Sith Warrior - Star Wars The Old Republic
 |
| ||||||
Information
| A Sith warrior from the upcoming Old Republic game by Bioware. To be paired with PhantomShadow and his Jedi on the Sunday of Expo for the Masquerade in the elites catagory and Eternal_Aranel with her Jedi on the Saturday. This game is yet to be realised and as such only screenshots and art have been realised. While I am using designs and such the armour is largely of my design and tbh Im making it up as I go along XD seems fitting for an mmo game based cosplay tbh. Hopefully the end result will be good. |

Lovely work on the robe, it hangs beautifully!
Thank you I still have to shorten it slightly so it doesn't drag so much.
Looking Cool right now dude! Wondering if you'll pull it out For October Next Year... got something Special planned and DEFINITELY requires Sith..
Unfortunately this will be my last expo for a while. The group has decided to give them up and concentrate on cons from now on. But you never know.
Thats fine I guess I'll still be around for Con's depending on where though
Mainly Kitacon Ayacon/Amecon
looking good!, wondering what you used to make the pattern and detailing on your chest armour?
The detailing in engraved free hand into the armour using a dremel.
Looking forward to this! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. ... Sorry.
looking good man, i will have to track you down for a photo
Ill be about Sat and Sun of Expo all plans staying the same. :D
the chest armor seems very difficult to make. What is the material of the armor? Is there foam in it? How could you make it so muscle-like?
Hey Elle, The armour is made out of EVA foam, which you can buy from places as thin sheets BUT I have opted for using interlocking floor tiles used in gyms and such. It requires a lot of messing around tbh. First you have to template what you want, remembering that once the foam is heated it will shrink slightly and bending it reduces the length. The a heat gun is required to heat the foam to shape it, being very careful not to burn yourself (the heat gun is set to 600c), then hot glue the parts together. Adding clips and such to make it wearable. Adding layers for detail. Adding detail using a dremel and such. Basically patience and a little know how with some added common sence.

Nice work, the robe looks really neat, I love the lines..reminds me of Mauls outfit. Hope I spot you around Expo. Which day will this be?
Thanks the robe was a pure fluke it came out that good tbh. The expensive material helps though. Will be for both days.
..is the fabric raw silk??
I have heavy wool flannel for the cloak which is as close as the real thing used as I could get.
Yeah it does look good. :)
DUDE this looks so awesome so far :) was thinking of doing Darth Malges from this game some time next year.
Darth Malgus!!!!! YES!!!! You NEED to do it!
<3
duuuuuuuuuuuude XD
SHINY
Wow, the progress on this looks amazing! :D
Thanks guys hopefully to be mostly finished by Sunday
Been following your progress for a while, it's looking excellent :) I was just wondering what kind of paint/methods you used on the foam to get that effect?
Ive been painting warhammer for like 15 years or something so I just used exactly the same methods on this. I make up a basic darkish grey for a base coat. I used an airbrush to apply this for quickness and smooth evenness. Then mixed up a lighter grey and used the dry brushing method all over. This will give the weathered effect. Then uing a flat large brush I used a modified dry brishing method using more paint than the normal dry brush method to work on the silver for the worn away look. Took a lot of time and effort but I think the overall look has come out really well. The paints are simple acrylics.
this is looking great so far! i really like your paintwork
Looking amazing ^_^ Hope to see it in person over the weekend! 8D Gonna be looking out for that sick paint job. -Phi
