The sketches proceeded to commence- in part because of homework requirements (this week's assignment was five pages of wrinkled and folded and draped fabric. HOW CONVENIENT) and in part because I am a giant nerd who loves Star Wars and character design and costumes and Star Wars.
Emphasis on the giant nerd part.
I took about 200 photos from the Star Wars exhibit and the fantasy exhibit also there and drew from both the live displays and the photos.
Luke Skywalker's Jedi Knight robes, Obi-wan Kenobi's Tatooine robes from the original trilogy, Queen Amidala's light-up throne room gown from Phantom Menace.
Had to get the twins on the same page here. Princess Leia Organa's iconic white hooded gown (of 'help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!' fame) and the front of Luke's Jedi uniform.
Naboo royal handmaiden gown. Don't remember which of the prequels this one is from, honestly it could be any of them, the handmaidens show up in all three.
One of Padme's gowns from her stay on Naboo in Attack of the Clones. The one designed 'to look like it would fall off if she sneezed'. This one is so pretty- in color it fades from a peachy-yellow to lavender.
And finally, Emperor Palpatine in his 'I just declared myself Emperor and murdered three Jedi Masters come to take me prisoner' robes. Palps, why are you doing that thing with your arms, you look ridiculous.
