Hey again .. It's Miss Darth Maul time!

So I haven't posted in a very long time. Would you like to see what has taken up all my time?

This......

Sexy Darth Maul Lady

I have been doing a lot of sewing, sculpting and body make up investigation.
I even did some Light Saber practice with a juggling teacher!

This make up takes about 1.5 hours to put on and even longer to take off!

I cut and styled a wig I bought off ebay then sculpted the horns from sculpy and painted them.
I then sewed them into the wig. (that was the most annoying part)

Thrawn and Darth Maul!

 The great thing about wearing an awesome costume is you get to meet other people wearing great costumes.

Miss Darth Maul vs Assassins Creed!

So a lot of my time has been taken up by costuming but also by moving house and relationships and changing jobs and all that stuff! I may post a bit about it later but soon I will be posting more costumes :)

Hope you are all good!

Sexy Star Wars is Sexy - Darth Talon

Oh look it's my good friend Kendall! She is dressed (and I use the term loosely haha) as Darth Talon from the Star Wars extended universe.

Kendall and I are both joining the 501st (A group of people who dress up as characters from Star Wars but only the Empires side) The guidelines are pretty strict on the costumes as they often get paid to go to events like DVD launches, movie launches and all (they donate any money they get paid to charity)

I had to help Kendall out as her costume is mostly her body painted red and black. Hahaha.
We had to do this three times before she was approved (as this was the first time anyone has completed a Darth Talon costume for the 501st in THE WHOLE WORLD and they kept saying to change the tattoos)

We got a drill down pat after the third time. First, paint Kendall red with body paint and a roller (like you paint your walls with) let that dry.
Second, using stencils and an airgun paint on the tattoos (also using body paint)
Third stick on Kendalls lekku (the head tentacles) with prosthetic glue and stuff. paint her face red and black. Fourth put on her outfit.

It was a lot of fun even tho it took forever! It was great to get to do most of the work as Kendall had to stand still to avoid smudging herself. It was a great lesson in air brushing, dealing with people being still for a long time and the importance of how you cut out your stencils.

I took all the photos also and we really happy with how they turned out, esp the one above!

Of course as the 501st is primarily fun and silly we had to have the obligatory Sith Lord Darth Talon doing something mundane.
