Title: Femme Steampunk Darth Nihilus
Post by: SteampunkSith on May 05, 2014, 03:16:15 AM
I have completed my Femme Steampunk Darth Nihilus costume!  I debuted it today at a May the 4th Star Wars Art Exhibit.

My costume also includes a black velvet cloak, but it was 90 degrees today, and I was hotter than all get out already (no air conditioning in the warehouse the art show was held in - BRUTAL!)

Anyway, here are photos we took before we headed out the to art show...  I plan to wear it again at Comicpalooza at the end of the month, so I don't know yet if I will add additional Steampunky details to it before then or not.  Such costumes are always evolving and getting added on to.  I know I add on to my Femme Steampunk Han Solo every time I wear it!

And of course, I am carrying my Dark Initiate LE v3, the customization of which I covered here:

You really nailed it! Star Wars yet steampunk, I'm loving it!! Point on the costume, because it rocks... and Nihilus is a sweet villain haracter to portray. And I still LOVE that saber lol.

My wife and I went to the art show too, but we didn't stay long; between the line to get in and the less than optimal climate indoors, we just made a pass through and split.  Too bad I didn't see your costume live, its quite impressive!

Wow, thank you.  That is quite possibly one of the greatest compliments I have ever received.  A thousand thanks!

I was SO FREAKIN' HOT in that warehouse.  I was in there for an hour, and slammed a large cup of water at some point (and i had been loading up on water prior to our arrival).  Regardless, I still got incredibly dehydrated and overheated.  I had a horrible dehydration headache from the time we left until this morning.  Yeah, seriously.

The next time I wear this will be Comicpalooza, which is, thankfully, in the very air conditioned GRB!
