I apologize for how image-heavy this tutorial is. I was having trouble explaining things with words, so there were a lot of diagrams involved. This presents another problem, as my drawing abilities are less than impressive.
Thank you, dear! I'm very glad that you like it. Ah yes, the cosplay/age conundrum... just make sure that whatever you cosplay, stay safe and have fun! And I'm sure in a year or two you'll make a kick-ass BRS or WRS!
Spirit gum, actually. I made the mistake once of putting too much spirit gum near my eyebrow, and I'm sure you can imagine how that went...I have a better tutorial for the flame here [link]
