…ealing. @rensummers27 cut an imposing figure as the powerful yokai Sesshomaru. Inuyasha‘s older half-brother Sesshomaru made an appearance at Anime Ink Con sans his mystical sword, but with a long white wig and face paint to compliment the dog demon’s robes. Too cool for school: this super fun Squirtle Squad design by @deanna_tattoos is a scene stealer for sure. With a category specifically for Pokémon-inspired tattoos, it’s no surprise there were…

…In Baldi’s Basics in Education and Learning, the Principal of the Thing is the head of Here School. He dislikes when students break the rules like running in the halls. He’ll roam the halls and monitor for any rule-breakers to immediately send to detention, making it easier for Baldi to catch up to you….

…a safe distance away from the edge. Reinforce your grommet with hot glue. Run a strip of elastic from the grommet at one neck corner to the other neck corner and tie a knot through each grommet. Run another strip of elastic from the shoulder corner to the opposite underarm corner, and do the same for the other side, so that there is a crisscross of elastic on the back and a loop around the neck opening. The chest piece will be delicate, but you c…

…the swim club there, in hopes of going on to professional competitions. Haru has short black hair that hangs over his eyes, which are bright blue. He is usually seen wearing his Iwatobi school sports jacket, and his thigh length, tight black swim pants, with purple line detailing. Haru often (if not always) wears the swim pants underneath his every day clothes, as he’ll take every opportunity to rip off his outerwear and dive into the nearest bod…

…lack red ranger, TJ. First Black Costume Designer to Win an Academy Award: Ruth Carter Given our emphasis on costumes, we saw it best to include Ruth Carter, the first Black costume designer to win an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. Having conceptualized costumes for over 40 films, she has mastered the looks of many periods, genres, and worlds.

…ritual too! All you need is a wine bottle, some copper-colored clay, fake rubies, and a glue gun. Form the clay pieces according to a screenshot of the bottle (don’t forget to bend them to fit the bottle too!). Press in the rubies to create indents for them, then then pull them out and create place fillers out of tin foil. Bake the clay according to direction When they’re done, use the glue gun to apply the rubies and then glue the clay to the ou…

…pieces. To adhere the pattern pieces together, cover all of the edges with rubber cement. Allow the rubber cement to become tacky, and stick them together. You will be able to reposition your pieces until you are satisfied with their shape using rubber cement. If you would like to reinforce your edges, use hot glue to do so. Make sure you are attaching your pieces together using the numbers along the sides and matching them together. Each pattern…

…the last season of the hit show Gotham and fans still go back to the comic run almost a decade after its release for Snyder and Tynion’s take on the fearsome vigilante. In this iteration of Batman he often wears a horned cowl, grey suit with a black Batman symbol on his chest, purple gloves, a yellow utility belt, a black utility strap around his thigh, and black boots. Because the comic run is not as widely known as the movie versions, finding th…

…the pink part of the top. You know what this means — measuring time! Use a ruler to measure the center of the tank top. If you’re like me and lost your ruler, a tape measure is a fine substitute! Please ignore the hot glue splotch — we’ll get to covering that up later. The highest point of the shape should be in the middle just below your chest (not exactly on it — you’ll need room for more ribbon). I’m going to say we can make our point anywhere…

…asier.” Examples of costumes with prosthetics: Voldemort, Legolas, Freddy Krueger 3. Drowning Their Makeup in Blood Another mistake Ruby consistently sees is people overloading their makeup with blood. “Although blood does help bring the whole overall look together, applying too much blood can cover up different colors or texture you applied beforehand, which you will no longer be able to see,” says Ruby. If you find your fake blood all pooling to…
