Xenes OC costume WIP
« on: August 16, 2014, 02:04:59 AM »
Finally im starting to work on a costume to go with my epic pariah saber from GG I got months ago (been working a lot so I havent played with it much :( )

Anywho its based off this design (semi loosely)



Please bear in mind I
A)have never done sewing till now and am only getting guidance from my mum
B)still working on my armor making techniques so im trying to keep em simple (for now)

Main materials for the costume are pleather and double pointe cotton

Currently ive complete d the material parts on both vambraces


And partially armored 1




Theme im going with is a jedi tracker/ranger/scout  one who isnt really part of the order an outsider (pariah means outcast pretty much, but since theres already a famous saber called that thats based on that theme and GG slightly altered it to mean different when he did my saber I decided to go with that) the saber itself to me gives off a kind if royal/nobel feel with emitter (and my custom dedigned an prined blade plug) soo I decided to give my chara some fancy armor.

Blade colour is undecided, I wanted to do a gold, but cant get one I like...I have a bright sky blue I like and a nice bright eletric grern\veridian.

Saber is gonna sit horizontally on a holster on the back of my belt I think.

loving that blade plug!
Han Solo describes saber building perfectly: "NO! This one goes here, that one goes there"

Saber building in a nut shell... as described by a smuggler

Great blade holder and plug combination! It looks extremely hot, like a jet exhaust.

Current progress!!

Only bit k needed help with was stitching the collar on, apparently the way the instructions tell you to do it was stupid xD

Otherwise completely sewn by me ^^

Well you seem to things well at hand. The concept sounds soild. The outfit's coming together nicely.

Your pistol's color sounds rocking can't wait to see it. The saber has a royal feel to it. Great plug.

Just a little somthing i whipped up (no patterns) to hold my saber, to my knowledge im the first to do it this way but im probably wrong lol

I just happened to stumble onto this post! Cool outfit! I will be looking forward to what it looks like when it is done. Of course you scored a few brownie points with me because of the fact that green is my favorite color!

But no… me personally… I just started working on my outfit. Been working on my saber & blaster for 2 years, & now doing the outfit. I’ll be swinging by & keeping an eye on this! Cool project!
