It first comes always differently and secondly, never as you think... part2!

So... well... due to the weather forecast we had to change plans and for that reason I simply decided not to practice and just try to make up this burn scar...

So in the morning I noticed: Shit... the latex I bought behaves differently! It was much to runny and as I got to know at the con later on from another Zuko cosplayer (great to meet her besides!) there are different types XD and mine is possibly only good for bigger long term stuff.

Ok... so I last minute decided to go back to what I know... Afterall years back I already had made a nice burn scar for Lal Mirch from KH Reborn! using gelatine.

Some years back using gelatine for Lal Mirch's scar

So... I just put it into cold water for about 10 minutes, then into a bit of hot to solve it a little and just splashed it onto my face in small slimy portions. Really takes a bit of patience and a hair dryer to accelerate the drying a bit.

Just the gelatine on my face.
 Afterwards I used some make up tips from this great youtube tutorial by Tal Munis. Basically I used lip stich though for the colour on the gelatine but also a tiny bit of red aqua colour and basic powder. Especially on the eye brow and around the scar I also used foundation. In the area just around the eye without gelatine I also applied some red aquacolour and quite some dark red/violet, brown and even black eyeshadow. The result before peeling of some extras was about this:


As I thought it would fit better to the scarred eye I put on even less makeup to hide the dark circles under my other eye xD.
Well... I very happy with the result in fact. I just want to improve hiding the eyebrow next and maybe I might use a bit less of black colour on my eye.
Besides the final result with wig looked like this:

And the full cosplay:

Well... I just wasn't so happy to use public transport on my own going through half of Vienna right before noon looking like this... I was sursprised though that I didn't see any stares o.O or maybe I just didn't want to see them... ^^''. 
The con day all in all was very warm and great. It was very much fun with the Ember Island gang :) and we also met another Zuko (as already said), a book fire Katara and two Tophs at the con :). 
So really want to do his later book fire version now and the tea serving version from Ba Sing Se ^-^. And of course wear this cosplay again. A shooting at a river or lake together would also be great.

  1. Thanks a lot! Happy that you like it and about the advice. Then I will really try this next time.
    Hope there will be one xD. Maybe it will take as long as next year cause September is so full of plans, I don't want to shoot without the rest and later it will get a bit cold for that.

    In a group I don't give a damn either but... I felt a bit lost in Vienna. And it also depends on the cosplay. Kyo Sohma was no bother at all. But Zuko was another story in this version. But I guess it made me even less conscious about it in the future.
    So your Hetalia cosplays get lots of attention? Cause of uniforms or why? Don't know them so I can't tell.

  2. In the end I would just like to hear the full story.^^ I know Hetalia besides and understand.

    Guess to the rest I don't have to add much.
