![]() So it all came together pretty well and we worried about the next thing on our list! So I did my best and pencilled everything in lightly until I felt it was perfect… enough…. Unlike Kanan’s armor I felt her paint and design should be deliberate and beautiful as if it was painted by an artist… The designs and stenciling were the most challenging and I felt they were very important to the armor. I liked the idea but I didn’t like how the weathering comes out very chunky and unnaturally clean….īuuuuut at the time I didn’t know any better techniques so I went with it. I had heard of this toothpaste weathering technique where once you’re done painting you wipe off the toothpaste and are left with weathered minty fresh armor! Thanks to our Mandalorian friend we had a set of armor to start with. Any skill you can pick up will make costuming that much easier and cheaper! My biggest obstacle right now is sewing but I’m trying to improve every chance I get! The Bootsįinally found a great pair and hit it with paint splatters! Sabine has some painting to do that’s easy and fun! The Armor I did my best to go watch how he patterned and made everything so that I could learn how to make my own in the future. Showed the designs to another costumer and he was able to whip us up a pretty perfect belt. You don’t want to miss an event because an important piece of your costume wasn’t ready when your seamstress said it would be. In this case we took it to a professional who said it would be done Tuesday and we picked it up Tuesday. While there are lots out there that have the skill to make what you need, the honesty in pricing, and timing is very important to us. Once again I need to stress how important it is to find a good seamstress. The ShirtĪfter learning my lesson with those pants the shirt went to a seamstress and they both came back perfectly. Since she actually knew what she was doing everything came out much better. Had to go out and buy some more but this time we took them to a seamstress. So I cut them apart and tried to sew them together… After searching for so long for brown leggings for Aayla Secura, I had an easier time finding these ones since I already knew where to look. We grabbed a few pairs of fitted leggings in the colors we needed. The boots were a pain but we found some decent cheap ones.Which pretty much covered everything…. Picked up some cheap rubies Westars and some athletic shirts and pants to try to Frankenstein into her paneled clothing. A Mandalorian Merc friend of our offered to form us up some armor pieces so I wouldn’t immediately have to learn how to heat form. I hit my thrift stores and looked at all the spray paints around. The base color was a bit hard to nail down because in some lights it looks more purplish, other times more reddish, and sometimes a bit more pinkish, and getting that to tie it all together would be important. I pieced it together the best I could and made my list.Īnd of course getting the paint job right was going to make or break this armor so I started looking for all the colors I’d need. ![]() We had to guess how much was changes and how much was artist interpretation but with so little to work with it was hard to throw anything out. Here I can see it’s a starbird but the outlines are hard to make out.Īnd that’s not even the addressing trying to get a clear shot of her shoulder anooba! … Here she has the starbird but it almost looks metallic and golden. Like in this image she has a lightning bolt on her left chest armor piece. There were many differences from renders and concepts especially concerning her designs…. Grabbed everything I could, which in Sabine’s particular case led to a lot of issues. We caught our first glimpse of something we’ve never had in Star Wars before.Īt the time she had the same haircut and she basically fit the character look perfectly already!Īs I said before (In Kanan’s Costume Journey) we built our costumes before Star Wars Rebels aired so once again, pulling apart this video was pretty much all the reference I had to work from.
