We’ve been working on preproduction for Hendstrom a lot lately – I’ve drawn out some costume alterations, put together a list of costume thingies I need – and, as you can see in the last post, started trying crazy stuff with eyeliner. I’ve decided to invest in tattoo pens instead, because 10 minutes in the…

First attempt at some kind of fantasy character makeup – using eyeliner and eyeshadow for everything, except some red lipstick. I know it sucks, but you have to start somewhere.

I may have to start doing a series of blog posts on preproduction makeup, as I attempt to learn how to do it. Unfortunately, I spent most of my teen years avidly avoiding makeup like the plague, so my ability in doing anything creative with it is…wanting. But I can pretend it’s all paint, right?

Surprisingly, I’ve been more creative this week (unsure if it’s because, or in spite of) than I have in months. Over…

I’ve been working on a list in graphic form all year, and as 2012 comes to a close (and not the end of the world) I thought, hey, a few days early (because I expect to be in the throws of pre-production and gaming over the holiday) why not actually post the cool things list?…

Reading: The Legend of Drizzt: Homeland. I’m not very far, but I’m loving it. Watching: The Hobbit, amazing. Django Unchained: So. Good – and I’m not a huge Tarantino fan, but this was great, and maybe I’ll watch Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs now that I know not all of his movies are like Inglorious…
