Orc
An other break in the posting there as I didn’t have any new work t share or anything special to say. I’ve been shooting a lot so I have a bunch of stuff to show off.
First off is some work I did to prepare for an upcoming scifi artshow (which I’ll post more about later on). I did make up in these images as well as I went to the lord of the ring inspired Orcs.
Halloween Make Up – Round 2
Last time I showed some make up that I did over Halloween. Now to show off some great make up that Ellwyn and Tina did as well.
First off is a fairy make up that the client saw at the local Ren Faire. Ellwyn and Tina tag-teamed this and worked very hard and passionately on it. And she came out looking great. The stencil and airbrush on this really came out well.
Next is something Ellwyn really excels at. Years back around the time Titanic came out Ellwyn looked into making a frozen corpse make up with icicles and what researched what parts of the bodies decayed first and came up with a great look that a lot of people like. This client asked to look like the original image Ellwyn had did, and once again she did a great job.
One the employee’s of the store was going out that night and asked to be painted for her medusa costume. I believe Ellwyn and Tina did a tag team effort again with the airbrush.
Halloween Make Up – Round 1
So for Halloween and the big party days around the costumed holiday I do some make up for people at Josie O’Kain Costume Shop. Thought I’d share some of the work I did on people who came into the shop. Now I have a bad habit of not shooting everyone I work on. So some cool things fell through the cracks, but it’s a nice sampling.
First off we have The Joker. I did a few of these this year. The big trick was the scars cause everyone wants the scars. I think I could have gotten them a bit closer, but I was more concerned over making something that would last a night of dance, sweat, and booze. I tried to make the make up sloppy, and I make it so as the night pressed on it would look worse and worse, and more like the movie. But this image is the immediate look.
Next, we have a club DJ who wanted to be DJ AM, a club DJ who was in a fiery plane crash earlier this year and suffered massive burns. Not such a fun concept when I lay out the info like that, but, really, making the burns was fun. Also I think it turned out pretty cool.
Now, we have some couples. We had a bride a groom, who were an actual bride and groom! They got married during the day. Came to the shop to have their make up done, and then were off to the reception. Fun stuff! I worked on adding some wounds to the groom, and Ellwyn (or maybe it was Tina. I honestly wasn’t paying attention at the time.) did a glittery fairy make up on the bride.
Finally today we have an other couple going as Beetlejuice and Lydia. I worked on BJ, and Ellwyn worked on Lydia. They also the rented their costumes from the shop as well. The couple won a contest at the party they went to.
In the next post I’ll have more fantastic make up from the Halloween weekend that Ellwyn and Tina worked on.
Zombie Jamboree
An other shot I did for the Josie O’Kain Costume Shop web page. Unfortunately due to some technical difficulty this one never really made it up in time. One of things I like about doing zombie make up is that there are so many different ways of making them. Before I made a pretty normal color zombie with gashes. This one is a more grey and splattered blood. I had made a massive cut on her cheek, but it got covered by her hair when shooting.
Also after the shoot I took her over to Wendy’s for a fun shot for a restaurant photo contest the next day.
