Kaotiskts Darth Nihilus COTF WIP

[Kaotiskt]

It's a rough start, but it's coming together!

 

Inner tunic, inner skirt, outer skirt, belt and Obi.

 

I have the leather gloves, that need to have the flair reduced and black boots.

 

Also have my updated mask to fit the COTF version.

 

Outer tunic, hood and cape left.

 

Of course weathering/trimming.

 

Question so far.. for weathering/damage.. can the ends be burned/scorched in appearance? Or is only cutting a rough edge acceptable?

Very nice work, almost there

Yes, you can use burns as weathering, but do try on a piece of scrap fabric first, as to see how the fabric reacts and how fast the fire will be, so you can control it. 

Otherwise I made some small and a bit larger holes with a scissor and then used a metal brush (thanks to my longhaired cat) to get the frayed look on them.

Wonderful! Thank you!

 

Looking forward to getting my outer tunic cut out and sewn together today, and quite possibly my sleeves.

Inner and outer tunic so far.

 

My limited sewing skills are.. limited. But I like it. My biggest concern is the baggy parts under the arms.. what do you guys think?

 

How does it look so far?

Looking good, though it is not easy to tell, when I don´t have seen it on you.  Depending on the width of your shoulders, I would suspect that you need to redo the armhole, so that you don't have so much fabric hanging under the arms.  As the tunic is now, the shoulders will hang out and down the arms, which they shouldn´t.   

You can use your innertunic as a guide, the tunics should more or less be almost the same, just make sure, that you can sew the sleeves onto the innertunic without it showing from the outside, the outertunic therefor do need to be a little bit longer at the armhole, but not much.

I´ve tried to illustrate it, red innertunic, yellow outertunic
