You're right
@Renegade Sewist , there are so many possibilites when you have no clue what you're doing
Naturally, having some expertise helps, but I wouldn't want too much of it before setting my own mind to work on how to solve a problem, or do a thing.
& Yeah, I've seen what Maul Cosplay has done and I'm somewhat jelly he/they got the chance to make one before the trailer launched. But then again he/they probably have good contact to CDPR, and he/they are quite well known cosplayers too. So not that big of a surprise.
Here's one with the lighting visible
@Manuela The idea I started out with was that I cut out the Oni/Demon Face, and glue in a clear plastic. Have to experiment a bit what I use for the coloring, maybe a layer of colored plastic on the inside, maybe some thin colored paper, maybe something completely different. Not sure yet.
My idea was to light it up with EL Panel / Backlight Panel, same for the collar.
And yeah, I thought about making the power source removeable, wanted to see if I could use a powerbank as supply so it'd be easily rechargeable too, and could be multifunctional.
But I for now am not yet wholly sure how the comfort of all those electronics in the jacket would be, so for that I made myself mentally ready for making a second one without the light, where I wanted to simply sew the Oni/Demon out of cloth and then onto the back.
But if you got better ideas for it, I'm always happy for suggestions
