Star Wars Physics isn't earth physics. There's a great load of sound in space in Star Wars. In real life, those explosions make no sound unless your helmet is physically touched by them, of course, they wouldn't be nearly as bright either.
Sounds like you've got the right plan, keep your Ruu and the App Team in the loop on the changes
Also, we have no costume judges. That's an RL/501st thing. We have the App Team.
Okay, I went dormant for a while and, now, I am behind, sadly, lol! This sucks! I'm so stinking tired and DONE with this head, for a bit, until I can look at it again, with fresh eyes. So, here she is, struggling with a Big Cat head-shape, but making the head look smaller. I was concerned that a helmet was not going to fit over this head because the snout was MASSIVE. Well, I don't know what the heck I didn't just hack off the nose in the first place. This is only my third, tinier head that I've ever constructed with a realistic profile, but it's human sized and not like my past work. I'm struggling to adjust my natural urge to build stuff BIG. But I do it, anyways and then cut it down. So, have no fear, she is going to look like a cat.
As much as I don't want to bring this up, are the ears too long? I ask you WHY are they too long and I will explain why I made them that long and it's not JUST because i like longer ears....well...not ENTIRELY, but fur adds volume or it hides and makes a shape buffer or bigger so it doesn't look so immediately distinguishable and small. With her cheek fluff she will have, it will hide the base of the ears, thus, making them appear shorter than they actually are. Her head "Fluff" I will add, will also bush-up her head shape and it will also counter the rise of the ears. I very much know it is hard for you guys to understand or see this, because you are not familiar with how a creature costume finishes when it comes to the fur. People have to build bigger or smaller on purpose than the finished result they want so the finished result looks correct.
Now, if you think I should clip them down, anyways, I can, because I want to follow the rules. I'm terrible scared I might not like the result of the head once it's completely finished, though, but that's my personal fight and problem, not yours, so I wouldn't be blaming you guys for wanting and helping me to make this as accurate as possible. I'm a picky artist on a lot of things, but the fur-thing, I do really mean and it's not a personal thing, it's a costume fact, for these types of costumes. It's your call, though, APP Team!
