Darth Nihilus KotOR costume PL

[Guest Anonymous]

Hello everyone!

 

It's been a long time since I decided to make Nihilus costume. Now I have almost completed it. There is only one thing I don't have – the mask. Fortunately my friend already made it, I'll have it by the end of the month.

 

Here are some pics. I know, they're dark and quality could be better. During last week of February I'll make more professional photos.

For now please let me know what do you think.

 

And there's thing with lightsaber. Should I use Jedi clips or just simple hook?

And here are some pictures of mask.

I've asked my friend to do it. Because Nihilus mask was mas made of bone he decided to make it looks like made of it. Material is not as smooth, there are visible small holes (they are made on purpose!) and as you can see orange paint. Question is: Will the mask, made like this, be accepted?

Good little Jawa! I love this photo!

 

 

It is difficult to see the overall details of the costume in the dark photographs, so I will be looking forward to seeing your brighter pictures later this month.

 

I think the obi sash at the waist will be a bit too wide. In the reference pictures it is quite narrow:

 

 

 

The references do not show any kind of clip for the lightsaber, so there should not be one visible on your belt. If you want to have a clip, the easiest thing to do is to hide it in the back, under your cape. That way, you can use any type that you want, and nobody will know!

 

I'm not sure the orange paint on the mask would be approved. The rough look should be okay, since I've seen masks approved similar to that before... but the references do not show any traces or orange.

Hi,

 

I believe the rest of the mask should be okay for approval. The color that wasn't in the references was my main area of concern.

Ok I've finally send my application. Here is whole gallery on Picassa (but quality is not that good):

Here I've chosen best pictures showing my costume:

Yet there is one thing that concerns my mask:

As you can read in my previous posts, mask was supossed to appear like made of true bone. After removing orange paint it looks like this:

Will this facture be accepted?

Just posted this up on the GML boards in response to your application, but I'll bring it here as well.

 

Sorry I didn't post earlier, but here you go.

 

Step 1: Go outside and get some pictures with enough light to actually see the costume. (all the pics supplied for your application are really dark.)

 

Specific critiques:

There are some must fix items and some recommended items.

 

Must fix:

The cowl. It's too loose across the top of the head. Left "peak" isn't defined, and he's missing the look of the gathered fabric in the inside of the peaks. The bottom of the cowl could really use some cleaning up as well, it doesn't quite look right.

The cowl also doesn't seem to come forward enough, the look of the costume is that the mask is inside the cowl, currently it just looks like it's hanging off the front of the cowl.

 

Cape.

The cape attachments aren't defined well enough in the provided pics, but they should be sewn directly to the padded shirt at the front of the shoulders.

Needs to be longer, it should reach the floor.

 

Padded tunic.

The current padding isn't achieving the correct padded/armored look. It may be a need to add more, but if you hadn't posted the pic of his padding, there'd be no way to know he actually has any.

 

Sleeves.

Too loose, a look at the reference material shows that the sleeves for this version of Nihilus are tight and not loose at all.

 

Gloves: in the current pics the gloves are too bunched up. This may be fixed by fixing the sleeves, by tightening the sleeves, it'll remove the additional material from under teh gloves allowing them to lay flat.

 

Sash/belt/obi: You can pick your own title for it, it sorta fits all three purposes. Needs to be tighter.

 

Lower body: Needs to be longer, it should reach the floor.

 

Recommended fix:

Mask. I always hesitate when looking at masks, but this one is just not shaped right. It's supposed to be representative of a skull and therefore curve back like a skull, this is just too flat
