WIP: Kela'ya, the temple guard
Added 2024-03-24 17:00:09 +0000 UTCYeah.. this is what I do instead of studying.. at least for 30 minutes today :D
Kela'ya, my temple guard jedi OC, was made kind of as a small project, because I got this beautiful lightsaber from Kenjosabers and decided it needed a character to go with. And since I already knew that I wanted to reuse Lillix' lekku for a jedi sometime it was the perfect opportunity.
The headband base without the silver metal piece I'd already crafted earlier, but didn't like the look of it that much, but with the added metal/jewelry I love it!
I made the tabbards from fabric I had left from my jedi robe, because I liked the matching colors.
The belt is actually an old guitar strap of my father, it's made out of really soft velvety suede and I love that I could incorporate it in a costume :))) I've had it for years now, because even back then I thought, hey this could make such a great jedi belt!
I sewed a simple pair of leggings and paired Aurra Sing's boots with them.
The tunic was kind of a more difficult piece, 1. I wasn't sure if I wanted sleeves or not, 2. I wanted it to be as flattering as possible :D But I am really proud how clean it turned out!
I also made some pieces for the arms, gloves and armbands out of leftover Shaak Ti and headband fabric to match colors again.
I was quite pleased with the whole costume toghether, but I might add some more detail in the future.. thought about some metal pieces on the tabbards and boots maybe...
Second to last is me trying out contacts, I nearly went for the blue ones, but Phil said the other ones would fit better and he was totally right, because they are perfect for Kela'ya! Actually the green looking contacts are yellow, but with my blue eyes they mix to this really olive shade.
And last one is the makeup and lightsaber with everything else!
