Concept Asajj from Upstate NY

[Tricotajj]

I made all this myself. The skirt is a half-circle of black linen and moves gorgeously. The white of the bodysuit is matte stretch vinyl, while the black is crepe.

I need concrit on the belts. I'm planning to add d-rings per her appearance in the comics, and I also want to add clips to hang the sabers. I have 3d printed clips already (brother's in the local CAD program.) But there's canon sources for a bunch of different configurations of the saber hilts and belt buckle, and I'm not sure which one is best. I like the idea of )O(, but also the comics often have them hanging horizontally from the side belts, and the "betrayed" outfit from TCW has them hanging vertically from the side belts.  I don't think putting them on top of the belt buckle like some of the concept art has would work- too much mass in too small an area.

I'm not sure I follow concrit. Are you looking for feedback on the belts?

The standing joke is she uses the force to keep the sabers on there.  There are many configurations (because comics).  What reference are you looking at for d-rings?

Yes, constructive criticism. Sorry

These are a couple of the references I was lookin at. The CRL only says "attachment points made of D-rings", so does that mean anything goes? She's the sort of girl to own more than one belt.

 

[ladyb]

Ok yes, as can be seen in the references, more often than not it is a ring *(not D).  I wouldn't say anything goes, would want to match reference when possible. 

I should have introduced myself, I'm the model in the crl.

As far as belt construction goes they should be circular rings. as to attaching sabers to it the one figure has a covertec on both sides, the comics and animations the sabers basically hang magically from the middle or sides.  

[Tricotajj]

LadyB- your pictures were a great help putting this together, thank you!

The CRL does say D-rings are ok, and one of those references looks more like D-rings. I guess asking my GML directly is better for tiny details like that.

No glaring inaccuracies, though? Apart from the fact I've got hair and no makeup? (I shaved it for NYCC, this is three months' growth.)

This page also shows /O\

Beautiful job! 

[ForceChoke]

Amazing!! great job I cant wait to see ya all geared up.

[Tricotajj]

Well, I have the "geared up"version that I wore to New York Comic-Con. My brother and I got into IGN's gallery! (I made his costume too.)

But of course I'll have to change it up for approval.

No. The lighter part of the top is ideally a little more grey, but you look well on the right track. Do tell on other questions, Brita (LadyB) and I would be happy to help.

Brita and I made templates for the tattoos if those would help.

Additional information to share.

[Tricotajj]

I've got your templates already, I lurked these forums for a while before making my account. All the step-by-steps were a great help, and I'm sure the tempaltes will be as well.

Not sure I'll be able to darken the vinyl without ruining it, but I was planning on making a backup bodysuit anyway. I'll keep it posted.

[ionicdesign]

Sounds good.

Oh the middle of the shirt is vinyl? Interesting. No changing that would require special boot paint. Not a big deal.

[Tricotajj]

Upd8: I added my D-rings, and magnets to hold the sabers. They're pretty strong, I wouldn't vigorously Caramelldanse or anything but they hold just fine for walking around.

I'm getting my head shaved tomorrow and taking my submission photos. There's a local con this weekend. Big bro and I are going to put on a lightsaber duel for the cosplay contest. Wish me luck, y'all.

[ionicdesign]

Best of luck with the photos. If your GML has any questions let me know.

We hope all goes well. 

[Tricotajj]

My GML liked me, so I sent in an application.

Plus I was absolutely mobbed by younglings at the Purimspiel.

[ladyb]

I'm glad it went so well as Purimspiel. Very best of luck with the application. 

If interested I have a couple of suggestions to make it even better.
