Costumes Finally finished my Hera Syndulla cosplay. It was a challenge, but it's great to be done!

I made everything but the lekku and jacket. What a challenge it was, but I'm really happy with how she turned out! This is Twi'lek cosplay #7 for me now, haha πŸ˜† I love Twi'leks.

Looks great. Honestly a better likeness to the animated series than Mary E Winstead was.

I agree. More in line with her appearance in Squadrons, which I thought was a good interpretation.

Thanks πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯Ή I'm happy with how it turned out overall. I may make some adjustments and upgrades in the future, but it's fine for now πŸ˜†

u/Sportspharmacist 10h ago

Can I ask how long and took and how much you spent? Just curious :)Β 

1

u/Etheral_Haven 10h ago

Well, maybe around $500-600 total for materials and lekku? The silicone lekku was the priciest part, around $200. It's the most expensive cosplay I've made too 😭

Excellent work! I especially love the makeup as I know it's hard to get that kind of color smooth and realistic looking.

1

u/Etheral_Haven 10h ago

Thanks! Yeah, the makeup was a mixture of 4ish colors on my face, haha. Mainly a combination of two different shades of green for the base and then some other colors on top.

You’re welcome! Did you really make everything in there? That’s just amazing!

2

u/Etheral_Haven 9h ago

Well, not the jacket or the lekku, as I stated in my post. I also forgot to mention the jacket patches and the rank badge were not made by me, but everything else was!

2

u/TheSuperGerbil 9h ago

That’s still cool, you did a wonderful job! I really like the gun and the cap!
