Tatooine Sith Stalker Pictures

I'd try acrylic paints in shades of brown.
dilute with water and "tie-dye" your stuff in different shades of brown.
it's acrylic so you can wash it out some before it sets and it will fade with every wash.

it's not do one thing or the other... try it all.
get some color in it, then drag it through the mud (literally) let the stains set, then wash it some.
it's Tatooine so no grass stains but dust is gonna be a must after it's all dirty.
I'd try to find some of the Sandtrooper weathering tutorials on the Legion boards, after all they are also from Tatooine...
 
Yeah, I'm going to see what I can do with the weathering. I got an email from mywickedarmor saying the helmet is only 1/3 done, so I have a lot of time to work on the other parts of the costume. :) (Before I work on the spikes for the helmet and everything...)

Edit: The tea staining didn't work out too well on that sample piece of fabric, so I probably won't do that. I'm thinking that I'm going to use dark tan spray paint and lightly spray it over some parts of the costume. That will make it dirty as well as accurate to the official costume...

Update: Okay guys, the fabric parts are done now! I used scissors to cut them up a bit more, and made them look more tattered. Afer that, I used acrylic paints, a sponge, and water to make them look weathered. Here are a couple pictures...

When wet:

When dry:

All done:

I really like how these turned out. :) I added stains onto the lower part of the skirts, the arm bands, and the head bands. (Those are the places on the real costume that are dirty) Now, all I need are a few more edits to this costume and I'll be done!
 
Update: Alright, I took more pictures of the complete costume so far because I wanted to show off how the spikes and dirt staining look. (You can't see the dirt very well on the pictures...) Here are the pictures...

(The main reason I took these pictures were to fix the way my left lightsaber was attached. It was placed on wrong on the first pictures I took...)

Anyway, I recently saved up enough money to buy a force fx lightsaber, but I still haven't recieved the helmet. When I get both of those items I will post pictures of the completed costume! :) (Unless I think of anything else to add...)

Looking good man! I might suggest a bit more weathering and shredding overall. Shredding on the edges. And really go at it with the dirt, dust and grime. It looks really cool. I can't wait to see the helmet and wrappings. And another suggestion, if you don't get too hot, maybe bulk up the chest and shoulders. just by wearing some more layers? But yeah maybe add some more tatters and dirt. Just my opinion. ;-)

Yeah, the layers thing sound like a great idea! (I'll probably just wear a shirt underneath the one I'm already wearing....) I'm also thinking of ideas for the weathering...

Edit: Going to get more tan fabric this weekend, and I'm going to do some major work on those shoulders. (I have a really good idea on how to bulk them up...) I also have my paint ready so I can do a TON of more weathering. (I just played the game and realized that my costume is not even close to being dirty enough...)

Update: Okay, I just wanted to let you guys know I'm still working on this. I got the force fx lightsaber in the mail, and I finished working on the hairbraid!

Weathering on the costume is also done, and I'm working on the shoulders now. My next update is going to be MAJOR.
 
Update: Finally got the helmet from Rob over at Mywickedarmor, and I completed the shoulders. Here are pictures of me with the costume so far...

Now all I have to do is add a couple of helmet details, (such as the spikes) and I will be done! :)
 
Hey man looks great! Just need some paint, AND SOME INSANE WEATHERING!!! ;-) Don't be afraid to get it dirty. Dirty suits are always the coolest aren't they? ;-) Looks great bro.
 
Thanks. :) Yeah, the acrylic staining is great for changing the overall color of the costume, but they don't make the costume look dirty enough. I'll see if I can find a different way to make the costume more weathered...
 
I know, i figured i'd have a go, his price point was a bit out of range for now, and he wouldnt sell it to me unpainted :-/

i mainly look into creating original characters to the best of my ability, i got with Brian (bigwater_99) and he was able to set me up with his custom revan helmet kit, so im good for now! good luck on the costume, its coming out great!

Haha, I actually wanted to buy mine unpainted too, but he wouldn't let me. I think he doesn't want people to recast it...
 
eh, if i had the skill to cast, period, i would be making my own stuff lol. i do special fx makeup, just havent gotten into the whole helmet making thing, seems complex, and im tight on money and space right now!

but i mean...paint stripper can remove any paint so....idk, either way, he makes a great piece, i would never copy one based off his.
 
The costume looks great... With weathering and dirtying up of the clothes don't be afraid to use heavier browns and black... They also will not always show in pics unless its upclose... so do not be discouraged...
