SHIN HATI: Cristina Waltz/Cale Thomas/Ashleigh Childers MS: A collaboration between showrunner Dave Filoni, Ashleigh Childers, and actress Ivanna Sakhno resulted in a "Joan of Arc" warrior-inspired look for Shin Hati, who is an apprentice to former Jedi Baylan Skoll. A wig was fronted by Dawn Dudley with directional knotting so we could create a fringe. Ashleigh did a custom color, including a slight shadow root and let the wig have its natural texture.

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead has a naturally warm undertone, so I started with a green correction primer to cool down her skin and then a custom variety of green shades were airbrushed onto her face to create a balance of tone that read as skin on camera. A mix of so creams were used around the eyes to match the green tone, keeping the eye area so and blendable. I used MAC Driwood to desaturate her natural lip color and airbrushed a custom so pale pink blush onto her cheeks to bring a touch of flush overall. Aquamarine lenses painted by Jessica Nelson finished the look. Legacy Effects built a custom understructure that Sallie mounted onto the head and secured with strategic braids and pins. Once Cristina placed the helmet and secured it to the understructure, the foam latex head tails were mounted within the back of
