This most recent wardrobe addition ( Sith Red Obi, Tabards & Belt Sash w/black trim) is my very 1st attempt to actually "use" my sewing machine and it took me several day to complete... ...I have a new found appreciation and infinite level of respect for those who design/create, sew & tailor for a living! Made a few minor mistakes along the way that I'll correct the next time due to a helluva learning curve using a sewing machine.  The next project will be an inversion of this one consisting of: Black Obi, Tabards & Belt Sash w/ Sith Red trim. I gotta recharge my batteries a 'lil before embarking on that journey, though (whew)! Give me some collective feedback regarding your thoughts on this project.  May The Force Be With You All!  May The Force Be With You All! This is quality work. It reminds me of Sasha Velour from RuPaul's Drag Race.  |

Currently working on another special wardrobe addition I'll add to this post once complete (Hint: it won't resemble the outfit pictured above)...so stay tuned.  |

Finally completed an original "Shadow Sith" project I've been brainstorming for quite some time. This wardrobe variation was inspired by Shadow Trooper/TIE Fighter helmets & flight-suits combined w/my passion for hoods, capes & cloaks. First time working w/PU (polyurethane leather) so here's a few test shots of all the combined elements as I explore areas for refinement. I'll probably revert back to my larger belt or opt to get an alternate Dark Side belt at some point due to the weight of my sabers and gear pouches for Cons/Photo-Shoots. Nevertheless, I wanted to test the visual of the Galactic Empire belt which isn't designed to support weight. Better pictures to come but gimme feedback. ( BTW: Hooded cape pictured was made by me; all other articles were purchased, painted & customized (i.e. mask).)  Galez Akuyi Buti Su J'us! (May The Force Be With You!) |

Can't beat the black/dark blue and red one, but still cool. |

Looks kind of like a more realistic version of Lord Helmet.
Nicely done, though

LR you never disappoint; incredible work  . I do have to ask: I know how hot it can get at con's; would the helmet plus leather make it stifling or am I over-thinking things? Regardless, you are a truly fantastic artist/artisan  . I can't wait to see your next creation! |

That's quite a statement, Sean...Appreciated! Looks kind of like a more realistic version of Lord Helmet.

Hahaha...Um NOT!  I got that response on FB, but still...NO! All kidding aside, thanks TJ. LR you never disappoint; incredible work . I do have to ask: I know how hot it can get at con's; would the helmet plus leather make it stifling or am I over-thinking things? Regardless, you are a truly fantastic artist/artisan . I can't wait to see your next creation! I got ya, Dutchman! Funny story...I'd planned to attend a cosplay photo-shoot this past Saturday, but opted not to because of the triple digit temps. The material doesn't breathe, and I wouldn't have worn any of my variations due to the many layers in general of SW garb which doesn't bode well in heat. |

but it was still a blast!

Wow LR, is there any costuming you CAN'T do?! Absolutely fantastic; from texture to execution, those pics bespeak of your talent^^
That's one of the wonderful things about this community: truly creative and visionary members^^
Er, I mean two things. And ruthless efficiency...Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as...I'll come in again...

Thanks Dutchman, foam/worbla armor would be the most challenging due to the steep learning curve, tools needed & costs involved to do it at the high level I would want for realism. Having said that, I would opt to purchase LARP pieces and/or custom paint them to my preferences if I add an armored Dark Side wardrobe to my repertoire. Definitely looking good, Lord Ravage.

Thanks TJ! "Spaceballs" is so blasphemously over-the-top, I just can't. |

Worked with foam and Sintra, but never worbla. Definitely understand the challenge in it, though. |
