This is my character's mask iam workin on gettin made later down the road once i get the maching saber finished. and it goes with all black sith robes and ill be using my black hakama "samuri pants" and my Gi top. its a very Darth Nihilus inspired set of robes when its all said and done.

That'll be a cool mask when it gets made! Cool video too.
I haven't realy looked into it but I've wanted to buy a karate Gi uniform but wasn't sure if I could buy one without joining a dojo or something. Also my mom doesn't want to go into a dojo to ask, she isn't realy a fan of martial arts.

I like the mask idea, has lots of potential. whatcha gonna make it out of?

34h4m, I got my gi on ebay. was like 30 bucks.

[Darth Relin]

the gi i use is a middle weight so a good middle weight gi is about 45-50 bucks the light weights are about 30 and the heavy weights are about 60-80 bucks as for the mask i really want to make it out of fiber glass or plastic somthing like that maybe even wood somthing ridgied. a freind of mine made the orgianl relin mask below but i wanted somthing simpler so i redesignd in to somthing alot more sith and simpler looking wich is the drawing above. but heres the orignal concept. and it also kinda reminded me of a basketball

I think I'll start my search there on the "world wide garage sale". Thanks Arkai.

Relin - Whats the difference besides price between the light, middle and heavy weight Gis?

[Darth Relin]

thickness of the fabric light weight gives you alot of mobility middle weight the fabric is alittle heavir and heavy weghit is the thickest stiffess fabrice usally a really thick canvus. and the go by ounces.
light weight =6oz middle weight=8oz heavy weight=12oz

The mask in those photos reminds me of a grasshopper's face.

Kind of cool looking. Like some kind of insectoid race.
