Snow Queen from Narnia

[Dreadmel]

Julia, I've seen your work on other sites, and as usual, your talent is awesome.

 

[ShezaPropstitute]

I think it's unanimous -- those who have seen Tilda Swinton's White Witch all thought "hmm... wonder if Julia's gonna tackle this one next".

Eeeek. That battle dress is chain maile.

Only one nit-picky detail -- your hair is MUUUUUUCH too nice for the White Witch. Her hair scared me. *shudder.* Wigs are your friend.

Can't wait to see what you do next with this.

Thanks a bunch Nexus for anything you can get - but there is no rush, I'm only CONSIDERING this...

I adjusted the lighting on some of them, to help bring out details:

Darc, I actually do have a wig I planned on roughing up and putting it in my hair to add volume and mess - but I simply ran out of time... Thanks for the compliment though.

Nexus, Thanks a 100x for all those... That is a fascinating costume - all the ties, zippers, and I especially love the hospital bracelets. This (besides the wings) is very, very a doable. In fact, I just saw some white stretch fabric that would be perfect for the shirts and under layer of leggings... hmmm....

Very nice.

:love

 

[ShezaPropstitute]

I just love how you colored those fabrics and layered them for that effect. It reads wonderfully in your pics.

But you DO realize that small children will now run screaming from you, right? :lol Tilda Swinton was concerned about that as well. Said in an interview that she remembered Margaret Hamillton (Wicked Witch of the West) saying that children were backing away or hiding behind their parents when they saw her waiting for the subway.

Ahhh... the power. The POWER.... :lol :lol :lol

BEAUTIFUL work....

I have been drooling over the Battle Dress that the Queen has myself. All that chainmail scares me off though.

Me too. I am terrified by the thought of making a whole skirt of chainmail though - ugh. Right now I'm wondering about the possibilities of knitted string, both from an ease factor and from a weight factor.

There are knitting patterns for theatrical chainmail here's one site (don't know the quality) http://www.usitt.org/tdt.index/extras/39-3chainmail.html . Also, depending on the gauge, Weta used PVC for some of the chainmail in LotR. Search here on it I know there has been at least one thread (may be in the archives now) about doing orc chain with PVC.

Yeah, I was thinking it would be fun to drag my kids around with me dressed as stone statues... :lol


Ondiv and Gen, have you seen This??

Gen, looking at beautiful photos is always how it starts... peer pressure doesn't go away when you get older either. *LOL*

oh thank you so much for that link Guri... I saved that sucker right to my hard drive.

I'm also going to look into this whole PVC chainmail thread...that is an option that I'd be open to.

 

[JedHead]

Has anyone made the battle costume from the first film? If so, how did you do the weapons and headpiece?

 

[Guri]

A friend of mine did it in sintra.
