Superhero Costumes - My Artistry

[ms_ventress]

Hi Everyone,

My favorite type of design is costumes. I have designed and made (with some help) a few of my favorite comic book lady villians and heros. I have also a few Star Wars costumes.

Let me know what you think.

Hawkgirl (inspired by Women of DCU Hawkgirl Bust)

[rilynil]

Wow, you have some mad costuming skills! All of them are awesome. :buttrock: That Leia slave outfit looks like a perfect match! Welcome to the forum! This is a fun place :)

[Tetragrammaton]

Very nice work.

You don't happen to do armors, do you?:)

Welcome to the forum.

[melike]

very cool!

[Primal]

Great Asajj & Leia! I guess you put a baldcap on?

[ms_ventress]

yep baldcap... it was annoying... took 3 hours to put it on.. :P

I don't do orders... takes me months to just get one costume done.
For example for Hawkgirl I started at the end of August and I finished it a week before Halloween. And I was working constantly on it when I got off work.

its my hobby and I love it. I am working on a female mando (Boba Fett like) and a TIE pilot.

[bane]

Great costumes , you got some skills !!

[mwf6171]

Wow, you are a hot slave Leia. :buttrock: You have some mad costuming skills. Love the pics!!! It is awesome seeing people doing stuff they love. Keep up the good work.

Oh yeah, post more Slave Leia pics!!!:confused2 :redface:

[RichBamf]

So you & MWF are gonna duke it out for her affections? :eplus2:

[Kirbyfan]

Dang!!! Hawkgirl is pretty Smokin!

I suggest we give her a category of her own, where she can just keep posting her pictures.

[mwf6171]

So you & MWF are gonna duke it out for her affections? :eplus2:

Nah, I'm a lover not a fighter!!! :laugh:

[Tetragrammaton]

So cosplay is strickly a convention thing?

Is the Japanese scene bigger than here in North America?

The closest I've known is I have a friend who's into the 'Society for Creative Anachronism'. All I know about cosplay it is what I see on youtube.

The Good...

[Underdog07]

Japan v America it seems. The not so good was pretty scary. It takes some courage to dress up and, apparently, a lot of ability to put together a decent costume.

[devlinboy]

that cammy on the hotel bed.....VERY NICEeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[misanthrope]

i have to agree with whoever said you "make" the costume. these are awesome! how do you secure the wings? they dont sag but i dont see a harness either.

[rilynil]

Ms. V, you've got the costume and attitude perfected! That's completely awesome. :buttrock: I'm sure all the folks at the cons love when you show up :)

Awesome Hawkgirl!:thumbs2:

[mwf6171]

HOT HOT HOT.:thumbs2:

What she said!!:buttrock::thumbs2:

[armitage]

Those are very cool costumes.
Have you ever thought about modeling them for artists?
I know I'm always on the lookout for models and since you create your own costumes that's even better. I have met some people on Tribe that I've used in some of my work. You could always pick up some spare dough that way....just a thought.
Right now I'm working on a Baroness drawing from GI Joe....ever consider her as a costume?

[Primal]

What's next? Your casting couch? :laugh:

[Tetragrammaton]

Great pics. You have a nice mace.

How's the visability with the Hawkgirl mask/helmet on?

[DFury]

Very nice work... They all are great can't decide wich one i like best :)

welcome to the forum ...

df

[ms_ventress]

wow lotsa questions.

Ok for the modeling thing... this is such a little girl thing, but I always wanted to be famous... modeling, acting, singing.... but I was given the short stick on all three, I am only 5'2". can't carry a note to save my life, and everytime I try and act my eyes get all watery... so next best thing... would be making costumes... I guess.
A cool thing happened to me at Dragon Con though... I posted this in the Sideshow Forum... I went to see Adam Hughes booth in Artist Alley and he saw me and called me over and said that he had used my picture when I was dressed up as Slave Leia as refernce for a drawing he was doing, and he remembered me from Celebration 3 in my Asajj Ventress costume... :)

Just to let you guys know that I do collect statues and use them for reference for all my costumes that I own. Statues and busts and action figures I find are the best reference since they are already in a 3-D form, unlike drawings... which can be good sometimes.

THE WINGS... I designed the harness myself... I did not want the wings to fail at all while I was wearing them and they stood up to a huge crowd at a dance club, no feathers were lost and I took alot of hits from drunk girls barging their way through the club.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b364/ms_ventress/Hawkgirl%20Costume/IMG_2784.jpg

The top just fits right over top and there is a flap of yellow material that goes overtop of the back of the wings so it just looks like two separate wings jutting out from the back.

GI JOE costume - I actually thought of making a GI Joe costume, but not Baroness, I actually wanted to make the Jinx costume... (red ninja girl).

My next superhero costume I am thinking of building is Huntress. Its going to be a challenge.. I can already see that... :P

[Primal]

Quite a talent you have there. Jim Lee Huntress? :buttrock:

HOT HOT HOT.What she said!!Have you ever thought about modeling them for artists?

[fossa2]

Yeah o, but you're the only 1 blowing her kisses :D
...besides, consider it payback for a few of your old comments... :eplus2:

[ms_ventress]

haha oh my goodness... hey this is better than getting criticism.

hey armitage, if you need a model you got one...:)

[armitage]

How about these guys? :laugh:

Hey!:confused: :p
You can leave me out of your crazy ideas.
I was just asking Ms V if she would ever consider modeling i.e taking a photo for
character reference for artists. No hidden agendas here my friend.:)

[armitage]

haha oh my goodness... hey this is better than getting criticism.

hey armitage, if you need a model you got one...:)

Excellent!
You can take comfort in the fact that your portrayal will be of the highest quality.
Thanks.:thumbs2:

[ms_ventress]

i like getting photographed I guess... it goes with wearing a costume... it gets some attention. I like looking at references in comic books, art, watching cartoons, for how the character acts and poses. its way more fun to pose how the character would pose that just standing there in a photo. and I think the person taking the photo will like it better. So far.. my favorite costume to wear is Harley Quinn, cause she is so wacky.

[JLM]

Great work Ms V! :thumbs2:

[armitage]

So far.. my favorite costume to wear is Harley Quinn, cause she is so wacky.

The pic of you in your Harley costume looks great.
Do you have the Oversized "Pop" Gun to go along with it?
Personally my fave is your forum namesake, the Ventress costume and makeup is outstanding.

[ms_ventress]

not oversized... just normal. Man, costumes are like a drug for me... always needing more... I have 10 costumes in total i think... :p

[Rogue]

:eek: 10 Costumes? Wow, that's alot of time and effort into them. I would love to see maybe a Rogue, Mystique or Phoenix costume in the future. If you dress up like Domino you might make Fossa2 faint. :D

[Car50n]

i've been trying to keep the latin charm subsided..but mami, you can play dress-up with me any day.

dont forget the wings.

[rilynil]

:eek: 10 Costumes? Wow, that's alot of time and effort into them. I would love to see maybe a Rogue, Mystique or Phoenix costume in the future. If you dress up like Domino you might make Fossa2 faint.
I don't think Fossa2 would be the only one! :laugh: I've got lil miss Domino among my Pernatars. :D Ms_ventress, I'll say it again: You do phenomenal work with your costumes. :buttrock:

[madjazz]

Cool! Love the Hawkgirl. Nice piece of work. Huntress? With your skills, I'd love to see it. I bet you could do a great old school Batgirl or even a Shiva. Elektra?

Oh, I know - Valkyrie - With a sword AND a spear!

[ms_ventress]

haha, you guys are funny. its just my hobby. I am just lucky with the mold that I was born with. I just love the Superhero costumes. I just wish that there were more well known Star Wars females that were evil. Then I wouldn't walk around in Edmonton dressed as Asajj Ventress, with 90% of the people asking who I am. I just need to get my Mandolorian costume complete then I don't have to talk to anyone cause I got a helmet on :)

Its just so frikin' fun to wear costumes.... almost as fun as collecting...

[Underdog07]

There is always Darth Xio Jade, but I have no idea what she looks like. And, while she is only from the Star Wars video game world, Visas Marr is a sith.

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k220/underdog07_2006/Visas_marr.jpg


http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k220/underdog07_2006/18.jpg

Here is her background:

Visas is from the planet Katarr and is the lone survivor of its destruction when it was drained of the Force by her master, Darth Nihilus. Her species, the Miraluka, is a race that lacks physical eyesight but possesses the ability to see through the Force. This ability is called Force Sight. She joins the Exile after boarding the Ebon Hawk to attack the Exile. When the Exile spares her life, it causes Visas to pledge her life to the Exile. In a final test of allegiance to the Exile, Visas confronts her old master aboard his vessel, the Ravager. Her fate ends up solely resting on that of the Exile, who either sends her to her death, or inspires her to stand up against her former master.

Visas Marr's name most likely originates from the Latin word visus meaning sight (ironic, seeing that Miraluka do not possess physical eyesight but have sight through the Force). Her last name may also have something to do with this. As it may mean "Marred sight".

[Brent Peconi]

Hi Ms V!! Havent Seen you on MSN / Snowtroopers.ca in a DOGS age!

Im on here too though :P gettin my statue fix!

Glad to see your still doing the costuming thing -- hawkgirl looks like it took some time. Any updates on your Tie costume yet??

[Poisonous]

Love those costumes:buttrock:

Do you have pics of the rest of your work? What costumes have you made so far?

[fossa2]

I knew you would like that! :D

Completed costumes:

Hawkgirl
Asajj Ventress

Malice in Wonderland (BE Goths Doll)
Shaak Ti
Slave Leia
Fleur Delacour (Book version Goblet of Fire)
Renissance Dress
Sith Cheerleader
501st Imperial Pub Staff (black corset & mermaid cut skirt)

Just to let everyone know... I get alot of help with the fabrication of these costumes. I am part of a costuming group, which is amazing. I am not very good a sewing... well i am not as experienced as some of the girls in the group. I have my strengths in building or modifying things... like for the Hawkgirl costume I had a dance seamstress build the top and bottoms but everything else was built or modified by myself. I am learning how to sew better, I sewed all of my Tinkerbell dress together. :)

Costumes in the Works:

TIE Pilot
Female Mandolorian
Tinker Bell
Barriss Offee

Costumes in the future:

Huntress
Black Canary
Princess Leia (GG animated maquette ANH dress version)
Catwoman (purple catsuit)
.... and many more

[Poisonous]

Thank you for that ms ventress, awesome line-up. Again, would love to see them all.

[skorpsta]

i love all of your costumes especially shairyas {hawkgirl}. my girlfriend wanted to put together a LADY DEATH costume any ideas???????

[skorpsta]

ms ventress you will love the gg lea r2 maquette i got mine 2 weeks ago.

[ms_ventress]

sweet. I have Ventress, Barriss & Luminara, and Yoda from the series. I think Leia will make a great addition. :)

For Lady Death... uuuummm.. is it the bikini version..
I saw one girl as Lady Death and she was in the leather black bikini, and covered by a huge cloak... so I don't know you didn't get to see much...

[skorpsta]

thanks that sounds hot good idea, i told my girlfriend about it and were gonna try to work something out for the costume

[uncleben1963]

Ms. Ventress is a comic fan's dream. You ever noticed that most comic collectors are guys? Not too many females at those conventions, and when you see one in the flesh...er, in the Hawk-Girl costume I mean...lol...it brings you back to your teen years when fantasies of super powers and super-girls were rampant. I remember Gwen Stacey in the Savage Land...ah, now that was a woman! Lol. But I digress... I think it's cool that Ms. Ventress enjoys the hobby and enjoys a little dress-up too. For Halloween, I would take my nephews around (they're too old now), and I remember I had a Punisher costume, and a Green Goblin costume (with fibreglass mask custom-molded to my face and pointy purple hat). Heck, I've even dressed up as Hollywood Hulk Hogan. I'd post the pics but somehow they'd pale in comparison to Hawk-Girl. Guys would rather see her as Slave Leia...and they're RIGHT!!! You keep enjoying your hobby Ms. Ventress. It's one of the safe pleasures we have. I love your wings!!!

[ms_ventress]

well thank you. Costuming totally drives me. and I actually get most of my inspiration from Statues or Busts... cause they are already in 3-D so I can see the seam lines and actually see how big... say Hawkgirl's helmet is.

Costuming is my favorite thing to do, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it... maybe till I can't wear the supertight costumes... but if I ever have kids... they are going to have the best Halloween costumes ever!

[Bengalslair]

Awww Son I have missed this one...:banghead: And I don't know if I should say this but what the heck that bellie for the hawkgirl is perfecto :thumbs2: ...I look forward to what ever else you have!!!

[ms_ventress]

well up north during the winter... sucks.. i think its -33 with the windchill today when I went outside to start my car.... I think I heard it cry a bit...

I call the Winter, Costuming Season cause all I want to do is stay inside, so during that time I cruise the web looking for ideas for new costumes, finish on-the-go costumes and maybe start the new ones if I brave a trip to the fabric store...:P

I am going to be working on a Female Mando (Boba Fett like costume) this weekend I think. :)

uuugh... it is suppose to warm up a little bit maybe by five degrees or so.... so it will only be freezing cold instead of deathly cold...

Won't be wearing Hawkgirl or Slave Leia anytime soon... probably not till March. :(

Can I get a decision from a MOD????

ZURB? GAL??? BC??? CK??? Anyone???

Now for the damsel... :wink2:

those are crazy maces... Got mine a little "worn down" looking so I wouldn't get it taken away when I went out for Halloween...

or when I decided to hang out on an airplane wing.... ;)

If you got your mace taken away on Halloween, you didn't deserve it... :wink2:

[CocoPUFF]

So cosplay is strickly a convention thing?

Is the Japanese scene bigger than here in North America?

The closest I've known is I have a friend who's into the 'Society for Creative Anachronism'. All I know about cosplay it is what I see on youtube.

The Good...

Its between these two.

I like the snow version because it hasn't been done but some people might not recognize its source.

[The Reptyle]

Geez ms_ventress you're every comicbook geeks fantasy....including mine...lol;)

[CocoPUFF]

do the one with R-2...that costume will look great...esapecially whaen you give yourself the hairdo! post pics when finished!

[UnicornPegasus]

Leia. Totally Leia. I've seen a lot of cosplayers, but your costumes are really well done. You obvioulsy put lots of time and thought into those. Great job, you look fabulous.

[melike]

I agree -the first one. Its a nice litlle piece that btw..

[Primal]

I think Leia's the way to go.

She also has a hood in case you want to go in that direction too.

http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/2813/leiaswji2.jpg

It's gonna be a real pain getting your hair into buns like that though. :laugh:

[madjazz]

I vote the first one because that look is more identifiable as a character and not just a fashion statement.

I'd be lying if I did not mention that the fact that the first look also has a skirt with a a really long slit and the second just has pants. It's a no-brainer just on that level. :)

[JLM]

This one.:thumbs2:

[ms_ventress]

I have worn a movie canon Princess Leia ANH costume, with the buns and all. I wanted to make one of these costumes cause I just love the style of them. The thing I like about Leia is there is a little touch of sexiness, with the tightness of the top and the slit. And with Snowbunny Padme, I just really want to make a Padme costume, and this is one of my favorites, I will probably eventually make both of these costumes, but right now I can only afford to make one.

[Sniper]

padme you would look super hot in !!!

Well, You are in Canada, and it is currently Winter. Despite my overriding Maleness, the outfit more suited for colder weather might make more sense to go first.

[uncleben1963]

First one.

[ms_ventress]

hey guys I chose Snowbunny Padme. I will post pics as it is coming along. :)

[fossa2]

Snowbunny?! Sounds HOT :D

[endsongjen]

def. the snow bunny. ive only made 2 costumes not as great as yours though!!! u should join heroesalliance.com. they are all amazing ppl with diff cossies. and then theres the http://cosplayxmen.conforums3.com/index.cgi (if u ever plan to do an xmen cossie)
they are all a bunch of help too, and im sure theyd love to see ur stuff. a lot the girls are way helpful and just as talented as u are.

[CompEng1]

Hey miss V I was wondering if you were a member on the Hall of Costume forums? I think I've seen some of your pics there but couldn't be sure. Anyway, in case you aren't, that is a great place to showcase your work and get advice.

I don't know...ummmm...the R2 outfit might be hard to squeeze into :laugh:

[ms_ventress]

hehe, actually my friend has a lifesize artoo unit that moves and makes noises.. it would be a nice accessory for the Leia costume... :)

[Perna]

you've got some awesome skills ms.

[ms_ventress]

you guys know whats funny??? comparing the cost of making this costume to finding and buying the Snowbunny Padme maquette.... the costume is about the quarter of the cost!

... I guess if you can't get... become it!

oh, CompEng1... what is the website link for the Hall of Costumes forum???

[McHaleyArt]

Hmmmm....I wonder how much it would cost to turn myself into the Weta/Sideshow Balrog.

[ms_ventress]

Here is the finished costume. :)

[uncleben1963]

I would have liked to see the other costume, but this one is beautiful. You have a lot of talent. Thanks for sharing your pics, and keep on sewing.

[rilynil]

What an amazing costume, Ms. V! It suits you well! :buttrock:

[Rogue]

Very nice work!!! :)

[Vince-Vell]

[Perna]

That's an awesome costume!! Great work Ms V.

[Relic Reaper]

That looks fantastic, Ms. V!:buttrock:

[Teague]

Just found this thread--great costumes, msV!

A friend of mine here in Denver does great costumes like these, too, but she's just starting out. Do you mind if I show her these pics you've posted? I'm sure she'd love to see them, if only to see how cool they are.

Very talented--thanks for sharing your work with us! :thumbs2:

[hawkeyethearcher]

damn. great costumes. you look hot in them. this is what i love about going to conventions. the outfits people make are so much fun.

[Primal]

Great job Ms V!
Congrats!

[bat_collector]

you should make a calendar, ms v, I bet you'd get tons of orders off this site. lol

[JLM]

Nice work!

[Tetragrammaton]

So what's up next. With spring right around the corner, might be a good time for a Huntress costume.

http://i15.tinypic.com/4d1tnk7.jpg

Yeah, or maybe a Starfire! :eek: :thumbs2:

[uncleben1963]

She would need a lot of hair or a wig for Starfire. I would suggest Black Widow or...oooh oooh...just came to me...ready Ms. V....The Wasp! With the white/blue outfit with the one leg missing. Oh that would be nice. This one you've made could be altered into a Silver Sable. Power-Girl would also be a good one...ooooh...another one...DAGGER! Yes go with Dagger. May I suggest double-sided tape. Whatever you choose it will be smokin'. I also think you should sell calendars and make some money off this hobby.
Take care.

[Sniper]

hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot.

alright pick up you're tongue off the ground already:stick:

[Rogue]

How about a Rogue costume! :)

[rilynil]

I think a Red Sonja outfit would be stunning! :thumbs2:

[uncleben1963]

Awwwwww. Congrats on the pending nuptials. He's gettin' himself one sweet super-heroine. Lucky guy. And...uh...yeah...you should make the Mary Jane wedding dress. Scary thing is, I immediately thought that even before I saw the posted pic. Yeesh...we all think alike.

[uncleben1963]

Huntress is a good choice too.

[ms_ventress]

ugh... MJ's dress... is not my kind-a dress... idea though.
And fiance will be dresses as Boba Fett.. not Spiderman! hehe.
