I basically followed the directions here from the 501st regarding on how to build the costume and swapped stuff out with budget friendly options. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:SL_revan The armour is EVA foam in different thicknesses ranging from about 2-10 mm. The smaller end of that spectrum was used for the mask, straps for the belt ring, gauntlets, armour detailing, and the upper abdomen. The lower abdomen used foam in the middle of that range so about 6 mm. And the chest and back was about 10 mm. The overall prices vary depending on source and location. Fabric I used was pleather for the abs to which I glued over the 2 mm foam, and the sash and shoulder fabric was stuff I found at the fabric store which I think was about $5/m. Boots and gloves came from my Kylo Ren cosplay which were Funtasma boots and the gloves from Xcoser. And the Hakama I got from Wish and metal rings I found at the dollar store were used with key chains and card rings. The cloak I got was sheer luck. I found someone who commissioned me a cloak at a low price out of linen material for $30. I could not believe it. The Lightsaber is a Dark Sentinel v4 from Ultrasabers. It's a plain old stuntsaber in Blazing Red. I went to town on it with some sandpaper to give it that battle worn look.
As someone who is perpetually broke, I can fully appreciate the struggles involved in Creating Something Awesome While Saving A Buck.
I havent done any Cosplay someday i will do a Revan Cosplay too that will be my first Cosplay im glad that other people here want to dress up as that great character
Sidious is a great character too, but I didn’t make my robes. I purchased them at Galaxy’s Edge The only thing I draw the line at is the wrinkly makeup, so I simply wear the hood pulled very low, it’s more mysterious that way.
What a funny comment in a thread dedicated to a dark sider, Revan. Seriously, @Darth Vectivus I hope your costume turns out wonderful when you make it, and that you’ll share images with us. I don’t think I’ve taken a photo wearing one of my own creations in years. Maybe I should do something about that.
I can appreciate a Dark Side costume without wanting one. And yes, I'd love to see the outcome, the creating of a costume is the hardest part but it's so very rewarding.
