Nippy13 - Jedi Master Elsa
🕑 Added 2020-05-31 23:19:17 +0000 UTC When I was attending Anime L.A., I met a cosplayer who had done a rather interesting mash-up. The mash-up was Disney and Star Wars and she was doing Elsa as a “Slave Leia”.
Here’s a picture of her: Maid of Might Cosplay - Slave Elsa
I saw it and liked it but then I thought that as titillating as it was, I figured that Elsa wouldn’t be a slave at all. So then I thought it over about the different aspects and professions in the Star Wars universe that would fit her. And given her abilities, I decided that Elsa should be a Jedi. With that in mind, I called upon an artist I know who has always done amazing work when it came to mimicking the Disney style whether it was 2D or 3D characters: Nippy13
I sent a message to her making it a lineart/sketch commission. The idea I had in mind was that Elsa would be wearing Jedi Robes, but also her tunic would be similar to the corset of her “ice dress”. As for her lightsaber hilt, I went through various sites that made lightsaber props for cosplay and so on. Among them was a site called “Saber Forge”. The model that I wanted Elsa to have had to be something very sleek, simple and elegant. And so, I came upon one that fight that description, but the name of it really laid the irony on rather thick. The name of the lightsaber model was called: “the Princess”.
And here’s her lineart: Frozen Wars by Nippy13
After Nippy13 had done the artwork itself, it was up to me to put in the colors. Immediately, I didn’t want Elsa to be wearing the drab earthtones of the traditional Jedi Robes. Instead, I used the colors from her ice dress as a pallet, the blues and a little purple. And of course, I had to make her lightsaber blade blue.
As for the background, I had agonized on that one for quite a while trying to figure out a setting to put her in that would work with my abilities. FInally, I picked the Death Star Hallway. The panels for that were relatively simple to reproduce thanks to a few images I found here and there. After that it was a matter of recreating the sheen and reflection in the floor. All it takes is a little opacity change, mirroring the image above and viola.
Hope all of you enjoy this as much as I did thinking it up and coloring it.
