So, I just read through your whole concept thread to make sure I was up to speed on what other App Team Members and Ruus'alore have been saying. I'm looking at your most recent concept drawing in a new tab (as suggested
) and the armor meets the basic requirements of the CRLs. You have all the chest armor, shoulder armor, knees, two waist items, a loin cloth, gauntlets, fur as the flightsuit, and a cape to cover the back.
Two things that I was thinking about:
1) The cloth around the neck can't replace a collar; the armor plate still needs to be underneath there.
2) I know that the helmet is going to be a challenge with the facial structure of the Togorian, and I can't really speak to how to design that right now (and if it was me building I wouldn't even know how to tackle it until I completed the actual Togorian head). However, I wanted to throw out there that you could just make a helmet that you wear without the Togorian face underneath at first, and then tackled the face and helmet later on after approval. This whole costume sill still be freaking awesome with the whole body and a helmet.
Thank you, App Team Mandude! Duley noted on those points and yes, she has a collar "plate" this concept just hides because you can't see through clothes, lol.
You are actually on the right track about completing the head, first. I always do the head first for my costumes, as it helps me figure out the sizing and look of the rest of the costume. I tried to start out with creature feet, THEN everything else and that actually was not a great come out. It could have been much more regulated if i would have done the head, first, lol.
From what I've read from other alien builds and apps, if you're starting with the alien body, the helmet would still need to be large enough/shaped to appear to have the Togorian head underneath. I remember this coming up on the Trandoshan Mando -- i.e. you don't have to have your Trandoshan mask on UNDER the helmet, but the helmet needs to look like it could accommodate a Trandoshan head since you have trandoshan hands and feet visible.
Hey, that is kind of how it has to work out, actually, to be frank, so you are spot on! I planned on building the helmet over the finished head, anyways (There's no other way to make it have the head's personal shape!

) and then I could wear both or one or the other. Would love to wear both at the same time, but I am trying to be practical and not too ambitious to achieve that, because, I don't want to actually die to death of heat stroke. When you death to death from heat stroke, your costume has to come off with scissors and stuff. I don't like that too much, lol! But, if I can make it light, which I think I am using the lightest armor there is, this helmet should literally not weight too much and should fit comfortable with it on the head or not over it, I think.
Just amazing ! need to see more
Keep an eye out! In the next day or so I'll get her started over on the physical build forums! I already have the faux fur for the costume bought and all!
