Working on a cosplay of the Faithkeepers from Frostpunk, the Frostpunk 2 design in particular.
Got most shit planned out, but anyone know of a good way to simulate soot?
Like, i could just scrub my hands on some charcoal and rub em at the cloth, call it a day, but i would like to avoid the homestuck troll makeup thing of accidentally staining shit like chairs with the soot.
An idea i had was watering down black watercolors and using that, but it feels like there has to be a better way. I'm using a thick, rough cotton cloth for the main body of the costume.
