STEP ONE: Pick your flavor using this guide (or mix a couple to find your perfect hue):

• Cherry = orange red
• Tropical Punch = bright red
• Peach Mango = peach
• Pink Lemonade = Barbie pink
• Strawberry Kiwi = light red
• Grape = purple

I poured it into a little bowl but you can merely use the packet as your container!

STEP TWO: Dampen your finger (our lovely model Carissa licked hers but I don’t want to sound unprofessional, lol!). Press your finger in the powder to pick up one coat.

STEP THREE: Rub your finger all over your lips. Try not to eat it immediately like we did; it is sooo hard because it’s so good!

STEP FOUR: Dampen a Q-tip to go back over it and smooth out any clumps or uneven edges.

KK SO I CAN DO THIS WITH GREEN RIGHT

(Don’t know your God Tier? Take the God Tier test here!)

My take on the God Tier and the way they are used in battle. None of these can be considered canon unless Hussie himself confirms it, either in comic or on his blog, so please do not consider them canon! Thank you! If you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask.

Heir: an offensive class that defends themselves using their aspects. More or less similar to a warrior, although it can vary between aspects. With offensive aspects, they use their aspect physically to attack the enemy and defend themselves. With supportive aspects, they use their aspect against the enemy by sending powerful physical attacks against said enemy that lowers the enemy’s defense (depending on the aspect).

Witch: an interchangeable class, Witches are dependent on their aspects, and they manipulate their aspect to benefit their team. Witches paired with offensive aspects typically serve as offensive players, but when paired with defensive / elemental aspects, they instead use their aspect to debuff the other team.

Seer: a supporting class, they root out the weaknesses of the opposing team and use the weaknesses against them. Different aspects define different ways of detecting and using the weaknesses, as well as what said weaknesses are. A Seer of Heart could see your innermost desires and crush them before your eyes, while a Seer of Doom could see the ways to go about ensuring your demise.

Knight: a defensive class, they defend others by using their aspect. Having low attack but high defense, Knights die more often in battle than other classes. A Knight combined with an offensive aspect will attack the enemy in order to let their friends flee if they are weaker, and a Knight combined with a defensive / elemental aspect will use that aspect to weaken the enemy instead of attack.

Thief: offensive tank. Similar to the Rogue class, but instead of giving the buffs to the team, they give the buffs to themselves and go all out on offensive against the opponent. Sometimes they steal their own ‘negative’ sides or emotions and give it to the other team, such as a Thief of Rage. A Thief of Rage would take their own rage and curse the other team with it, causing them to go beserk, while they become calm-minded and more prepared.

Maid: a supportive class that uses their aspect to power up other team members. Maids use their aspects to buff the team, such as Regen (for Life) or Haste (for Time). Often enough, however, they can also use this against the other team, weakening them for short periods of time so that stronger members of their own team can wipe the opponent out.

Prince: the most powerful offensive class. They are literally destroyers, with the highest physical attack and the lowest defense, and their aspect is what they ‘destroy’ in the other team. A simple but extremely dangerous class, Princes paired with offensive aspects deal extremely high physical damage, but when paired with defensive aspects, they can completely destroy a person from the inside out while keeping them very much alive.

Page: a supportive class that acts as a war medic, in a sense. They have the defensive abilities of a Knight but instead of using their aspect to protect, they use it to heal other members of their team, using their high defense to keep their own health high while expending themselves for the sake of their team members. Pages combined with offensive aspects use the typical healing qualities of the aspect, but when combined with defensive / elemental aspects, they use it to cheer on their friends, by taking away debilitating status effects instead of replenishing their health.

Sylph: an interchangeable class, Sylphs are known for being extremely powerful no matter what aspect they have. Players with this Tier are known for having surprisingly unusual qualities in their personality that one might not detect otherwise, and this reflects in their powers. Sylphs paired wait until they have low health to deal powerful physical attacks to the opposite team, while when paired with defensive aspects, they use their aspect to lower the health and defense of the opposite team slowly, almost unnoticeable, until they deal a sudden powerful physical attack to finish them off. While they are debilitating their enemies, however, Sylphs can also heal other members of their party, losing their own health in the process.

Rogue: an interchangable class, they steal buffs from the opposite team and bestow said buffs on their own team members, expending themselves in the process. Rogues serve as an expendable class due to the fact that they use their aspect in every way possible: to attack and steal. Any buffs stolen are automatically reversed on themselves in the process, but the reversal does not affect the other party members. Therefore, a Rogue of Life who stole Regen from the opposite team would inflict on themselves Curse (the opposite of Regen; drains life), but the other members would still get Regen.

Mage: a defensive class, Mages utilize their aspects to prevent negative effects to befall the team with surprising foresight. While Seers use their aspect to root out the weaknesses in the opposing team, Mages use their aspect to detect their own team’s weaknesses and prevent them from being exposed or used as a weapon. Mages with offensive aspects protect members of the team with low offense, while Mages with defensive aspects protect those with low defense.

Bard: the wildcard class. They aren’t offensive, nor defensive, nor supportive. They use their aspect to invite destruction, chaos, confusion and otherwise, and it’s truly different for each aspect. A Bard with a physical aspect utilizes their aspect to go berserk, causing chaos. A Bard with a defensive aspect unravels the aspect in the opposite team, destroying members from the inside out.

OFFENSIVE ASPECTS: Space, Breath, Mind, Rage, Doom, Light

DEFENSIVE ASPECTS: Blood, Heart, Time, Hope, Life, Void

Note on aspects: each aspect has healing qualities. Space heals physical wounds, Breath keeps players going despite very low health, Mind removes status effects as well as heals mentality, Rage can either calm players gone berserk or spur them into battle, Doom enhances the abilities of players, and Light bestows extra Luck on players to ensure more critical hits. Blood, Life, Heart, and Void heal health points. Hope removes status effects and heals mentality, and Time reverses physical wounds for a short period of time so that players can keep fighting.

Tavros Robo Leg Tutorial

akaisha0:

Also on DA: Here

Finished Result:

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my legs. They aren’t perfect yet so I really appreciate all the support! I made them hours before I had to leave for the con so I didn’t document the process all that well but I’ll do my best to explain.

Materials used:

• Craft foam
• Muslin
• Mod Podge Matte
• Mod Podge Harrd-Coat
• Hot Glue
• Contact Cement or E6000 Epoxy (if you have time to let it cure)
• Krylon Premium Sterling Silver Spray
• Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Primer White (could also use Gray)
• AppleBarrel Burgundy, FolkArt 666 Metallic Antique Copper, FolkArt 925 Wrought Iron
• Paint brushes and foam brushes
• Scissors or Exacto knife
• Magic Marker
• Athletic Grey Leggings
• Velcro
• Newspaper
• Masking Tape

Materials tried that didn’t work:

• American Accents Smooth Satin Finish in Granite
• Rust-oleum LeakSeal Flexible Rubber Coating

First image is the leggings stuffed with cotton so I could draw on them. The second image is the finished leggings on my legs:

1. Either put on the leggings and have a friend draw all the under-the-hood mechanical work with the marker while you wear the leggings or stuff the leggings with stuff in the size of your legs/slightly bigger.

2. I take newspaper and draw blobs on it  to resemble the metal plates  I want for Tav’s legs. I fit one at a time. If it doesn’t work I learn from it and go back and redraft until I have a full set of patterns in the newspaper. Draft the patterns OVER the leggings, because the leggings do make a difference.

3. Cut out the craft foam in the shapes you created with the newspaper. Sometimes a sheet isn’t big enough and you’ll need to connect two sheets together. Connect the sheets together with masking tape but do not hide the seam with anything yet! There is a step for that later. Make sure the armour is FLAT, not rounded into a cylinder yet.

Mod Podge:

4. Take your Mod Podge Matte or Mod Podge Hard coat out now. If you don’t have any make a paper mache glue out of white glue and water (usually 3 parts glue to one part water). Cut out strips of muslin or other gauzey fabric (not medical gauze!). Put a layer of the Mod Podge or Mache Glue on the back side of the armour. While still wet, layer slightly overlapping strips of the fabric on top of it. Thoroughly coat/saturate the top of the fabric so it sticks to the armour. It’s okay if it extends off the armour, just don’t glue it to the floor. Once it dries (30 minutes to an hour) you can trim away the excess. You can also do the fabric layer after the armour is closed up but I don’t advise it in flat plates like this.

What it looks like before trimming:

5. Close up the armour so it’s in a cylinder that will fit around your leg. You can hold it in place with masking tape for now on the outside and inside. Make sure the tape is PARALLEL with the seam so it can be covered.

6. Cut out strips of foam to cover the seams and add extra dimension to the leg plates. For bolts I use a combination of craft foam, metal studs/rivets, and dollops of hot glue.

7. Coat the armour in 1-3 layers of the Clear Polyurethane spray. This helps seal the foam and add strength because the foam will absorb EVERYTHING. Even primer.

8. Once dry, do a couple layers of the primer. It will NOT cover the foam entirely I’ve found. I’ve seen people recommend an automotive primer, but this is what I had on hand. You can see how light the primer is on my foam in the image of me pretending to be the Pope Of Britain in my cool new leg-plate hat :B You can sand the primer if you want but I wanted a weathered look and didn’t bother. You can also score the armour now with an exacto kife to give scratches if you want but I personally find you can get the same look with just dry-brushing paint.

9. This is where I tried different silver spray paints. I started with the American Accents Granite but it was not doing enough coverage on the foam, even with all the priming. We tried a rubber spray to help seal it too but that just pooled and bubbled and did not work either. We ran to the store and found the Krylon Premium Sterling Silver spray. I put it on the leggings and it was obnoxiously silver (like tin foil) and very full coverage. Be sure to color the edges and inside too!

10. If you want bright leggings stop there! Otherwise move on to the weathering. Similiar to my horn tutorial, I mixed paint that I thought would weather nicely. I chose the colors of paint because it was shades that I wanted for rusting. When I made my IN and Eridan horns I weathered with shades of gold instead. I mixed Burgandy, Copper, and Wrought Iron paint and slathered it on my armour in crevices and edges one small bit at a time and let it dry for 10-30 seconds. Then, I wiped it off with a damp cloth. The priming wanted it to hold so wiping it off with difficult. It either took too much or too little off so be careful. After I did this I went back with a dry brush a tiny bit of paint to add extra build up over the weathering and to weather the middle/open sections. 

11. Seal the paint one last time with a clear matte finish, matte mod podge, or even more clear polyurethane spray (or hell, if you want to, resin).

12. Slide the armour on over the leggings to judge positioning. Glue velcro onto the leggings and the leg armour with hot glue (not permanent sadly) or contact cement/e6000. Keep in mind that the last two epoxies take 60 minutes to 24 hours to cure and stick in place so you need to glue them on when the leggings are stuffed to hold the shape.

13. There you go! Flexible, easy to move in, and relatively sturdy Tavros robo legs!

Or a really cool post-apoloclyptic pope hat…
