I kept coming back between the reptile and demon pictures trying to decide which I liked best. In the end, I think this one wins out. (It was close.) The make up & technique are the star of this character and I love the copper colouring. I note that you used black as shading and wonder if you've considered (for the copper) mixing some purples and deep reds for some of the shadowing? In a horror setting (like a haunt), it won't matter, but with photography, I'm thinking it might be nice. Your application & building up the skin & the eye socket are just phenomenal. I never get scared in haunts, but I am known to comment to an actor with exceptional make up how great it is. THIS would definitely elicit that response from me. Truly wonderful and horrific. Again, I can only reiterate how impressed I am with your work & how much I look forward to seeing more of it. One more thing, do you do step-by-step photographs? Brilliant! Thanks for sharing these snaps!
ReplyDeleteMy question in the above comment should have read, "Did you do step-by-step photographs of this character development?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do not take step by step photos but i've thought about it.
