I wanted to look at some real acid burns so that the burn I give Quentin is as realistic looking as possible. Human skin does not react to silver like the vampires' in True Blood so I didn't find any images where skin has burned when touching metal. However I did find some images of when acid had been thrown over skin and the results shocked me.

Above shows the after math of a chemical burn. The woman put some house hold drain cleaner down her sink and then it exploded back up into her face causing second-degree burns. She reacted very quickly, keeping her eyes shut and she washed her face all the way to the hospital where she was taken to the specialist burns unit to be treated. This burn has many colours to it, with deep red, bright red, black, brown and yellow. The burn looks very uneven in texture as some parts look to have scabbed over and some parts look very shiny. I don't think that Quentin's burns would have had time to scab over because the silver is still 'burning' his skin whilst the image is being taken so it would be very raw; however I will include the same colouring in his burn.
