Flick the Switch - Chapter 9

Jaryn returned home from the diner after a late shift and found a note from her brother. This was first time she had ever found such a thing in the apartment and as simple as it was, it made her uneasy.

J—

Went out with Steve and the others. Be back later tonight.

Love you, K

She read the note over and over again, flipping it over and looking at the back of the paper before turning it over and reading it one more time. Jaryn wasn't sure how she felt in relation to the note. He had never gone out without her, unless it was to work. Occasionally, he stopped by the store or the library by himself to pick something up, but never anything

Flick the Switch - Chapter 8

Their bruises faded over the next few months. The money they had saved up plus what they were making at their new jobs was enough for them to pay the month-to-month rent of a small studio apartment. It was only a little bigger than the motel room they had stayed in when they arrived at the city, but it was something.

They both worked at the Lakewood Avenue Diner, Jaryn as a waitress and Kerith as a busboy. Their hair had grown out, the color had faded. Jaryn could look at herself in a mirror without thinking of their father or Gregory. Kerith never found her curled up anymore. He hadn't had to pull her out of an emotional slump in a good few

Flick the Switch - Chapter 7

Their hoods hadn't come off until a couple hours into the ride and even then they were careful about who saw them. Two teenagers with almost fresh injuries on their faces weren't something they really wanted to draw attention to at this point in their journey. Keith stared out the window at the passing trees, looking over his sister's head which was resting on his side. His right arm was around her, his fingers absently toying with the folds of the hoodie she had taken off and placed over herself as a blanket.

Keith hadn't thought much yet about what they were going to do when they arrived at the city – he knew they had both been focuse

Tenel Ka Djo costume - NJOby ~hexterah

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Costumes / Cosplay & Role-Playing

I was really excited to make this costume because

was awesome/nice enough to let me use one of his old Tenel Ka pieces as inspiration for it! Thank you so muuuuuuuuch, Todd!

I have always loved this ([link]) piece of fanart that he did a long time ago and when I found him on deviantART again after all these years since he submitted the piece to the Tenel Ka site I run, I gushed at him once more about it and asked if I could use it as inspiration for a costume. When he gave me the go ahead (after I gushed at him some more about it, naturally), I started to put it all together.

I had a lot of fun making the armor (Nate helped with this cause I couldn't fit it to myself without it being all lopsided derp derp), cape and belts - the shorts didn't like me as much, but I made them work! Seriously, me trying to sew snakeskin vinyl fabric into shorts that fit somehow-- my sewing machine saw an evil side of me.

There were some things I didn't get a chance to finish before the convention thanks to pre-con sickness (grrrrr) like the scaled shinguards and the etched forearm cuff, but I will definitely be finishing that stuff up and wearing this again!

Also, with the knowledge gained making this outfit and some ideas that have stemmed from this thanks to Todd's amazing fanart, I'll be starting a new version of my Young Jedi Knights armor at some point soon! There were a couple of us talking about a YJK group for Katsucon in February so I figured it was the perfect chance to do so!

Costume: Tenel Ka Djo (Star Wars: Expanded Universe - fanart-inspired outfit)
Location: Dragon*Con 2011 - Atlanta, GA

I just want to know is how the hell did I not see her at Dcon!? I wanna know if that saber LED is a Bin2 Cyan.

~hexterah May 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I'll be back at Dragon*Con this year with two more Tenel Ka outfits! ;D For more about the saber check here: [link] - I got the actual saber handle (under the papaerclay)/blade from ultrasabers.com so there should be more info on their site about what they use to make them!

whaaaaaa i love your hair oh-so-much!! i wish i'd gotten to go to dragon con......sigh. this year fer sure.

~hexterah Feb 12, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you so much! ^___^ And I hope you do make it there this year so we can nerd out about Star Wars & the EU together! XDDD

~girlgoessolo Mar 1, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

there is no chance in all the corellian hells i won't make it this year!

~hexterah Mar 3, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

YESSSS~ we are currently planning a big EU photoshoot and I'll hopefully have my new TK YJK armor done. There's also going to be a Teneniel Djo and a Ta'a Chume there!

SO EXCITED.

Are you going to bring a costume? :3333

~girlgoessolo Mar 4, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

OMG that's awesome! Family reunion fun-time!! :3

My boyfriend and I are going to go as Mr. and Dr. Mrs. the Monarch (from Venture Bros. if you've seen it), and I'll probably run around as the Blue Spirit another day, but I don't have any Star Wars costumes.

I've always wanted to cosplay Jaina, but my BF has no idea who the YJK are, shame shame. He's an original-trilogy-only sort of guy.

~hexterah Mar 5, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Ahaha, Venture Bros - YES. That will be so awesome! Awww, are there any other SW costumes that he would know that you could do? I'm so excited I'll get to bug you in person, haha! XD

~girlgoessolo Mar 7, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

i'm going to try to come up with something, i've still got several months to figure it out. ^_^ i've got some twi'lek lekku that i made awhile ago but never finished.

i'm excited too! it's been quite lovely talking online and i'd love to see your awesome costumes in person!

Wow nice! Really good location too, looks like it could be a shot straight out of the books
