looks good so far, my advice to you, trim up the netting on the facial hair so that it doesn't over extend to much past the hairline. and go darker on your eyeliner .

Rings:

emerald skull : index finger right hand
Jade dragon: Thumb left hand
red ruby : index left hand
spanish button : ring finger left hand

http://www.sparrowsrus.com/forums is a good source for ref pics and breaking the costume down into sections.

Looks good so far. What is your wig made from? My suggestion would be to try and make your dreads a little tighter.

You know how around Halloween, there's always a bunch of costume-geared stores that open up for like two months? When I was building my Sparrow costume, I bought a couple of wig/hats that look like Rastafarian tams with dreadlocks attached. Something like this:

The dreads are surprisingly realistic, considering each hat only cost like $12. Each dread is densely matted and light-years better than the "tightly-curled regular hair" look in many fake dreads. I just took those things, removed the dreads from the hat, and sewed them into my existing long-haired wig.

wow thats a great idea. thank you. im definatly doing that.

No worries!

Oh, and the reason I mentioned the Halloween stores is because it's a good idea to buy these in person. I found out the hard way that many online stores will show a picture of the "good" dreaded hat, and send you a hat with the nasty curled dreads instead. Better to make sure you know you're buying the right thing, y'know?

That's exactly to the T what I did, and it came out fantastic!! I recommend this for ANY Jack Sparrow costumers not looking to shell out major bank for a wig.
