As in regards to blue skin:  The CRL says/will say "All exposed skin is colored a light to medium blue."  It doesn't say what method/medium all skin must be colored with.
 
That is:  If you can do something clever with gloves that don't look like gloves and that match the tone of the face, go for it.  If you can do something clever with makeup that allows you not to have anything rub off, go for it.
 
 

I think what you made is awesome, and I also think thoroughly within the level 2 requirements.

L1 is there to be reasonable. Lots of folks can get their hands on these easily, and while 3D printing is handy, is still not available to all.

You do know that even saying semi-rigid, a very high degree of leniency and range of flexibility is built in?   My definition of semi-rigid is possibly not the same as another person's which is different from yours which is different from hers.  I would consider an embroidered cloth patch as semi-rigid for example.
 
The shoulder bars have a very specific three dimensional design and look.  Very clean, sharp lines with a definite thickness.  You can achieve that with cloth, go for it.  I will hazard a guess that I will describe what you produce as "semi-rigid" even if it moves and bends.
 
What you do not want to do and what is not desired is blurred and soft lines, flat floppiness or lumpy corners.  However, we do not (or should not, and yes, I am aware some older ones do) define CRL's with what things are not.  We define them as what they are.
 
I'll close with:  the debate with how cartoons are translated into CRL's will last as long as there are costumers who reproduce things out of said cartoons (and comics, for that matter).  At some point, we need to ensure that people aren't waiting forever unapproved whilst said debate goes on as well as do justice to the costume references.  Are we perfect?  Nope?  Will everyone agree/be happy?  Nope.  Do we still try to do the very best we can?  Yep.
 
Speaking of which ... until folks actually post up submissions for the requested CRL pictures ... this CRL will remain unpublished.  So.  If you know folks with outstanding examples of Rebels Thrawn, encourage them to submit their photos for consideration.  >>>> http://www.imperialofficer.com/forum/index.php?/topic/8723-rebels-thrawn-crl-pics/
 
 
 

I very much agree. With all your points. I guess semirigidness is a broad term. I don't know of any other Rebels Thrawn costumes but I am in the process of making my own. I believe I can achieve this look.

Post the original raw photo please.
 
Any background removal will be processed after pictures have been chosen.

I think we have a winner!!
 

Awesome. I can try to take a back photo tonight if I can 

I am skinny!!!  

Homie is skinny! Not much one can do about that! My belt is also barely clinging on, but for opposite reasons! Lol

@Rhaethe New photos have been taken. I've ensured that the white collar didnt stick up, and we tried out best to get a "level" photo. Im hoping that these photos will suffice
 


 

Ah yes, I noticed the collar as well. I can try and take some better photos tonight. 

@Rhaethe I have a big announcement Everyone!!! My straight legged olive-green trousers came in from CosplaySky today, and Ive finally put the last piece of my Imperial Science Officer uniform together. I am hoping that, along with the draft CRL that I posted in the first post of this thread, and the pictures of the individual pieces for the push button rank bars, silver clip code cylinders and Chelsea boots that I have, we can get this CRL wrapped up!!
 



 
Here are some photos!!

This CRL has come back from our Head LMO with the final edits and polish made.  What you will find below is what will be published.   Do understand that all commentary on this thread (as well as all that sent in privately, which I would like to curtail for sanity's sake   ) has been read and considered.  Lots of thoughts are present on this character, and lots opinions strongly held.  None of them were discounted.  
 
Important things to note follow. Read carefully.
 
L2/L3 req review is up to the IOC Staff in charge of that program.  What stands copied below is what was approved by said CStaff.  This does not mean that the L2/L3 reqs will never get changed.  This does mean that any discussion and push to change them needs to occur with the appropriate folks in a fresh new conversation.
 
Battle Gear text has been removed.  Removing it does not not mean Rebels Thrawn in armor can't be done.  Rebels Thrawn in armor can be done.  But, the actual CRL text for it will be re-visited once someone actually makes a set, and it is highly encouraged to open up a separate WIP thread for it.  
 
Where it shows "Image Needed", new images will be needed.  Until those images are procured, this CRL will remain in an unpublished state, with no new applicants available to be approved.  Obtaining and choosing these images is the responsibility of the IOC detachment.  IOC XO will post here soon, explaining how they want that to go.  Images must be high definition, clear, and show everything of the item/costume in frame.
 
Images needed will be:  
Full Model, front and back.  No fancy posing, please.

In the page below, items listed in blue are optional features that will improve the quality of the costume. Items listed in red are intended to further enhance the finished costume. Level 3 clearance submissions should match the configuration of an 'on screen' / named officer. 
For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.
This CRL is a work in progress. As such, this costume must be approved by the Legion Membership Officer, via the appropriate section of the Legion forum. If you have this costume and would like to assist with the completion of this library entry, please contact your detachment leader. Please note that the use of the word "should" below does not indicate that the armor piece is considered open to interpretation. All instances of "should be" and "should have" will be replaced with "is" and "has", as this guide is completed. Required Costume Components The following costume components are present and appear as described below.
  Hair and Skin Appearance
For 501st approval: All exposed skin is colored a light to medium blue. Hair is dark blue The arching widow's peak is combed back at the sides and top. In the back, the hair is off of the neck. Makeup is contoured and shaded as to give an angular appearance on the cheeks, forehead, and jaw.

For 501st approval: Black in color and constructed from leather or leather like material. When possible the holster is made from same material as the belt. Holster has one belt loop, made of the same material as the holster. The holster is long enough to extend past the hem of the tunic.  
For level two certification (if applicable): The Holster is attached to the belt by a 1/2” metal stud.  
 
  Trousers, White
For 501st approval: Fabric is made from medium to heavy weight white suiting material identical to the tunic. Straight legged in style. Trousers are worn neatly tucked into boots with no blousing. Visible pockets are not allowed.     
Boots
For 501st approval: Knee-high, black, lace-less, smooth non-textured, leather or leather-like material. PVC or synthetic material is allowed as long as it gives the appearance of leather. There are no stretch panels, buckles, snap tabs, or decoration. Boots have conservative heels. If zippers are present, they are hidden on the inner part of the boot shaft, and are not visible from the front, side or back. The top of the boots are flat style.   
For level two certification (if applicable): Boots do not have a zipper. For level three certification (if applicable): Consists of tubular black shin armor sitting over black ankle boots. This is similar to that seen on Agent Kallus, but tighter, without the grey strip, and black soles instead of grey. No visible means of attachment. No visible seam. Finish and shade of shin armor and boots must be identical  
  Optional Accessories Items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present appear as described below.
  Eye Color
For 501st approval: Red theatrical contact lenses. While encouraged to complete the look of this character, the contact lens requirement will be waived for 501st acceptance, if the applicant cannot wear contact lenses for health related reasons. All persons wishing to utilize contact lenses are encouraged to first see their optometrist for a fitting.  
For level two certification (if applicable): The entire eye is red.  
         
Pistol

Right, then.  Myself, another LMO not previously on this project, and also a professional tailor (and my household for that matter, who is about done with the pause/rewind/play/pause/rewind ... ) have watched and re-watched the Rebels episodes with Thrawn in them, as well as looked at the stills and screengrabs and even  Disney posters and promotional material.  Then we wrote down observations, and treated it like the character never existed outside of the show.  Ever.  Much easier said than done.
 
Then we compared against the currently published CRL and gave it an overhaul where needed (if needed).  We also considered the multitudes of member and staff feedbacks sent in to us personally, to the team directly, and posted here in this thread.    The draft was then reviewed by IOC Command Staff and adjustments made again where needed.  While not perfect, we think the basic levels are sensible and achievable, while still adhering to accuracy to the cartoon.  And whilst LMO's do not mandate L2/3 reqs, it is felt that the ones below are sensible overall and do promote higher accuracy while still keeping the costume realistic (as in wearable) and attractive.  Which is hard to do when you are imitating an unrealistic animation.
 
And while we were at it, since we were focusing so hard on the cartoon character and Rebels references only .... we added in an optional accessory set that was found in the references.
 
This has NOT been published, yet.  I'm gathering the last little bit of commentary for the next day or so before sending this off for final peer review, edits, and publishing.  I do not expect any major changes from what is presented here, however.
 
Once published, I imagine IOC will start taking submissions for new images where new images say they are needed.

Thank you! I couldn't think of the material's name for the life of me.

Lip makeup wording we can readjust.
 
The main aim of that line is/was to steer folks away from what is seen more often than I would like ... and that is what looks like dark blue lipstick.  Might just reword that line to simply say that ... Blue lipstick should not be used.  Will ponder.
 
Having done colored makeup before, I know that a thinner layer of the same thing I am using on my face on my lips produces that fleshy grey pink undertone under the color that you see in the Thrawn animation.  So I know it is attainable.  Where to place that and how to word, we will discuss before publishing.
 
I will be sending this up the chain to start the publishing process tomorrow.
 
IOC will be taking submissions for the images needing replacement after.

I have placed this costume on the LMO / IOC worklist as Rogue One Imperial Science Officer.

The new CRL looks good to me! Solid compromises among all the issues that were brought forward.
