Ok, I couldn't read that, but funny.

My first impression (without being able to read their comments) was that those were photoshops, but that last one where the dude(et?) is out in the ocean makes me think "Yeah, they really were playing with fire"

Did it say what they used? They both had on gloves, so did they wet them and then add a superficial coat of acetone or isopropyl alcohol?

I'm especially curious about the purple flame, it looks like they threw a container and when they were holding it only the container (or even just a soaked rag?) was burning. But what chemical did they use to alter the color?

I have now seen Hardcore cosplay... Wow.

Jon, I believe the first purple flame is just the lighting, and the others, maybe lighting again, but also possibly photoshop. But probably lighting. It looks like these pictures were taken at dawn-ish with film that needs full daylight for proper exposure.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out why they did this photo shoot next to the ocean .

Also jon, the purple is a effect that they more than likely created on a computer, if you look at the clips under the pictures they show the fire as normal.
