Hoth Rebel Snow Speeder Pilot Jacket Studies

A little over a year ago, I started collecting all the information I could about the jackets worn by the Rebel Snow speeder pilots in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back". I was intending to use them for my own use, but there are several people who are also highly interested in this jacket so I decided I would compile the images I've collected into a blog post to share. I cannot remember where I have gleaned all of these images. I do remember that the majority of the detail shots and screen shots of the actual jackets as seen in "Empire" have come from Darth Lars, who has a wonderful jacket tutorial up in the Pilots forum of the Rebel Legion.

Here are images of Luke and various Rebel pilots wearing the jacket in the movie:

Here is the original Ceremonial jacket from "Star Wars: A New Hope" which is similar, but different:





I cannot remember where I found these online, or even which show/movie these images are taken from [*Edit: I believe they are from the TV show "Space: 1999"], but it was noted that these are the same or similar jackets as what was used in "Empire" :









Obviously, if they are the same jacket, the "Empire" versions have been altered. I do believe the base of the Hoth Snow speeder jacket was some sort of "off the shelf" jacket from the late 1970's that had been altered slightly, which was quite common for the first 3 Star Wars movies.

Attack of the Clones Anakin

My latest [finished] commission is an Attack of the Clones Anakin Skywalker. I've actually had it finished for a while, but haven't posted pictures.

This is the movie version:

This is my version (Note that I did not make the leather tabbards, only the fabric ones.):

Artwork

These are older drawings of mine that I had posted on Geocities. However, Geocities is no longer so I wanted to post them here so I had them up somewhere. These are all colored pencil drawings on paper.


A commission from a fellow R2-D2 Builder:




This was a trade for some very awesome wooden legs and feet for my R2-D2:

The most heart-wrenching commission I've ever done. Little baby Megan was still-born and her mom wanted me to draw her so she appeared like she was clothed & merely sleeping:




A commission by a proud grandma, before her son took his family to the mission field:

Battle Damaged Clone Wars Anakin

I've been so busy, I forgot to post this commission. The same person who commissioned me to make a Clone Wars Anakin tunic and surcoat commissioned me to make a battle-damaged version of the surcoat.



The surcoat was to be battle-damaged, similar to this image from "Star Wars: The Clone Wars".



Here is the finished surcoat with "battle damage":

Another "The Phantom Menace" Battle Padme

A friend of mine, whom I consider my "sister in Padme-&-Leia-costume-freak-ness" asked me to sew a "The Phantom Menace" battle Padme costume for her. She is a great costume-maker herself, so I considered it an honor that she'd ask me. She provided the materials and I created the costume.


The original costume, as seen in the movie:

Battlestar Galactica Art

I was one of a handful of people to help start up a classic Battlestar Galactica costuming group, Blackstar Squadron. On the BSS forum, I had an avatar of my anime character, but I thought I should draw a Battlestar Galactica avatar. So, I drew and colored a quick rendering of me as my BSG character. Here is my character Rhea (pronounced REE-ah):

Owen & Beru Lars and Luke Skywalker
