Yuko Generic Jedi WIP

[Yuko ()]

Not sure if this is where I need to post my WIP if it's not I apologize in advance.

Slowly getting started on a generic Jedi. I'm slowly gathering things together I have materials/color few patterns and oversize hooded cloak. I still need a belt ((with extra stuff on it)), not sure if I can use my black dirty Mando boots lol and looking into a lightsaber.

-----

Now on the 'hard part' picking the color

Ok so this time around it wasn't that bad lol

From looking at the color chart:



I instantly decided to go with the far right side. With what looks like silver to dark gray/black area. More specifically the three-color I'm looking to use is:

Light gray ((almost a silver look))

Dark gray

Black

belt and boots will be black

Cloak black

----

Material:

This is for what's color going to what and also to show the material and see if it's ok to use. The material for the jedi out fit is Polyester cotton.

The cloak is Polyester the only material that's a little heavy than the other materials. It can get a little hot but it's perfect for cold weather lol

Inner Tunic/wrap around waist part of the obi

I like to use the silver for my Inner Tunic and for the wrap-around part of the obi ((If that's allowed))



Was also thinking for part of the obi that wrap around the waist if I could use this?




Outer Tunic:

Looking to use the dark gray for the outer tunic.



I was debating on either having sleeves on either the inner tunic ((silver)) or the outer tunic ((dark gray))

If I did it with the inner tunic the color would be silver inner dark gray outer with silver sleeves. Or if I did the other way would be silver inner dark gray outer plus dark gray sleeves.

I honestly like both ideas but I'm leaning towards the last idea.

pants/Y Part of the obi:



Like to use the black material for the pants and the Y part going down the front of the Jedi outfit ((If that's allowed))


Cloak:







This was made a while back when I was in high school. It was mainly used for Harry Potter wizarding cloak lol Decided that I could use it instead of having it collect dust.. or more dust. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to use it or not. If it's good then I think I need to modify the sleeves? I'm not sure about that.

I also have a fastener on the cloak:



Again not sure if that's allowed either

Boots:





A dirty version of the boot





Not sure if I'm allowed to use these

Patterns:

These are the patterns I'm looking at right now. For both outer and inner tunic









I will be using some of the tutorials that are on here for the obi and maybe if there's a better version of the tunic.

I'm debating on making a belt and some of the things I need on it or waiting for a good deal and buying one. Also waiting for Dallas Fan days to talk to ultra saber about getting a saber lol

Soo that's about all I have right now sorry this turn out to be a lot longer then I thought it would be. I can't wait to start

Light Grey Inner Tunic and Obi with a Dark Grey Outer Tunic is just fine. If you're interested in lightsaber choreography, though, bear in mind that Saber Guild has a narrower set of acceptable tunic colors--brown, cream, tan, or olive drab. It's a bit broader for Inner Tunic, Tabards, and Obi, but still some distinct constraints. They want it immediately obvious who is the Good Guy and the Bad Guy!

FYI there is no "wrap around part of the Obi." That's all an Obi is, a wide sash that goes around the waist.

The fish scale material would probably not be acceptable for the Obi. You might get away with it if you made a Mon Calamari or Selkath Jedi ;-)

The cloak is not acceptable for Jedi use. The clasp is not approvable, it's too short, the hood is too small and the way it's assembled is all wrong. Sorry Also, Jedi costumes are a lot of layers. Even if you go with a dickey-style Inner Tunic, around your waist and belly and back is still multiple thicknesses of cloth. It gets HOT. Cloaks that don't breathe are pretty hard to wear for a long time.

If done correctly, yes, you can be a jedi puppy:
http://www.forum.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1120496#1120496
Note, how much effort it is. I consider this the same difficulty as a wookie, but with much less resources/info available.
For RL acceptance, I doubt that you can get away with 50$ mask. This needs to be professional grade mask, paws etc.

If you look up the mask that Mr. Kookaburra got for you can look it up online and find it for $39.99 so almost $40 pluss tax. He modify it with new fur ((which looks cool ))

Of course depends on where you get the mask from. But it's not suppre expensive.

We troop around kids I was thinking of something that wouldn't 'scare the snot' out of them. I don't want to give them nightmares.

So was looking for something that didn't have that kind of effec that's why I post those two in the last post. Though if the mask from the link is acceptable then this could probably work but again I'm worried it might scare the kids Which again not what I'm trying to do.

Decided to work on outfit first and then get the wolf head a bit later. I change the color idea I'm still using the light silver gray as my inner tunic, I change the outter tunic to a subdued eggplant color. I change the obi & tabards to dark gray, if I have enough of that color left might use dark gray for pants if not then I'll use black.

Putting the colors together it looks like it works well:

Outter tunic color with the inner tunic color:



Outter tunic color with obi & Tabards color:




Update on the outfit:

Working on outter tunic. Got it cut out got the arms swen on had to tuck it in a few times but starting to come together. Wanted to check on the length see if it's good.

I'm no tailor, so I may be wrong with my opinion:
Common concept for the outer tunic is to separate it into main part and a skirt. Skirt is 1:1 with the main part at waist and wider at the bottom, giving nice form and some dynamics during movement. The seam between upper and lower part can be easily covered with the obi.

Regarding color scheme - in my case, the decisive factor were boots. I wanted brown, so I got brown boots. Automatically, I needed brown belt.
I think different distinct color for each part is a bit over the top, so I decided to use neutral, "weak" tones on other parts. Add your hair and skin tone to the composition.
Here you have some examples of re-using a color or mixing similar tones:

Is there an example of a Jedi skirt? Because I keep thinking a woman skirt.

Also just in case is there another way to do the bottom part that does not involve a skirt?

The tunic dose flair out at the bottom. According to URL have length between knee and mid thigh for the tunic. This one will be at my knew once seam at the bottom.

Here are my pattern pieces for my Mace Windu Outer Tunic. As you can see, the front is 2 pieces. So there should be a seam at the waist. Hope that helps.

Looking at belts and was wondering if I can use this?

This belt would be the "old Ben Kenobi" style?
Yes, that would work, with a proper (faked) buckle.
For the prequel trilogy belts, it seems to me that it is too wide for the narrow belt, but too narrow for the wide belt.

[Dangams (David)]

How wide is the belt? Unless you're very short, we suggest a minimum width of 2" for Jedi belts, both PT and OT styles.
