/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey, I'm working on making a mask for a cosplay from Team Fortress 2. Some of the in-game hats have an attached particle effect and I've been looking into ways to emulate them.

If possible I want to make the "Burning Flames" and I have a couple ideas floating around, but I thought someone here might have done something similar before.

I'm thinking about possibly basing it off of the halloween air blown fires (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/868/059/557/557059868_738.jpg)), or maybe using small lights inside of fur. (http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3062480/)) I would prefer to have it move, but I'm really open to all ideas.
