…appearance than her regular shinigami (death god) form. For this specific design I’ve gone with what I believe is Megumi Hamada’s portrayal of her, as there are variations of the character between each version of the musical.

…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…

Next, cover each square with a coating of Plasti-Dip. Allow your squares to dry completely, then lay on a coat of metallic silver spray paint.
