Sith costume sketches

[Darth Knox]

So i have spent the day sketching ideas for what I want my Sith outfit to look like. I will probably be ordering it from Twin Rose and use different textures from different materials to create the look. Despite the colour I have used in the sketches, everything will be black, with flashes of red as accents (much red would not work with my character).

Now, if only it was easy to decide which Ultrasaber to get (still narrowing down my options)

Mask
Something special and unique that no-one else has worn before (no advance previews. because )

Tunic - front


Tunic - front (with battle skirt that I will be making out of two old vintage leather jackets)


Tunic - back


Trousers


Boots


Gloves


Sith motto (once my costume is assembled)

I like your direction!

Nice sense of originality, flair, style & most importantly... "Sith" attitude!

Keep me posted on how this develops.

The trousers got delivered yesterday. Have you ever been really excited buying something online, ony, for that enthusiasm to disappear when the article in questions arrives and doesn't look anywhere near as awesome in person as it does online? Well, that's where I am at the moment.   

No biggie. Only a minor set-back, and has helped me refocus my attention as to exactly what I want to do with the costume.

Am still getting those boots (although I will visit the shop in person before purchasing), and already found some basic looking drawstring trousers fairly cheap last night, but the tunic et al is evolving.

Bringing in a few different elements to move away from the tabards, as I think they are more Jedi than Sith.

Will work on some new sketches this evening, once I figure out the best way to incorporate the leather elements I want.

So, just finished my new sketches. Have refined and developed the look I am going for. I will still be getting the boots and gloves above, but different trousers.

Each variation still looks well thought out! Still looking forward to the finalized version!

Thank you. I'll admit, it is a lot of fun doing the research and trying to come up with something unique.
Have decided to add an alien element to this character; going as an Elomin. Should be challenging

Where did you find these at?

Here you go Moahdiche. They have some nice leather stuff available. They are based in Europe which is very convenient for me being in the UK

Admittedly, I had to Google "Elomin" to refresh my memory what they looked like.  

Finding a commercially available mask of that species may be difficult, so If you need to make one from scratch, perhaps this tutorial on Savage Opress will be helpful with the horns concept.

Thanks Lord Ravage. There was a particular reason I chose the Elomin. I bought a mask for Halloween and it fits really well. I'll pm you the link.
