I definitely agree.
With the new references seen here, we can see that the helmets are worn significantly less than they appear in Rebels. They don't actually appear at all in the comic, so it would make sense to move them to an optional accessory for the Cadet CRL as a whole.

I cant remember, and I might be wrong, but perhaps @rattleandburn or @Tentayena may be taking commissions on Rebels Thrawn uniform? Be warned, I could be completely wrong there though.
That would definitely be @rattleandburn lmao
She made my First Order LT. though, and her quality is absolutely stunning~
As a fellow chiss costumer, however, I'm IN LOVE with those contacts though!!
Do they impair your vision at all? -
I absolutely loved it
I think it helped that if, a year ago, I was asked what I wanted from TLJ, what I said lined up pretty dang close to what actually happened. I loved the extra screen time to some of my favs, the references I got for costumes I want to build, and just more development for both sides of the war in general. Some of the parallels that they threw in were spot on, and I was in tears multiple times on the first night.
The humor was a bit jarring at first, ( I asked my partner several times if a joke had just happened because I couldn't believe I had heard that) but I really did enjoy the jokes.
My literal only complaint was how long it was, because I kept almost falling asleep. But I think that's what happens when you're chronically ill and try to stay up past 11pm lol

I believe there was already a draft started for this particular build in one of the threads in the First Order Officers section, if someone wants to grab that and migrate it over in this direction.
Mobile absolutely hates me or I would x.x -
We got a look at the new Thrawn comic today, which appears to be set to release on February 7th, 2018.
Featuring Thrawn's Very Majestic Hair, and the first look at Eli Vanto!

It's set to be a 6 issue series, and I, for one, am very excited about the costuming possibilities that this will lead to.

Okay, I'm actually home now, and can say MORE WORDS
With PICTURES

First thing I'm seeing, we have reference images showing that the edges of the rank bands are actually embroidered. I have not looked closely at the Major or the Colonel, but the General and Lt. were both embroidered. I'm of the opinion that piping should be allowed for L1, and embroidery for L2
For example, we have this image of the General rank bands, which indicate they aren't as solid as you would see with piping, and the seam lines are pretty obvious
Which would look like this close up
(this is from someone's costume, not the film, just using it demonstrate the stitch lines!)

I'm still looking specifically on the teal uniforms, but I do know that both the General and the Lt. both have this seam directly underneath the rank bands
EDIT: of course right after i hit submit, i actually see the cuff seam on the picture. It does appear to be under the rank band, like the rest of them!
First Order is Extra.
But yes!! This is such a good start, I'm so happy to see more work being done on these guys~~ -

I am personally not as fond of allowing equestrian for FO L1, but it is by no means something I am hung on that makes me lose sleep.
I have to say I'm in agreement there. The FO officers have plenty of good references for the boots and the seams, zippers, sole, and toe differ wildly from the equestrian boots that are clearable for OT officers.
Imperial Boots currently offers a good option for them, I know Gio has been approached about FO officer boots and gave a fairly similar price, and I've been a part of a discussion of doing a custom run of boots for tiny humans with tiny feet.
When we were working on the FO Lieutenant crl, it was actually something we discussed and that's why it wasn't in the draft that was sent along!!

Tickets and fancy Alamo glasses acquired~~
SO excited to see more First Order officers on screen -
@rattleandburn posted a great guide on the different types of makeup for Thrawn!
Definitely would go for one of the higher quality, alcohol activated brands to reduce the rub off on the white uniform though -
@rattleandburn Your Thrawn is on point <3

I don’t truthfully see the need for a ‘safe’ version of the epaulettes. It would be like saying that officer belts are also dangerous for children because they are metal and have sharper edges. General common sense seems to dictate that they would be dulled so you wouldn’t cut your hand open and bleed all over the white uniform
Like Vanya suggested up there, there are tons of different ways to make these.
For crl purposes, maybe we don’t have a level 2 certification? The legends Thrawn doesn’t, which allows for both softer and more realistic versions of the epaulettes

I also raised a question to Mark as in shading is being used to hollow out and make his gaunt look. Some of us have a natural look of long face, high cheekbones and hollow face. Would we still need to use shading which would create a very unnatural look? We are trying to make him human while not still cartoon with shading he will look cartoon with us.
Personal opinion, but I still say yes
Thrawn /isn't/ human. Certain aspects of the chiss species, as depicted by Rebels (the curved browbone lines and very sharp cheekbones, in this case) need to be present in the makeup. And when you put on the blue, it has a tendency to subdue a lot of the face's natural contuors. It's very much like how you add highlights and such after putting on foundation
If your face shape has these features, I would say less contour would be needed. But it isn't something that I believe should be optional. Especially with that forehead of his, lol -
Thank you so much for addressing this
We appreciate you and all the work you and your team do <3- rattleandburn, Speigel and Vanto

The thing is, I think MOST of us were waiting for a crl draft or an updated WIP
I know I was. I was approved so late in the game and didn’t start really lurking here until late may. Dragging up old things that never seemed to reach a consensus didn’t seem smart, and every other CRL thread I’ve lurked on has posted a revised version before going live
Regardless, the points above are worth discussing, especially with the references provided to improve the crl itself.

It's still a matter of the concept though
A person in the real world cannot photoshop themselves blue and go walk around
Being blue is necessary for being able to properly portray Thrawn
Some amount of makeup skill is required to troop in this costume
Why does the CRL model not reflect this?

I'm planning on making cadet Eli Vanto for Awesomecon next month, and I know a few others are interested in it as well. Definitely something we can start working on!!
