TFU: The Ultimate Evil or I have a Secret too

Greetings, I have been keeping this project secret for over four months, with the notion I would not surface until it was complete. Now that The Force Unleashed has been released and this character has been revealed, I feel it might serve better to share my progress. It is actually a release for me just to share this much.


I am proud to say this is NOT PEPAKURA.

Not that there is anything wrong with Pepakura--the software that allows folk to print out the facets of 3-D models for easy assembly--it is just a different animal than sculpting by hand and from scratch.

Be well,
Thomas

I wish I had a quarter of your talents! Amazing stuff and THANKS for sharing!!!!
Looking foward to seeing more form this

this is going to look phenomenal when it's done!

That looks great :thumbup Can I have it

!aw i hate you!! // envy you! in a good way. When i found out bout this guy my first thought was thats my second suit. your work is always amazing. keep up the awesome job! do you sculpt outa clay then bake then mold? i was going to sculpt using super sculpty.?

I'm getting tired of you having all these awsome costumes. Its about time you start sending me some of them. But seriously.

Great work....................................as always!

Excellent work Thomas! Are there any pics of the character from the game?

G-Fett

I love it when Thomas makes a post like this... good stuff

Sweet mask, Spanos! I know if anyone would be able to do that coustume, it would be you.

That's awesome! If I ever make up enough funds for another suit, it will definately be the Bounty Hunter Disguise for Starkiller from that game... wonderful work though!

That's friggin sweet! I love it!

Awesome job Thomas!

Outstanding job there! Really sweet!

I understand what you're saying about Pepakura, it's a great tool but to be able to sculpt and shape something with your own hands like that is a real gift. Well done.

Excellent work as always Thomas!!! You never cease to astound me with your creativity and talent.

Thomas....

Its looking outstanding!!!!

Looking awesome Thomas!

Absolutely stunning.

Once again, you show us alll up Thomas Fantastic as always. I want to see that Bane finished by the way

Gorgeous sculpting, as usual. I can't wait to see the whole thing!

Nice work Thomas!

I can't wait to see how this project turns out!

Thomas strikes again!

How did I not see this before now!

Great as always. I've been keeping my eye out for the Imperial Knight figures but haven't seen them yet, I saw them on the back of another package and had almost forgotten about it and when I saw it I was like "hey there's Thomas!" lol

I found you and picked you up at target tonight, at least your Imperial Knight action figure.

Very nice work. Great lines. Only one question I suppose for you. Is this based on the game character? Because the smallest of the symmetrical cylinders in the game, is actually a recess and not an extrusion. at least on the other side of the head.

At least in the screenshot I saw. I thought about making this, but I simply dont have the skills you have Not for a project of this size

Very nice

Good evening,

I prefer to post when I have more images to share. For now I wanted to thank you, The Dented Helmet for your support. This suit has a great deal of detail to recreate before it will be presentable. I will happily share updates, whenever I make significant progress.

Katua Fett--I am no cosplaya, no need to for anyone else to be a coshata. The helmet is cast in fibre glass. I would not recommend super sculpty for any large format props for several reasons. Chief amongst those would be lack of durability.

Studio Fett Images of the character in game are not commonly available at this tyme. You can see the character in the "Darkside" ending cut scene on Youtube, but be warned--that might be a spoiler for you.

Skupilkinson I appreciated your comment all the more when I understood the work you have been putting into your own Pepakura templates. I do not mean to demean Pepakura assisted prop making. It lends a great start to any 3-D video game based character. My supposition is that recreating the prop from scratch allows for "feeling" to be imposed in the piece. My gut feeling for the Ultimate Evil version of this character has been dread. Completing this costume will be the darkest I have ever traveled to reach a character.



I worked on the masters for this character's claws this weekend. Then I switched gears and redressed my life casting for use with Darth Bane. I am trying to pull a presentable version of my dear Bane together in tyme for an upcoming event of personal significance. And as always, I am short on tyme.

Be well,
Thomas

I want to see that Bane done sooo bad Thomas, im sure you do to

Nice work as always.

which copy was this suit from? i don't recognize it from the wii version.

Beat the game on the dark side.

dark side? there is no dark side on the wii version and if there was i'd have already done that. light side has never been worth playing in any game, all the light side has is heal, no good moves other than that. and as i understand it, the wii and 360 versions are much different.

ah, gotta love Gentle Giant. Those are two very nice looking busts, I'm looking forward to seeing how your chest piece turns out.

Wow those are killer! I didnt even find them on giants website! are they soon to be released? Any progress pics for us?

thats so awesome, looking foward for more updates

As you can see from my avatar, I love the Sith Stalker armor. I have even tried to make a helmet a couple of times but they ended up being epic failures. This may be the single coolest thing I have seen on this site.:thumbup Will you please give me some more in depth insight on how you created this. Where do you even start.

You are the best....

for you I take my hat off...

Rick

Looks super nice!

i can't wait to see this. This is one of my fav costumes in the game, though i do have a that secret soft spot for the bounty hunter disguise! haha

What are you talking about? The Wii has a dark side ending. When you get to choose to who defeat at the end, attack Vader instead of Palpatine. You kill Vader, you take his place.

Good morning,

Inspired by the fine work of my fellows on costumes of this character, I feel it is tyme I finally share my preliminary research sketches;

Helmet and body to scale


The the undersuit and General Grevious Arm Prosthetic, front


The the undersuit and General Grevious Arm Prosthetic, back


Detail of hand and right fingertip prosthetics


I hope this is of aide to others who are interested in the character.

Be well,
Thomas
