#121

The game is on! :smiley:

:goes back to painting:

#122

wow so cool! Really nice work Linda, I can’t wait to see what the final result will look like.

:bounce:

#123

On indeed, I love the scales around your nose and lips, freaky wisps from there are a bit like smoke, maybe get an extra mirror to view your side?

Looking great!!!

:scream:

#124

Getting there :smiley:

#125

Drops jaw and lulls eyes about

I’m going to shut up and watch from here. That’s freaky cool!!! :scream:

:love: It looks completely bumpy, wow! :eek:

#126

Awesome!!:bounce:

#127

Oh my god Linda…I am seriously impressed. That looks freaking incredible.

Might be a stupid question…but…what exactly are you painting your face with? (in someone says “face paints” I’ll strangle you :P)

#128

Ooooooooooooooooo wow so cool!!

#129

Holy wow! :scream: Your face looks sooo cooool (well… more like ‘hot’ with that extreme red color :wink: )! :twisted:

When will the party begin? :rolleyes: :buttrock: You’ll be ‘the man’, but then female! :wink: :scream:

Good luck with it! It looks sooo cool!

haha - Linda I hope you don’t mind but damn you are crazy :smiley:
All this work for one evening? It looks awesome though and I am also looking forward to see the pictures of the whole outfit :thumbsup:

#131

When Linda partys, she partys harcore! :smiley:

You’re a work of art. Take craploads of photos when you’re done!:twisted:

#132

I AM SO KNACKERED!

SO worn out D:

But I had an insane amount of fun!

My camera ran out of batteries shortly after I got back home and I’m so tired, I want to wash the makeup up… but I managed to snap some photos of the costume, I thought I’d share. Thank you so much for all the support, everyone! It was great fun sharing this with you!

(I use makeup by Kryolan Brändel or Grimas. Simple-style theatre makeup).

:smiley: so much fun!!!

it’ll be hell getting it off though :frowning:

#133

I dread to see your bath after you get all that off! :smiley:

Now do Christmas! :applause:

#134

Haha you are awesome :smiley: I wish I looked half as good in my make up hehe. It didn’t turn out the way we hoped so next year I’ll try it again with some expert help :wink: I wish I had been there… Party on my end was so-so :slight_smile:

Now go take a bath and a long rest and then start sketcing on next years costume :smiley:

#135

Whoa! Kick ass. :buttrock: Was not expecting it to look like that, but I love it! :smiley: I’m so glad you had a good time. You certainly earned it. <3 I can’t decide how you look… evil and sinister yet refined and elegant, but the helmet still reminds me of something warlike. It’s a lovely effect… very ambiguous. You looks frightening and alluring at the same time.

Your face looks so neat. Amazing makeup job; I’m so impressed with the level of detailing. Especially that little trail of glitter over your cheek. Why I find it so cool, I’m not sure. o.o

Wonderful job. <3 Thanks so much for sharing your progress with us. :]

#136

That’s seriously intense, Linda. I’d have preferred you as a beautiful wood nymph or a forest fairy, but this is damn awesome.

#137

Gees you turned out great!

Such a tasteful whole! I love it. :love: Love how you 've followed the contours of your face, like the scales going up to your ears. _ And the horns going up backwards.

Truelly great stuff. All the bumps and nooks and folds h-whohw, and the jewellry alltogether. I’m almost inclined to agree with Kyena, it’s insane, lol. But so beautiful. Stunning! You always make the place that much more interesting! :scream:

I’m gonna be making sulk paintings for weeks. “We don’t have anything here, nah-hah-haa!”

#138

wow Linda! Magnificant! What did your friends at the party think of your design? I bet they loved it!

Great work! :slight_smile:

#139

Thank you so much :smiley: I’m preeningly happy that you like the costume!

It was insane yesterday. I actually had people bowing to me as I passed them by - I was treated like royalty, ha ha. I think I had about a hundred times as much fun as I’ve had any other halloween… and this even when I could hardly dance in the costume. The collar and the horns forced me to keep my neck pretty rigid and my head high at all times - I suppose in a rather regal pose (what people kept telling me anyway).

Weirdest thing? Guys were hitting on me! What the hell?! The way I looked, I wouldn’t have touched me with a stick o.O

I’m so tired. Sooo worn out. I’ll go take another bath, see if I can get the last of the glue out of my hair.

I’ve been following this thread all the way through, and would just like to say what an awesome job you did on your costume.

I eagerly awaited and was thoroughly impressed.

Looking forward to next haloween :slight_smile:

Hope all is well and good luck getting the glue out!
