I wore it at Supanova this weekend:






And me in action at around three minutes in:

BTW, how do you stop the makeup from going everywhere? By the end of the day everything that was once black was grey.

Note to self, bring spirit gum along for re-application.

I can't seem to find the pics from your previous version, but if I remember correctly this looks like an improvement over that. I like the look of the top (should the black side panels continue in the back as well?), the skirt, bracers and belt look good too, though I'm not sure if the picture makes the belt look brown.

What kind of makeup are you using? Water based or oil based? In areas where your skin comes in to direct contact with part of your costume, it's hard to get the make up to stay. Personally, I've used water based makeup and then used a fixing spray over top to keep the makeup from rubbing off. Sorry, I've no experience using oil based makeup.

A couple of suggestions I would offer: make sure to paint your hands if not wearing gloves, and for the bald cap I would recommend either using the Pax product Sakara refers to in her bald cap tutorial, or cover the bald cap (and your face) with a good quality foundation before applying the grey makeup.

Nicely done

The Obi-Wan-lookalike stabbing is a really good shot.

And: a TARDIS! Was it bigger on the inside? ^^

The belt is a deep brown, the photos make it look brighter though.
The make up was a pain. I did put it on my hands, but it rubbed off by the end of the day. It's a Kryolan TV stick, doesn't say anything on the label but I'd say it's oil based.
I'll try fixing spray though.

oil based makeup is not the best thing for all day and active costuming as it really mixes fast with the skins own oils and comes off, as you found. Water based is the best cheap option as it last longer ( as long as you prepare the skin with moisterisers and sweat stop.

I notice your top appears to be white...which as was discussed isnt the correct shade for her outfit..i think if yoyu popped it through a grey dye bath is should come out the right colour

I also think that oil-based make-up is very smudging due to the oil base of it, right?

yeah, for long duration of time wearing it, it isnt the best as youd need a thick layer to last and that can be aweful on the skin.

It is looking much better, thanks for sharing the images, hope the event was fun.

Others have noted most of the stuff you could refine, the only thing I would say is the cap on the neck. I know when Ladyb first did hers she didn't use the adhesive on the neck and after shooting for a while her hair began to come out there as it curled a little. Just a little something to hold it there and the makeup suggestions to blend the transition should work great.

A more covering make-up could do wonders, I suppose. On these images (despite that I love the shot of Asajj Ventress before a TARDIS!! ) you could see very clearly what is skin and what is the cap.

By the way: Do anyone know what makeup make blood wounds more realistic? I suppose I can find these things in every store but the topics are here somehow related so I try a shot.

depends on the wound? is it fresh, old, jagged, smooth cut? pm me and i may be able to help.

Looking good. So you didn't say....is the Tardis bigger on the inside

The obi one picture reminded me of some I saw when doing my approval pictures. I had two of our pre-armour Vader's being checky and trying to get me to laugh, but I took care of them in the end:



always need to show those Jedi who's boss.

I hesitate to ask. This could completely destroy my childhood memories. *g*

the real one is! ive seen it!

Phew! Good ol' rusty thing. These Type 40s always got it. *g*

It was bigger on the inside...Because it was placed in front of a door.
