HELIX Infected Cosplay
Recently, I attended my first convention, Awesome Con… Meaning it was time for my first cosplay. I wasn’t able to go as extreme building a costume as other cosplayers this year, so I went with my strengths and created a creepy special effects makeup. I fell in love with the new Syfy show, HELIX. I’m a sucker for zombie-esque outbreaks, especially when they are spewing black goo from all orifices. Mimicking that look, would be more interesting than your average everyday zombie, so I combined a few of the looks from the show and went with it. I have done a couple zombie makeups before, so I was excited to try more of an infected look with an Arctic weather look on top of that.
I started with a frost bitten effect makeup and then added fake craft store snow and black goo. I also found fine-point liquid eyeliner to use for the veining.
It wasn’t as extreme as some of the other cosplayers, but I, at the very least, impressed myself.

The best part was riding the Metro leading to Awesome Con. People didn’t know what to do and most of them refused to sit next to me.
