Yay! The scar-effekt is coming out really good :3
But if it was me, I would make the center part of the eye even darker, seing as Zuzu's skin is almost dark-brown in some episodes XD
aaand I would make the scar go a little further to the nose on it's bottom part (don't know how to say thiiis XD)
but the skin lookes really burned, so I think it's great
ah, and just maybe, darkening your right eyebrow would help you look a little older, at least that's what I was told after my first shooting XD

And I think the lenses are just fine :3
they look natural, not as flashy as some cosplayers like to use

altogether: nice work

oh i do darken the other eyebrow when i'm going to a con or a shoot (though i've forgotten a couple times). Thanks for the encouragement it is a bit difficult to decide on scar colour shades, as it's an older Zuko i've gone for a more aged/faded look, working more on trying to get it more realistic. Still gonna keep trying to improve it (there's a couple entirely different methods i wanna try)

ah okay XD
and no problem
hmmm okay, if you look at it that way, why not ^^
I personaly think that if you make it look more realistik it will look a little to plain on the pictures, but I'm the kind of person who thinks that you have to see his scar from afar already and so aplies a lot of make-up.
But you're choise is just as justified and nice ^^

and what do you use now to make it?

hahaha well you def want to be able to see it, no one wants shyamalan's zuko
few layers of thick liquid latex, building it up. red base makeup then brown & black going closer to the eye. brushed blending powder over it all to fade it in then i typically do more colour to highlight bits & use foundation to blend the edges.

i want to trial out a makeup my friend uses for his joker scars, it shrinks the skin in, drawing it in on itself. great effect. can't remember the name of it.

yep, my friend uses this too ^^
It gives a nice effect indeed but I'm still sticking with my glue since it's waaay cheaper xdd
but I can only recomend it :3

Again, this scar is incredible...very detailed. And you are better-looking than Zuko...

hahaha, thanks a lot i'll take the compliment but i'm sure there's an army of fan girls that would declare war on someone ranking Zuko second to a zuko cosplayer

I really don't like Zuko as a character, fanservice or not, because he's really whiny. XD I wasn't impressed with his body in "The Beach" episode. And even when he went to the 'good side' I still wasn't happy with him. But you make him look good, and I bet you're a lot nicer than he is. I'll take on that army of angry fangirls now.

and she was never heard from or seen again... i can get into the whole 'tortured teen' thing of Zuko but i guess i'm seeing it from a different side to girls who are fans of him. For me its a journey of purpose and self-worth, of moving from destructive passion to peaceful self-acceptance. I was certainly as whiny as Zuko when i was 16... I like to think I've grown. Course i'm not that much more buff than Zuko was in 'the Beach'

That's a good way to think of it, I'd never actually considered that angle before...I'm actually an adult Aang fangirl.
