Costumes. XD Here are some pictures of costumers who have created Tenel Ka outfits! If you have a Tenel Ka costume (or have one up here and you'd like to send more pictures and/or info I don't have), please send it here, with your name and where you wore it! Thanks!
YJK ARMOR (Young Jedi Knights series) --
Picture taken by SithVixen! From the Star Wars costume contest at Dragon*Con 2000! I don't know who is wearing the costume though! :( If it's you, send me an e-mail! Pleeease! <3
Picture taken by Tenna (me XD)! It is of Ana in her YJK TK costume from Celebration III!
Picture taken by Tenna (me)! From Celebration III! This is Beth, she goes by Tahiri_Solo14 on the TFN boards. I saw her at the Celebration at CIII party wearing this costume and I fangirled her instantly! Awesome job, Beth! :D
This is Jennifer, whom I love to death! She wore this to Dragon*Con 2005 and when I saw the pictures I could only sit with my mouth hanging open. <3 All the scales were handsewn on, and painted one by one. Make sure you visit her cosplay.com profile here!
Yay! This outfit has been my dorky dream costume since forever and I finally got around to making it for Dragon*Con 2007. I've worn it a few times after that (D*C '09, Balticon '10, etc., hehe) and have recently changed some things on it, hence the difference in some of the pictures -- I'm still changing things and probably always will be! XD
JEDI STRIKE TEAM (NJO: Star By Star) --
Pictures taken by Valerie and Brandyn, thanks guys! Here's a picture of the Jedi Strike Team from Celebration III (well part of us -- left to right: Ganner, Jovan, Tahiri, Anakin, Alema, Tenel Ka, Eryl and then Zekk and Jaina in the bottom row)! And a shot of me getting books signed by Troy Denning! :D
QUEEN GARB/OTHER ARMOR, ETC. (Anything past Dark Journey) --
This is me (and Linh <3 as a Hapan handmaiden in one picture, as well as Sarah as Tahiri, Ed as Zekk and Jason as Jacen in the later pictures!) as Queen TK -- an outfit I put together for Celebration III. I wore it again that year (2005) to Dragon*Con after I fiddled around with the cloak and changed the magical gort eggshell necklace.
Legacy of the Force costumage at Dragon*Con 2006 (the first three pictures). Since Miss TK got a cover, I figured I could throw something together and so I did. XD The scales didn't cooperate like I wanted the first time, but I fixed them for Anime USA 2007 -- which is where the last picture came from. ;D
More Legacy of the Force costumage at Dragon*Con 2007. This costume is from a few lines in Tempest that mention Tenel Ka in a gray Hapan jumpsuit. I figured I could design something off of those lines and this is what happened. And yay for pictures of the messed up arm club with Alema! XD I hope to fix this up a bit and wear it again in the future!
I first wore this random Queen Mother dress I decided to make to BaltiCon 2010 and I'll be wearing it again to Dragon*Con where there will be a bunch of awesome people in awesome EU costumes! I made the dress and jacket sleeveless cause it's easier to hide an arm with no fabric on it (;D) and cause of a random passage in the Dark Nest books where Jacen notes TK is wearing a "sleeveless frock"... THAT WAS MY EXCUSE. XD
