If you ever played Star Wars: The Knights of the Old Republic II you'll probably slightly recognize the character.

It is based off of the Twilek sisters known as the "Twin Suns". My costume is a mix between their style and color. I didn't want to be a black/purple twilek with yellow or a white twilek with red, so I mixed the colors a bit that way.

The body paint could have been better because I had to layer the color so many times. I also had some trouble doing the facial makeup because I put to much black around my eyes and had to start over because I looked like the ultimate goth twilek. I also shaded my cheeks with black so I didn't just come out white with flash photography. The headpiece (lekku) took me a few months off and on to do. I originally started a "Twin Sun" character from KOTOR 2, but it turned into the mix between the two characters in general. The costume itself was just something I threw together from clothing that I normally wear. I have been wanting to do a twilek character since I began cosplaying. enjoy!
