[quote=”Trini_T”]Grimepoch, costume sounds great! It also sounds like you’ve been to D.C. before. You do know about the parade and the Masquarade? HDS is organizing all the LEXX costumed people together for those events, if you’re interested. And BTW- he’s a great guy, (unless you dis his stuff 😉 ) he just got you confused with someone who was on the arrogant side…actually I was a little confused by it all, too! Just a strange coincidence.No hard feelings![/quote]
Never been before, this will be my first time! Although one of the people I am going with has been there MANY times, she’s on one of the panels. She is directing a video for one of my songs and she is going to talk about it at the panel. My band (which includes just me) is enc0der, you can hear some of the stuff at http://homepage.mac.com/grimepoch
I definately want to meet HDS, I really thought his work was great! Depending on if he likes my prince costume when it’s done, I’d love to be involved with some of the stuff 🙂 I am not sure of my entire schedule as I’d like to see lots of people, but, I am certainly down with supporting lexx! 🙂 (Plus, I am so hoping to get a picture of me next to Xenia just to make all my friends jealous 😉 )
[quote=”HisDivineShadow”]Not a problem, even if you didnt like my Kai costume =p
[quote]Oh, that wasn’t me. I personally thought your Kai outfit was great. I could see the work you put into it. All of them were great!

YEs, I would think italian leather. I have a pair of them and they look about the same feel. I’m sorry that’s all the shots I have. The top part mimics the bat wing by his head, so your going to have to improvise.
[quote]I’ve been searching for days, I am getting much closer. That and the jacket seem to be the two most important parts for me. I’m just about tired of looking at boots and trenchcoats, I’ll tell you that!

The zipper is still there, it has a zipper flap that the cord was stitched to. Other mod is that the pants are cut at just below the knee.
[quote]Yeah, I read something about a cod piece, I don’t know if that just refers to the fabric sewn on. That other guy posted some great details about the paint they used. I’ve dry brushed before so that shouldn’t be hard. I think I might have asked this, but how thick is the jean fabric? Like Levi’s are pretty thick, is it thinlike?
Also, the wing on the back, I’ll cross that bridge when I get there, not worried about that one. Everything else is so much work to get 90-100% accurate, so I am trying for that first. Worst comes to worst, I just make it so it doesn’t lift up 🙂
Alright, back to searching 🙂
Yeah, I realized that we were probably in the wrong forum, but I figured the thread already started, I’d just stay here 🙂
And no, I won’t be accompanied by any Lexx females 🙂 The only females I will be accompanied with are my friends who are either talking on one of the panels, or dressed up as super heros 🙂
And you know, there was method to my madness 😉 I picked the prince outfit because that man just rocks! 🙂
Is there a way for me to move this topic to the other forum?
[quote=”Trini_T”]:cry: [i]NOW[/i] there’s a Prince? Now after I blew the chance to have a HDS made May costume! Shoot me now!!! I had a feeling I would regret not going thru with it. Grimepoch! Where were you a couple of months ago?!! Thanks alot pal! (j/k)
Hopefully someone will still show up as May–she was my favorite character in S3…very intriguing.[/quote]Haha, well to be honest, I hadn’t seen all of season 3 yet (just finished it last week). I had watched S1 and S2 many many times. After finishing that series I was just amazed with Nigel’s character. Plus, I am tall and have short bleached out hair. The only thing I won’t do is remove my eyebrow ring and earrings, the hassle of putting those back in would be too great. 🙂
First, thanks for those shots. I think this is doable, so I have begun setting my friends on the task of hunting down all that I need. Plus. I have a few good resources; one that does a lot of leather work and another than can sew real well, now for my follow up questions 🙂
Boots: They don’t look like they are going to be that hard now that I see the picture. Can you get me a shot of the top piece from the front and the boots from the back. It will help be dimension it better and also get the straps correctly. Looks almost like italian leather, softer.
Pants: What mods were done other than the chording in the front. It also looks like the jean material is thin. I don’t see a spot for a zipper from that shot. Are the pockets all still there. I think the version of the pants I want to make are from the first few episodes. and I think they were a dark gray color, going to have to check. Wondering if it is the same sort of mod or if they used different type of pants. Can you get some closeups of the front zipper area?
Jacket: I figured that is what they had done, after looking at it. The material looks thin, is that the case? Also, can you get some shots of the sleeves, they are hard to capture off of the film and I want to see how to do the studs in that area. I will spend some time watching them again and take some shots so I understand how the coat is made more. A closeup of the cording would just help me see how they fit it into the trench.
Shirt: I figured that would be the easiest piece to get! 🙂
The wing I knew I’d have to make. That part is going to take the logest as I am going to attempt to make it flair up. We’ll see how that goes. I have a friend who is going as wolverine who is REAL good with movement parts.
My last question, do you know a good way to get the aged dirty look and highlihting without actually wearing it for four years? 🙂
Again, thanks for all this information. Without all this, I don’t think I would have been able to do this!
Great! So the beach outfit to me looked very similar just different colors. I guess I am wondering if there are any brand names in any of the components of the costume, like where to get those boots. The first two things I wanted to check on was the jacket and the boots. Are they custom made? Are the base parts something I can buy?
And again, thanks a bunch! I decided to do this last minute so I am hurrying trying to figure everything out.
