Final Quentin

This is my final image of Quentin. I think I've achieved this look really well and my model does look really ill. The eyes stand out the most to me because of how red they are. The camera constantly fails me as without it my model did look really red and blotchy but it just doesn't come out on camera. I need to remember from now on to apply more than I think or take photos when I think I'm done and if the makeup doesn't show up enough on camera then apply more. I think the hair looks great though as it is messy and just what I wanted although you can't see the sweat but as I said I need to apply more and maybe take close ups of certain details like this.

Final Claudia

This is my final image of Claudia. I made a few alterations since I drew out my chart by applying blood on her chin and the lace is black instead of white. I applied the blood on her chin to exaggerate the idea she's a cannibal and make it more obvious. I also changed the lace to black to suit the look more as the white lace wasn't really working out.Unfortunately the camera I used didn't show up the splattered blood I put on her face and the eyeshadow isn't dark enough. I should've applied more but didn't think about it at the time. I'm happy with the lips, eye liner and eyebrows as they stand out the most and without that I don't think the look would've come out that great. I do think I have transformed my model as she does look frightening and very different without the makeup. I created the hair by straightening her hair using straighteners then making clean partings at the top and making a bun on her head but the shape didn't frame her face well so I pinned more hair back.

Quentin's Hair Chart

I find it difficult to portray how I want a male's hair to look from my head to paper but this is my best attempt. I want Quentin's hair to look messy along with sweat in his hair to carry out how unwell he looks. This will be quite easy to achieve as I am going to spray his hair with water and mess it up with my fingers.

Quentin's Chart

For Quentin I want to make him look really ill to reflect on Claudia's mood when she's depressed. To achieve this I am going to apply red blotches using the Kryolan Colour Palette as well as spraying him with water to make him look like he's sweating. His eyes are going to look tired and red by also using the Kryolan palette. To fit in with the gothic theme I am going to apply black Mac eyeliner under his eyes along with black lips.

Claudia's Hair Chart

Inspired by the image above and the gothic hairstyle I learnt where the hair is slicked back behind the ears I thought I should combined the two into this face chart. I want the hair for Claudia to be straight and smoothed back with a bun on the top and clean partings. I wanted to have a bun on top to give her hair a twist and be more interesting than just smooth hair.

Claudia's Face Charts

 This face chart revolves around the idea of Claudia being flawlessly beautiful but deadly. I thought to achieve this her eye makeup should look glamorous along with red lips to symbolise love and danger. I've applied lace under the eyes to make her look more gothic. Her eyebrows are white with an outline of red to make her look more eccentric along with blood dripping down her chin to fit the cannibalism theme. Her face is also splattered with blood because she has a fetish for it and loves spraying it on her face. I thought this idea should fit in with both face charts as I like how twisted this is.

This face chart revolves around the idea of Claudia being a mess and more grouchy than beautiful. This also expresses a more gothic look as there is a lot of black going on. I wanted to make her look hollow by contouring her cheeks grey. I think this chart shows a more eccentric look than the chart above and if I use this chart as a final it will show my ability to create something more than glamour and pretty. I thought the extreme smoky eyes and black lips would show the gloom and gothic side Claudia has as well as the lace on her eyebrows. The blood is splattered on her face as explained above. She might have blood dripping down her chin too I wasn't 100% sure when I created this chart.

Quentin's Story

I'm going to create Quentin through the idea that he looks the way Claudia feels. So when she's happy he looks amazing but when she's depressed or angry he looks fatally ill. Despite these mood changes he still will have gothic makeup applied to his face to still fit in with the theme. I think to achieve this whole idea I should make him look ill so that I can show my ability to create something more interesting than just a pretty face.
