Another Darth Bane orbalisk armour build!

So I thought I was being clever wanting to do a Darth Bane build but I see a few other people beat me to the punch XD But im still going to press forward because this is a build im passionate about and maybe several of us can pool resources together to make an awesome Bane CRL!!! so I have found a bunch of reference pictures (will upload later) however Bane is an old character he has changed over the years. I made a big lucky score the other day when I found a turn sheet for him from the clone wars!! not the version of him yoda faces but from a deleted scene in the episode ghosts of mortis. This sheet gives a 360 view of him but because its clone wars style does not have a lot of details and its different from some of the older sources iv found. But upon further investigation I found several comic books with bane in them that are cannon and upon more digging discovered that they used a real life cosplayer as the bane model in that comic: Thomas. I'm sure some of you have seen his Bane costume and I just read the thread he posted here actually so this is my question and a point id like to put forward for debate. I know the guideline is no fan made sources but since his costume has become cannon and used in a cannon comic book I feel that his costume should be able to be used as a reference, especially because his costume follows some of the older and newer styles so I think it constitutes the "majority look" mentioned in the guidelines. Now I AM NOT going to be poaching another talented cosplayers work, my costume will not look exactly like his because 1) I don't have his skills 2) I think im going to build mine another way. ill post my wip here unless it belongs somewhere else and if anyone has any other resources or ideas to contribute it will be greatly appreciated!!!

these are the two earliest versions of bane i can find, they basically look the same except the helmet has been refined a bit more it looks like on the newer version

this is a turn sheet for bane as he was supposed to appear in the clone wars in the episode ghosts of mortis. it was a deleted scene but as you can see, in the animated style it lacks the detailing of the other two but it provides a 360 view of the character. it takes off the large sleeves from the other two versions and adds more cloth and less exposed orbalisks.

and these are from a legacy comic!! here it seems that they went back to showing more exposed orbalisks and an addition of some non orbalisk shoulder armor. Also i do believe i read that this version was inspired by thomas' bane build. im still looking for some more images of his lightsaber because in the bane trilogy his lightsaber is described as a "hook handed lightsaber" so most newer artwork depicts him with a saber hilt like dooku's with some extra spikes but some also show a standard saber. i do believe the curved hilt has become cannon though. also older stuff shows him with a purple saber blade but again in newer sources he is depicted with the traditional crimson sith blade. with these references is that enough to go off of or do i need more??

Finally found someone who is modeling the helmet for me for 3D printing and as of now, this is the next costume i am tackling! Is there someone i can email during my construction process for eventual keguon approval??? I feel like he is too important a character to not have legion approved status
