Oh My God, What Happened to You?!?!?!

[said_scarlett]

Hi! This is nijawial! I am posting for Fey while since she doesn't want to take her cast off. Never fear! She is standing right nearby making fun of me.

Mwhahaha, I took over. Because I finally had to take the cast off because the plastic wrapping began to stick to me.

Second day of con also awesome. Spent an hour with nijawial doing my makeup, and damn was it worth it! Not only have I had people asking if I'm okay or if it's just really good makeup, a cleaning woman who saw me asked someone if she should call the hospital for me. Apparently, I look seriously injured. Luckily she happened to ask a friend of mine, since she'd seen us talking, and my friend was able to inform her it was all just costume makeup.

We keep getting compliments on it, and people who have no idea who I'm cosplaying as are asking for pictures. Always two: one front, and one back. One even asked for a small photoshoot outside while I was taking a smoke break. :D I've been kind of recognized twice: 'Are you from the Silent Hill where that guy carves stuff into people?' and 'I want to say you're from a Silent Hill, which one?'.

Anyway, let's just get right to the awesome pictures!






In the hotel room, right after I was all bloodied and bruised!



My back!



Close up! Gelatin and eyeshadow! That's it! Isn't Nija incredible? She did it all with just my makeup and a little makeup brush.





Action poses!



A kick ass Captain Jack!



I'm slowly getting used to only seeing out one eye. My depth perception is shot, which makes lighting a cigarette an adventure every time, and I can't see anyone coming up on my right side. Oh, I've also been asked if it's my real hair or not, which makes me happy, since I did the wig myself. As you can see, I ditched the shoes. Hey, if I were going through what Eileen went through, I'd ditch the strappy heels.

Bought some stuff, hung out, chatted with con-friends, and now it's relax time while Nija reapplies my makeup and touches it up. :D talia_speaks is getting in around five, and we're meeting her at the hotel.

So far, freaking awesome con. :D

Wow, you'd never know those "bruises" weren't! Amazingly successful pics there. And, I'm really pleased you're having a fantastic time - you certainly deserve it.

I am so impressed with Nija's skill. With just eyeshadow and a little gelatin. Thank you!

[jennifer.livejournal.com]

Awesome job with the makeup - the cuts on your back look real! I wouldn't know otherwise had you not said something. :D

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

I am so impressed with how Nija did. It makes the costume! :D

[zalia.livejournal.com]

Wow! That looks awesome!! That's a fantastic makeup job :D

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Isn't it incredible? Nija did such an amazing job.

[miltia.livejournal.com]

Gelatin and eyeshadow? O__O That's an AMAZING job. The bruises and the cuts, especially, look so real!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's it. Some clear gelatin to give the numbers a little depth, and then just lots of eyeshadow layered and blended to look like physical wounds. :D

[dragontrap.livejournal.com]

Dude, those numbers look wicked! And great makeup job, I commend your friend!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

I can't get over what an amazing job Nija did. We've been getting compliments all day!

[dragontrap.livejournal.com]

I bet :D!

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

Yar. I am sooooo not going to be there at five. I AM STILL IN FUCKING DALLAS!!!!!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

We have good stuff waiting for you when you get in. *hugs*

[cordeliadelayne]

Wow, that's an amazing makeup job.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

I am so thrilled with it. And I can't wait to see what Nija can do with actual costume makeup! :D

[imagines.livejournal.com]

That costume makeup is INCREDIBLE.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? I was so amazed! :D And so lucky!

[enigmablade.livejournal.com]

That's it. If I ever go to a con. I think I'm gonna rope Nija into doing my makeup. That's just waaaay too badass....

Oh yeah, and nice Jack picture XD

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously. I can't wait to invest in some actual costume makeup and see what she can do! :D

Hahahaha, yes!

[yamino-tora.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, that's seriously gorgeous. Nija's always been great with the artsy stuff, but this... wow. It's not surprising you're getting comments like that!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

I was so amazed. I was trying to do a bruise on my face myself, and was failing, and she just asked if she could give it a try and that was that! I can't wait to see what she can do with real costume makeup!

[dementedsiren.livejournal.com]

That is amazing costume make-up. Major kudos to nijaiwal (and to you for pulling off such an awesome look) - if I saw you like that I'd freak out.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

It seriously is. I was so lucky to have her! I guess I freaked out a lot of people... later, when I wasn't in character and stumbling around like I was in pain, and I was clearly fine, people were coming up to me telling me they were so worried about me - one guy was going all over trying to find me, because he thought I needed help.

[dementedsiren.livejournal.com]

Just you wait - you probably started a panic, and they're will be something on the local news tonight.
