General costume references

Place all content that has no specific references here. Images such as the Sith Snapshots that show the whole suit, stuff like that.

Official reference images:

Sith Snapshot 1:


Note that the black shoulder pauldron is seen in error. Note the bottom edge of it in relation to the position of the shoulder bell. The shoulder bell is "phasing" into the shoulder pauldron, elimitating the bottom edge of the pauldron from view. This has baffled me up until this very moment. Also not the green lenses, and the gray band under the eyes. This IS in Ep3, but due to the naturally poor lighting created on Mygeeto, it's hard to tell much of anything on the GMs in the movie. But studying frame by frame in hi-res does suggest this gray band being there. You can also see the ridges on the right shoulder bell in this photo, as well as the "belt buckles". This is also great reference for the toe armor.

Sith Snapshot 2:


This was offered to us a few months back. This is an unpainted ILM model of the GM as seen in Episode III. This model confirms the existence of the gray band under the eyes of the first Sith Snapshot, and provides a clear-ish image of most of the questionable areas of the suit from the front view. We're also provided with a neat little seam on the helmet cowl. This image also confirms that the shoulder bells are indeed different. The left one appears to be a standard BARC trooper pauldron, while the right one is completely unique to the GM. It also gives us a definite shape for the shoulder pauldrons.

Announcement

I've created a 53rd FAC flickr account for use as a reference dump. This flickr account is open for use by all members if you have any GM references you'd like to contribute. However, because flickr accounts are "private accounts," and because I do not want the album tainted with inappropriate images, I will not post the login information here.

PLEASE PM ME FOR LOGIN INFORMATION.

Will definatly be useing these for help.

[RamZnation]

Can't remember where I saw this one. It may have been on here or on CT. It should be helpful if placed here on the Reference thread.

*I wish the resoultion on this picture were better, but it's good enough to help.

You are my hero!

Where has this pic been all my life? lol

Right off the bat we see some design changes that ought to be made:

- pauldron appears to be two pieces, at least it's separate in back

- helmet is straight in back with more pronounced flare than SGB helmet

- Helmet appears to have a lightly colored inner hard armor piece that starts at the cheeks and wraps around the back, see the GG Bust for a better look at this

- Bodysuit on arms is darker than legs/belly

- Great look at the backpack

- And a great look at the left shoulder pad

This is awesome! It means more work to do, but awesome

nice job there man!!!

[RamZnation]

Sorry guys, I still can't find a better res version of this image.

[journeymanprotector]

yeah, me neither.

I zoomed in on it and the lower left picture is the best, shows the left elbow alright and seems to show the form we're talking about. The right elbow is weird, looks more like a blaster mark than anything.

Trick with this costume is that we might be looking at a CG error lol

* out of topic post.

[journeymanprotector]
