I love how accessible this tutorial is. Foil, tape, cardboard roll. Using toilet paper as a stand for sculpting! This is probably the first cosplay tutorial that I've seen where I thought, "Yea, I could manage that!"
Honestly it's what I strive for. There's been so many new techniques in cosplay that I put off learning because of how intimidating it can all be! I just got gifted a laser cutter I've been side-eyeing it instead of teaching myself how to use it lol.
Seeing the shorts utilizing this cosplay have brought me so much joy. The look, production, and acting are great. When it comes to trying to support the horn and keep it in place, I dont know if this has been brought up but sewing into hair is a thing that can/has been done. Theoretically the thread connected to the horn could be woven through the hair, secured in a small hidden braid. If someone isnt up for sewing through a braid they could actually braid the thread in. Either way the braid can then be covered with stray hair.
This is such a good cosplay! Really nicely wrapped up! Using masking tape over the foil base for the horns to give the clay better adhesion is so smart o0o
Seriously, I think I said it on the short, you really nailed this cosplay. And it was cool seeing the start to finish and the amount of work you put in to complete it.
I just found your channel and was super impressed, you have a new subscriber, and I am off to watch some of your other videos! EPIC job bring Karlach to life!
Ditto! I shared her channel with a friend who is also into cosplay big time. Also with my daughter and her BFF, who did incredible Nazgul costumes for when their friends did a "Lord of the Wings" weekend with a marathon of the LotR movies and WAY too much good food.
@MissTwisteddd any time. Plus I love karlach, and I think anyone who resonates with her might need (like her) the occasional reminder that they are loved and valued.
This video is quite educational. I didn't know horns could be made this way... I've always heard of using plastic Woah! That backdrop halfway through the video looks awesome! Definitely very professional.
Haha thank you for the kind words! Yeah I love using random materials. Foam clay is becoming more common but the fact that you can use cardboard, hot glue, foil, wire, so many different ways to do it!
Omg I was literally about to make clay horns!! Maybe I’ll have to change my materials to foam clay… thank you sm for this video! This is gonna be sooo helpful for me
I enjoy watching all of your cosplay Movies online And you are absolutely gorgeous both with the make up on and without it keep up the excellent work ❤️
In my game Karlach is my bestie and Shadowheart is Bae. Your Karlach short is what introduced me to your channel and I adore your cosplay work and owl enthusiasm. Look forward to seeing more in the future.
Thank you so much! I think most of my subscribers came from my shorts, but I do want to do more long-form content, so I appreciate you checking this out :D
I believe the Owlchemist finally has a competitor for favorite cosplay XD Karlach is such a great character and you've done her justice, seeing the process come together was really fun and fascinating.
I recently got my first bucket of foam clay. That stuff is so cool! It changes a lot for me as far as costumes. The first thing I made was a set of horns for my forehead 😁😆
Fantastic video.... !!!! This foam clay looks just like real clay, so I want to check it out. I'm an architect who uses an oil-clay to shape my projects because it doesn't shrink, but maybe this will work well since it dry's into a light foam.
Foam clay does shrink a little when it dries so just keep that in mind! and it's more springy/stretchy. But it's not crazy expensive so it might be worth a try!
Good Lord it was a busy day at work today so I've had NO time until now to watch it. It was so good to see you again in another fantastic tutorial video!
@MissTwisteddd Nothing could stop me from watching these, haha. In fact, if there was only a limited time to watch this, I would simply stay awake to make sure I get to see it. 😅
Great how to! A useful tip: When applying the glue layer you can base coat it at the same time by adding paint to the glue. It also helps you see where you have been and what needs more so the glue layer is even.
Thank you so so much for this video. I've been into cosplay for so long but didn't know where to start. This vid looks perfect! this is gonna be my first ever cosplay wish me luck!
I have a shaved head and managed to keep some very large 3D printed horns attached for 4 hours with prosaid this year for a faun costume. Definitely going to try working with that foam next time.
On first glance, before even seeing your cosplay, you have the PERFECT face shape for a Karlach cosplay, im thrilled to see the end result And to clarify, I don't think Cosplays always need to be 100% accurate, but ill be honest, I really love it when they are, personally I believe everyone should be able to cosplay their favorite characters, no matter their budget or body
Woah Rit works on latex?? I am absolutely trying that!! Though I like having most of mine just painted as I try and reuse them for different projects quite often.
I admire the way you manage the curves in your work w/out heavy upper math. Our track is different but the clothing side is really something. Ergo becomes more common and is subdivided out to other experts in Engineering. I move to Pure Science now 2 deg. 1st BS. Almost ready to return a bit more set up.
Little tip for getting foam clay to stick to other surfaces, just lightly wet the surface you want it to stick to with some water. It works surprisingly well
@@MissTwisteddd yup, PAX Aus. I can't believe it's just over a week to go. I've got my 3D printed going as fast as I can, but it's going to be difficult. I'll keep my eyes out for you!
@MissTwisteddd lol yeah. I *think* it's safe if you decide how to deal with the Grove prior to recruiting Karlach. In my case she'd just joined my party when I told Mithara I'd help defeat the druids and she promptly noped out. She didn't even swing a sword once for me (which happened to be the awesome fire greatsword from the tutorial, which she walked off with 😭)
You inspired me to make my first tieflings horns ever (or my first piece of cosplay ever so to speak)! I have them done by now and I wanna try to glue them on to see if I'm gonna need to make some adjustments... but I wonder... if I do that it will not damage the base once I take them off? Will I be able to glue them again on my forehead in the future? Thank you for the tutorial! It gave me the courage to try to make my own horns 😁😁
I learned at @NorthoftheBorder that the technical term for those "long sausage shapes" is "wormy dealies" :D Great Video, I love all of your creations!
I'm making my dragonborn Tav rn as we speak with a dinomask as a base and a ton of foam clay so this video notification was almost cosmic 😂 felt like you were in my walls
This is incredible :D Quick suggestion-to make glowy things look like they're _actually_ for real glowing, add pure white in the middle and blend the edges a little into the surrounding color!
Oh yeah I debated trying that! But since her glow is very much under the skin I thought it might be too much, realistically though it would have blended into the yellow nicely!
@@MissTwisteddd What matters most is how much you nailed the rest of the look! And hey, with how much she curses, you being an Aussie is icing on the cake. :D

karlach best girl
Objectively true.
Damn right🍷🗿
Soldier.
Tali Zorah best girl...
Wait a minute. I'm having flashbacks 😅
@@nyetloki You mean Liara🗿
You're gorgeous! I was mesmerized watching your work here. Thank you!
You brought Karlach to life. Awesome.
Hollywood FX level honestly.
This is completely amazing. Great job you look so amazing
Karlach is my inngame beloved. And awsome job on the cosplay!
9:20 the layered black and red hair looks super dope here.
I very love Karlach she is my favorite character in the game. And omg you did a rly GOOD work! Your Karlach cosplay is amazing. 🥰
Karlach is the GOAT hands down. Fantastic job you look amazing!

That's actually such a good idea! Would be more secure than just a bobby pin like I used!
Excellent tutorial, MissTwisted! It always amazes me how resourceful cosplayers are. 👍🏼

I love when TH-cam recommends gems like this to me. Fantastic job, looks awesome!
Seriously, I think I said it on the short, you really nailed this cosplay. And it was cool seeing the start to finish and the amount of work you put in to complete it.
Karlach has been my favorite you did amazing at bringing her to life!
I just found your channel and was super impressed, you have a new subscriber, and I am off to watch some of your other videos! EPIC job bring Karlach to life!

I was only here for the horns and ended up watching the whole video. You're awesome 🖤
You make this all look so easy! I admire the discipline, knowledge, and creativity it must take to figure everything out the way you do.
A lot of work, effort, and dedication, you do very nice work and looks very nice! ❤ I love it!
Man, you cosplay folks are so talented with your creations. Makes me so jealous!
You have done a great job. The result is very impressive!
Always blown away the level of work cosplay folks can do.
Wow. This is seriously awesome. It's not surprising that you're almost at 1M subs. Can't wait for more content!
You are, as always, a pleasure to watch and learn from. Your joy, passion, and creativity is awesome.
Thankyou.
Thank you I appreciate that so much!
@MissTwisteddd any time. Plus I love karlach, and I think anyone who resonates with her might need (like her) the occasional reminder that they are loved and valued.
You are so good at this, it's jaw-dropping. Amazing work as always.
Your attention to detail is fantastic as is your use of materials. I adore this look, but I LOVE the Owlchemist! You are so talented. Magical!
Juniper (the name of my Owlchemist) is always going to be my favourite too!
You knocked it outta the park! You made a great Karlach!
This video is quite educational. I didn't know horns could be made this way... I've always heard of using plastic

Wow...just wow....and thats without the cosplay! :P Keep up the amazing work!
That turns out fantastic and I did not know about two of those substances, thank you for sharing!
Yay foam clay! I just used this for the first time in a cosplay I made recently 😁 You look amazing!!
It's so much fun to work with right?? Thank you so much!
@@MissTwisteddd yes! I made horns too, for King from Owl House and your welcome! 😁
You do long form videos too😮 I found you on shorts ❤ thanks for the original content, very creative 🎉
Thank you for being here! I really want to do more long form videos rather than just shorts all the time, so I appreciate it!
Amazing work. I was blown away when I saw that first vid on TikTok. You never fail to impress!
Love the way you put Karlach into reality. It is actually helpfull to make a makeup for a tiefling makeup myself for an incoming convention
I enjoy watching all of your cosplay Movies online And you are absolutely gorgeous both with the make up on and without it keep up the excellent work ❤️
Made me fall in love with the character of Karlach again…thanks for the tutorial
In my game Karlach is my bestie and Shadowheart is Bae.

Thank you so much! I think most of my subscribers came from my shorts, but I do want to do more long-form content, so I appreciate you checking this out :D
Karlach is my fave! You look incredible! Yeah, I'm also obsessed with BG3, too. It's become a problem and I don't care.
you look frickin amazing and completely nailed it!
This looks really great. Also, you're a great Karlach!
Great video, really enjoyed following the process! You're gorgeous, Karlach is gorgeous, all in all, gorgeous production :)
I believe the Owlchemist finally has a competitor for favorite cosplay XD
Karlach is such a great character and you've done her justice, seeing the process come together was really fun and fascinating.
I think Juniper (the Owlchemist) will always be my first and only favourite but I definitely enjoyed doing Karlach!
Well, your love for Juniper really comes through when you're in character. 😄
You look amazing. Well done.
I recently got my first bucket of foam clay. That stuff is so cool! It changes a lot for me as far as costumes. The first thing I made was a set of horns for my forehead 😁😆
OMG o_0
😍😍😍
You would be one one the best Karlach Cosplayer on a con imo 😃🥰

What an amazing job, everything is perfect, you did very well there, nice efforts good lookin' !
You look beyond phenomenal!!!
I wish i had this skill and patience it looks AMAZING. JFC WOW
Good Lord it was a busy day at work today so I've had NO time until now to watch it. It was so good to see you again in another fantastic tutorial video!
I'm always glad to hear it! I will keep trying at longform content till it takes off so always appreciate you taking the time to watch!
@MissTwisteddd Nothing could stop me from watching these, haha. In fact, if there was only a limited time to watch this, I would simply stay awake to make sure I get to see it. 😅
☆ This is Outstanding!!!
Thank you for sharing with us fans!!!
That's amazing. Can't tell the difference between you and the game.❤🔥
it feels so cute pretending that te outro was from an actual red person just wrapping up a make-up tutorial!
Omg, I don't know what's more beautiful, your smile or the cosplay 😮❤
Aaaw thank you! Makes me blush!
@@MissTwisteddd hahaha, I'm a cosmaker here in Brazil, and you are my new inspiration 😍
Great how to! A useful tip: When applying the glue layer you can base coat it at the same time by adding paint to the glue. It also helps you see where you have been and what needs more so the glue layer is even.
Ooh like mixing in some acrylic into the flexbond? That's awesome I've heard of that before but never tried it myself!
Yep! I find it super time saving and helpful for a lot of cosplay/costume making
Awesome! Very nicely done.
Thank you so so much for this video. I've been into cosplay for so long but didn't know where to start. This vid looks perfect! this is gonna be my first ever cosplay wish me luck!
This is genius! I was so much looking for a Tiefling-Horn Tutorial for a cosplay, so thank you! I will try this method! :D
Wow. So much beauty !
I have a shaved head and managed to keep some very large 3D printed horns attached for 4 hours with prosaid this year for a faun costume. Definitely going to try working with that foam next time.
AMAZING TRANSFORMATION ! And I learned a lot ! Super inspired to get back into my costume love ❤️🔥 TY
Hope your next project ends up awesome!
So here's a "quick one" that I just "threw together". So crazy good and you look amazing!
These tutorials are great fun too and really informative
This was so awesome, you have a lot of talent!
You do A Great Job , with make up
Looks realistic. Love your voice your my favorite, love the owl.
Thank you. For dressing up, I like it
On first glance, before even seeing your cosplay, you have the PERFECT face shape for a Karlach cosplay, im thrilled to see the end result
And to clarify, I don't think Cosplays always need to be 100% accurate, but ill be honest, I really love it when they are, personally
I believe everyone should be able to cosplay their favorite characters, no matter their budget or body
You nailed it wow very talented!
awesome work wow i know how hard cosplay people work
I would never have thought the base for those horns was alfoil and toilet paper tubes. Incredible use of on-hand items! ❤
Edit: bade to base.
pretty cool! I would never be able to do that.
Excellent tutorial, thank you for the very detailed explanations
Omg. This is my favorite so far! 😍
Dude how do u even get this good at doing and making cosplay things🤔
Hahaha honestly years and years and years of practice and just constantly crafting!
I honestly have the attention span of a baby lol😅
This looks fantastic. How much detail there is in it. Cool.
Just imagine the situation if the postman or a neighbor rings the doorbell.
*laughs
It has happened to me before, it's always very funny!
Ha my name was there at the end. :) amazing work Misstwisted your Karlach is awesome.
such an amazing job!!
Looks amazing!!!
So gorgeous!!
That looks soooo good
You can use Rit (brand), or similar, synthetic dye on those silicone ears to get them to take color. Same way you would dye cloth.
Woah Rit works on latex?? I am absolutely trying that!! Though I like having most of mine just painted as I try and reuse them for different projects quite often.
I admire the way you manage the curves in your work w/out heavy upper math.

Great video, really look. I'll also add it great to hear things named correctly, it IS sticky tape and aluminium foil, and no one can argue that 😂
Little tip for getting foam clay to stick to other surfaces, just lightly wet the surface you want it to stick to with some water. It works surprisingly well
Looks amazing!
This is wayyyy too much for a "casual" look!! 😅 AWESOME JOB 😍😩🔥💯
Haha I guess compared to cosplays where you spend months on them, a couple of days isn't so bad!
I love her videos so much and she inspires me I just wish I was better at making things
That‘s soo amazing! 😍🔥
you look like a younger karlach, looks awesome!
That's seriously awesome! I'm currently going crazy trying to finish a Shadowheart cosplay in time for PAX (though Karlach is my fav character)
PAX Aus?? That's so awesome! I'll be there hopefully as Purah!
@@MissTwisteddd yup, PAX Aus. I can't believe it's just over a week to go. I've got my 3D printed going as fast as I can, but it's going to be difficult. I'll keep my eyes out for you!
Now this is fire 🔥
Awesome cosplay!
Sadly I lost Karlach very early as a party member as she doesnt gel with an 'evil' playthrough 😥
I just finished the game and I'm so tempted to start an evil playthrough but I don't wanna lose Karlach 😂
@MissTwisteddd lol yeah. I *think* it's safe if you decide how to deal with the Grove prior to recruiting Karlach.

I have been play Bauldur's Gate for the past weak or so, my favorites to have on the party are Astarion and Karlach
AAAAAAHHHHH I'm fanboying!!!
so creative!
this is extremely beautiful
