AOTC Concept Ventress WIP

[CEGrant]

It's been a busy May! 

 

But at last it's done and approved.  So this is me....

 

 

And so is this....

 

 

I got approved on the first try, for which I have all of you to thank.  Without your constant feedback and support throughout the process, it would never have gone so smoothly.  

 

I've worn it twice now, once to a small Star Wars themed run event the same day I took approval pics, and once to the Cherry Capital ComiCon in Traverse City, MI.  The Con was a blast...quite a few people recognized me, which is neat.  Plus we got to kill off a red-shirted Ensign, which is always cool.

 

 

 

So again, thank you all.

Congrats. Was it fun?

May I ask what bald cap you used? Your suit if fantastic btw. You look amazing

[CEGrant]

Thanks ionicdesign! Yes, it was a blast.  I love wearing the costume.  Really the only down side is the 3 hour prep time.  Ventress definitely got more attention than my Leia does.

 

smartgirl...that's so nice, thank-you! I see you just finished one as well.  Nicely done. I'd be happy to share all the info I have.  I'll shoot you a pm with my email address.  Send me yours and I can email you a bunch of links and pictures.  (I have links to several good tutorials, both written and verbal, on bald caps.  I also a file that allows you to print templates for applying the triangle tattoos--that's courtesy of Lady B.)

 

In the meantime, check out page one of this thread.  In post #3 I detail what materials I used, and in post #10 there are some photos of my first bald-cap try.  

 

But to answer your question, I use Graftobian bald caps.  I tried Glatzan, but like the Graftobian much better.

Excellent, I'm glad to hear it.

 

The prep time can be reduced as you get better with it. Just beware humidity (and don't ask for my advice with the caps (if you know LadyB's story).
