Should be done in a couple hours, honestly, I doubt it will take long.

Oh yay! Good luck and take your time, I'm sure they will turn out great

Hehe Im really excited but I will take my time on the details and all that. I'm also using this opportunity to test different types of pigment in silicone so we'll see how that works out.

Woo, testing! I'm back from vacation now but my mum's got the flu so I'm not going to bother her with this right now. Hopefully she'll be better soon though.

Aww geeze
Flus suck, especially when they make you throw up and get diarrhea D: I hope she gets better

**MerEmma** · 03-20-2013, 03:02 PM

Yeah, I know... luckily she doesn't have it too terribly. I hope nobody else in the family gets it though. My sister and I are doing my mom's work (online job) and my dad's really busy thanks to spring break so none of us can really get sick.
But omigosh, that gif is so accurate of how I play video games. xD

Hahaha yea me too or at least when I see something scary xD

Hmm Im starting to wonder if making gills is really tedious of if Im overdoing it.

**MerEmma** · 03-20-2013, 04:07 PM

I couldn't help you with that, unfortunately. Hopefully it's not too tedious, though.

**Kanti** · 03-20-2013, 04:22 PM

It's not too bad! I think it's just tedious. Spacing the fringes out evenly and trying to get a nice point etc. I think I'm done, I'm going to make the mold now

**MerEmma** · 03-20-2013, 05:05 PM

Woo! Can't wait to see your progress.

**Kanti** · 03-20-2013, 06:14 PM

Yea I put it in the mold like 15 min ago, Im going to take it out soon and grab a quick photo

**Aino Revontuletar** · 03-20-2013, 06:19 PM

Ooh can't wait to see it!

**MerEmma** · 03-20-2013, 06:25 PM

Same. =D

**Kanti** · 03-20-2013, 07:37 PM

Alright here they are (or at least one)

These were pigmented INTO the silicone, there is no topcoat of paint, nor blend.. Nothing really.
I also didn't have the silicone adhesive so I sort of had to stick them on so the seams are a bit visible but not even so much! The back part came off a few times no matter what because that's the area where my hair is, therefore, little to no grip in that area.
(also sorry for the frontal photo, I didn't realize how shiney it was until afterwards hehe)

They're awesome! Will you each set you do be the same, or will you have to make multiple moulds?

**Aino Revontuletar** · 03-20-2013, 07:40 PM

WOW they look incredible!!!

**Kanti** · 03-20-2013, 07:44 PM

Thanks guys!
And yes Melaina, you're getting a pair of these and a pair of body gills as well, which I will hopefully complete tonight. Also, no I won't make multiple molds, they will all look exactly like what you see above
