Costume Wish List Take 2

I couldn't just have one post on a wish list. I had to have more costumes I wanted to make/have. I'm going to need a house at some point with a big garage to work on this stuff.

The above image is Kyrisa a nightsister from Dathomir. The nightsister/Sith witches were brought in recently on The Clone Wars. I discovered Kyrisa when I was randomly researching nightsisters awhile ago. She has exceptional skills in controlling beasts. She ends up on Hoth and we all know what is on Hoth. Wampas. And she can control them. I'm the Wampa Handler. Kyrisa controls Wampas and I handle for Rusty the Wampa. Pretty much a given on my part.

Next up is from another movie. Alice from Resident Evil. I always see Jill Valentine being made but rarely see an Alice. The one I'm thinking is from Resident Evil Extinction. I do enjoy the parallels to Alice in Wonderland. I figure this would be a nice one to have for comic conventions.

Next up is from one of my favorite video game franchises. Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Specifically from the newer game that came out in 2011. He has always been one of my favorite characters. This one has been on my mind for awhile to make.

Another one well two that happens to be from 80's cartoons. Jem and She-Ra. Yep I said it Jem and She-Ra. Why not. They were my favs then. Gotta love the 80's anyways.

And one last one until I decide to make a few more. Eric Draven. Yeah off the top of people's heads they may not know that name. But they may know the movie that character is from. The Crow. One of my absolute favorite movies. I know its called a gothic action flix but I think its a chic flix. I'll explain. Guy comes back from the dead to avenger his fiance's death. Chic flix. Well in my head it is. I just think it would be a different costume for me to do.

So here concludes my second wish lists. I'm sure an another week or 2 I will come up with more.

Costume Wish List

Everyone has their own wish lists for different things. Just think about it when you were a kid. I know you all remember those pages of a Christmas lists we all made. Some have their movie wish lists. Game wish lists. Well this is my costume wish list. This is the list of costumes I want to make over the next few years. None of these are including the ones that I already have or in the process of making them. Please check out the links to all of these characters.

First off, is CT-21-0408. But the name that is most known is Echo. He is a clone in Star Wars The Clone Wars. He is my favorite clone in the series from the first moment I saw him in the episode "Rookies." He will always be my favorite. Sadly he met his end in the show. But I will make this costume next.

Next costume, Jaina Solo the daughter of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo. Yeah in case you didn't know it Han and Leia not only got married but had kids 3 in fact. Jaina is a twin to her brother Jaycen who later became a Sith. Jaina is called the Sword of the Jedi. Ever since I started reading the Expanded Universe books Jaina became one of my favorites. She even went to go train with Boba Fett. Yes a Solo trained with Fett.

Next up from a horror movie, Silent Hill. This character well enemy is in the video games as well as the movie. But I will be going with the ones from the movie. I think it would be a fun costume to have on hand for horror conventions.

Next one is an anime character from Naruto. This is my favorite character of the series. It's Gaara. His story gets heartbreaking at times. He has been through so much and is the Kazekage of the Sand Village and that is the costume I chose to make.

Next one is from another horror movie. Saw. More specifically Jigsaw. I had this one at one point in time. But it was just a cheap one I bought. I want to make one. Basically the robe and the weapons under the sleeves. Saw is my favorite horror movie franchise. I even have a jigsaw piece tattoo.

Next up and this will be a big undertaking. We are talking about stilts (no I'm not making my own wampa) and multiple lightsabers. I'm talking about General Grievous. The cyborg general of the Clone Wars. Like I said this will be a big undertaking once I get going with it. Maybe by CVII?

Another New Tattoo

The most recent post that I did about the Litany tattoo became reality. Yes the tattoo I designed Friday night has already been put on my arm. This one went on my left arm. I will have both my half sleeves. My guess is probably within the year I will have the outside of my arms will be done. Then I will start working on the inside of my arms. Probably 2 years total. 3 tops. I have even spoken to the tattoo artist that did this tattoo and my other 2 I did last month. Gave him some ideas and he is on board. June will probably be my next sitting. And without further ado my newest tattoo and by the way I've officially got to the point where I have lost count on how many I have.

Litany Against Fear Tattoo Design

I'm as much a Dune fan as I am a Star Wars fan. I started reading Dune when I was young. Saw the original movie on cable TV. And when I mean original I mean the one from 1984. That's right the one with Sting in it.

There is a quote from the books and the movie that has always stuck in my mind. It is more or less a prayer. It's the Litany Against Fear and this is the whole quote.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dune

Like I said before this has always been on my mind. Everyone has their prayers they use. Instead of one of the more common prayers used, I heard it spoken on TV once and it was not Dune. It was an episode of Law & Order SVU. I don't remember the exact episode or what was going on but it surprised me when that character said the words. I immediately went back and listened more closely and she was repeating the whole Litany.

As some of you know I have been working on doing half sleeves on my arm and what would be a better addition to my sleeves then the Litany. Since the Litany is fairly long I choose one part of it to use in a design. I will face my fear. It sums up the Litany with just 5 words. But of course I can never do anything simple when it comes to my tattoos. I couldn't decide on how or what I wanted it to look like. So instead of describing it I will show it in transformation from text to how it will look on my arm.

SWTOR: My Review

I've never played any MMO games. I'm use to my PS3. I've had several other systems but never really played on the computer. I rarely go online to play a game on the PS3 other then maybe for Little Big Planet or Call of Duty. So Star Wars The Old Republic was an interesting twist for me.

Also I know nothing of the Expanded Universe regarding the Old Republic. I'm a child of the Original Trilogy. I watched the Prequels as they came out and have expanded my knowledge to the Expanded Universe books surrounding these 6 movies and the Clone Wars.

I heard about SWTOR almost 2 years ago on E3. The yearly gaming convention. Several of us hoped it would be cross platform. No dice. At this point I was like no way. I'm not playing it. I don't do MMO's. I like my platformers just fine. Then I kept hearing all about it once it came out. I watched videos and was like okay maybe I would try it.

One day, some kind soul took pity on me and handed me the trial. I downloaded the game. I first watched the opening cinematic. Holy crap! The graphics are gorgeous. I'm like make a movie and make it look like this. Well I have seen a movie that gorgeous and that was Final Fantasy Advent Children.

Then it was time to pick a side. Naturally I choose the dark side. My first character I made was a Sith Warrior. Fail. I couldn't figure out the controls. So I made another character. A Chiss Bounty Hunter. Once again fail. I almost give up. I just couldn't get a handle of the controls. I watched a few tutorial videos and that kind of helped. So I tried one more time. I made my third character a Twi'lek Sith Inquisitor. Bingo! After hitting random buttons, I discovered the right mouse button was useful for something. Translation hitting things with a lightsaber. I slowly started picking up things. Just enough to get by. I ran several missions both dark and light side. I managed to make it to level 7 before my trial ran out. Not to shabby considering I never played an MMO and for the short amount of time I played.

I haven't purchased the game yet but I do plan on getting it soon. I did have fun playing it and I would like to keep trying with all 3 of the characters I made. Plus would like to have more characters as well.
