After a long time I finally found out how to reblog this. You should draw moar of these o_o

[kantikane]

D-do you take requests for the twilit pokemon? They look really cool ;a;

Sure, why not?

Which would you like to see?

[kantikane]

Another twilit pokemon group! Again, that's "twilit" as in from Zelda: Twilight princess. These are all mega evolutions.

We have garchomp, lucario (because he looked sort of stupid in the previous one), gengar, tyranitar, alakazam and aerodactyl.

Gengar is based off a sol and the things Alakazam is "holding" are tears of light (incase anyone was wondering >_>)

A Silent Hill photo shoot me and a friend of mine, Gabi Gonzalez did a while back.

All the costumes were made by her! You can find her blogs here:

An old drawing "series" I did of how pokemon would look if they were twili-fyed. As in "twilit" from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Next in the series:

Hello, I plan (hope) to make a tail this fall and can't thank you enough for all the wonderful information. Thank you so much! I think I may use the Oceanika fin, which I understand is made of recycled rubber. Would I have to do anything special to use that as my fin? Will the rubber be an issue for the silicone? Thanks again.

Not a problem. I'm glad people appreciate the information I've put out.

I'm not completely sure, but I have seen other tail-makers use Oceanikas in their Plat-Silicone tails so I highly doubt it. Just do a small cure test before you actually attempt to make it.

Hi Kanti, I have heard you can use ultracal instead of shell shock to make molds for mermaid tails. Does it work well? The price of shell shock is ridiculous where I live and if I could find something cheaper that would work just as well I would be very happy

Yes, you can.

Ultracal is very popular mainly because of the cost, but it is much more likely to keep bubbles, shatter and is significantly heavier than Shell Shock. However, if you're trying to keep the cost low, it's an option you can consider.

A quick sketch of a couple costumes I hope to finish for Ren Faire this year. 

The white mask is based off the one from Assassin's creed. I always liked it's design :3

Hey, I was wondering if you had any idea how to make fake pointed teeth? I'm doing a cosplay as the ice queen and thats one of the things i kind of need to do.

You can actually use fake nails (acrylic nails or whatever). All you have to do is file them down with sandpaper and use dental glue to stick them on! 

[kantikane]

hey Kanti, I have the same paper punch as yours and my dad and I took it apart to file it down and we forgot where the little spring thing goes... also I am using foam sheets that have a sticky adhesive back I'm thinking of using a fiberglass resin to make my scale mold but how would I keep the fiberglass from sticking to my foam scales?

Not sure how to put it back together, but for the resin sticking issue, you have to apply lots of mold release (petroleum jelly would work).

[kantikane]

Also, can I use createx to mix with the silicone for the base or will it not cure because its latex paint?

You can use createx! It's meant to be applied to latex, not that it's made from latex, so it won't inhibit the cure of your silicone.It's actually recommended to since it's more of a "pure" pigment which means it won't interfere as much. You should always do a test first to be sure, though!
