Twi'lek - Star Wars
Twi'lek were a humanoid sentient species native to the planet Ryloth. They were tall and generally thin, with skin pigments that spanned a rainbow of colors. A defining characteristic of Twi'leks were the prehensile tentacles that grew from their skulls, known as lekku, or headtails.
I wanted to make this because Episode 7 just came out this month, and everyone is going Star Wars crazy. Admittedly, there aren't any Twi'leks in Ep7, but they are a well-known alien.. and there are suddenly a lot more Star Wars gatherings at conventions. Also, it being the middle of winter, I didn't want to pull out Leia or Slave Leia.
This is a 1-day costume. 90% of this costume is the hat.
See the Workshop page for a WIP of how I made it. My hat is made of mostly craft foam. I researched a little to see what other people were making theirs out of [most of them were knitted or fleece]. There are some beautiful latex lekku hats for sale on etsy ~ $150, but these are not them.
Costume consists of: Hat, face paint, leotard, goggles, star wars dress [made from scratch]
ALSO SEE my Oola Costume.
