (sorry I'm pinching your image here slave1pilot)

The guy that did it has done a couple from SWTOR and will be putting them on his deviantart site soon. When he does I'll post a link here, you can also see some on his Facebook page just look for Matt Difa. Thanks for that. I found him and his work

I caught this over on therpf, and it looks great. I like how you created the two main layers and I feel like I could do with a vacuum table now. How much does it weigh?I guess it must feel pretty lightweight compared to my own version.

That looks great Darren! And Jaster, I'm loving your new avatar. Have you got a link to a bigger version?

Well, I saw over on therpf a few people making this mask using the same method I used before and it inspired me to try this again. First mould built. Smooth versions can now be cast: Filagree detailing on top of the first smooth pull .. time consuming A few more hours in. Fingers numb from scalpel use... Another coat of resin. Perhaps I used a slightly thicker layer of resin than I'd of liked, some of the edges are not as sharp as before but I'm hoping it looks okay once finished and painted. Prepared for mould. Latex mould completed, first half of Plaster mothermould completed: I had a bit of a panic when I couldn't get the plaster mother mould apart and feared I'd have to break it, but after working at the edges of the plaster I was able to separate the pieces and retrieve the original mask with minimal damage: The latex "detail" mould: It needs some cleaning up on the inside but it should work out fine, the details are easily visible: The Plaster mother mould, viewed from inside: Okay, so I got the first cast done today. The mouth vent area needs a little work but otherwise it's not too bad. Cast in black resin and painted with Rub n buff (no blackwash here). It needs some eye mesh and a strap at the moment. It was kinda horrible to think that after a week of making the mould that the whole time could've been wasted, so I'm pleased that this came out okay!

Was it this one? Image taken from the official star wars flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/starwarsbl ... hotostream

Sorry to say it - but I would agree, it's not quite "bobble head" size but it does look a bit too big in that photo.

I'd imagine the best (possibly only?) images would be from the cinematic trailer for SW:TOR (The return) and I guess you've already watched that a number of times. Just had a quick google and found that Shaun Absher did some work on this character (he also worked on the Sith Acolytes) and there are some images of his here if they help: http://cghub.com/images/view/140778/ They're images taken from the trailer but this one is a pretty clear almost full length shot: http://cghub.com/files/Image/140001-141 ... 18_max.jpg

That's pretty much what I used on the mask that I made, you can see it on this picture: It allows good visibility and ventilation and most of the time hides the eyes (although sometimes your eyes can be visible in flash photography).
