Title: first cosplay as a mon calamari jedi Post by: scythe1980 on June 05, 2014, 08:28:41 AM i recently decided to jump head first into cosplay and set up a mon calamari jedi. turned out greater than expected. i ordered a handcrafted mask from an artist in utah and it made everthing work. i couldn't walk ten paces without being stopped for a series of pictures.
the only problem i had with the mask was a little bit of fogging in the eyes. i'm correcting that for the next time i wear it. in the first pic i had the basic battle saber and the extensions to make it a pike. when i got tired of carrying it around i would remove the hilt and wear it on my belt.

The blue and green go great together for this character in an aquatic way. When I saw the mask the first thing that popped in my head was this character as a sith. The eyes being the red and yellow would look awesome. Very well done, you should be proud of your costume. Point your you.

It looks very realistic and not like a costume at all, except for the eyes on the mask looking weird. Major props to you for this, and a point as well :) the eyes look a bit odd because i was having a problem with them fogging up. the mask surprisingly didn't get hot to wear, but it got humid in it due to my breath.i need to clean them out a bit and seal them completely to prevent that next time i wear it. the mask. if they didn't fog up you would be able to see the green iris and pupil.

Title: Re: first cosplay as a mon calamari jedi Post by: scythe1980 on June 16, 2014, 07:42:18 AM i managed to fix the eyes. replacing the fabric iris with the vinyl worked. this pic was at a local comic book store and i had already been wearing it for a few hours. i also trimmed the webbing from between the thumb and forefinger so that i could manipulate the lightsaber. it needs a bit of cleaning up though.

I was a bit hesitant to click the topic because it might go badly wrong, but you've really done an awesome job! The colours and saber used really suit the Mon Calamari 'style'. Point. :D

Point. :D i really can't take credit for the mask and gloves, an artist by the name of Troy Larson sculpted the mold by hand then hand painted the set. he's starting a free lance creature special effects company out of his garage in utah. here's a link to his site if ya'll are interested. its under construction though http://sevenheadstenhorns.com/index.html#banner (http://sevenheadstenhorns.com/index.html#banner) |
