QRT with the piece you're proudest of for 2024

it’s not a complex one, but i’ve wanted to do this costume since i saw it on the page and i’m so happy with the result!! plus it’s one of my cheaper builds, and it makes me feel powerful to wear it 🌱

big show today, fighting in my new sith kit for the first time! fabrics aren’t too visible in this shot but the tunics are made of linen-look fabric and the obi/tabards are cotton gauze. really enjoyed going for different textures to give interest to a completely black ensemble

WE ARE SO BACK!!! i’ll say it again: visions is one of the most important star wars properties because it values originality, where the stories are not bound by existing characters or even “canon” lore. i absolutely can’t wait to see these new and fresh stories we’re about to get.
