A fan called Samantha has been cosplaying as B Smith from my Zom-B series. In Samantha's words:

"I decided to try my hand at some Zom-B makeup! I have been a huge fan of Darren Shans since I was in middle school, and a cosplayer for 8 years so its about time I combined the two. The makeup took around 2 hours, I used liquid latex, tissues and some creepy contacts to get the look down! I made the finger bones/heart out of foam clay, and it was such a challenge to sculpt them by hand! I had the photos edited and I think they look sick! Though I included the original because I am a fan of before and after's! The artist did an amazing job on the wounds I am so happy with it!"

I think she did an amazing job! If you agree, please leave her a little comment to let her know.

Samantha also recorded a few Tik Tok videos in B mode, which are well worth having a look at - there are four of them, and the last one in particular is really strong. You can check them out on the Darren Shan Discussions Facebook page where she originally posted the photos and vids: https://www.facebook.com/groups/839821919370288/permalink/4317959834889795/
