Dacrophelia - Mastertouch by ~Niansa

I think it’s hard to find good photography of true emotions such as sadness and crying. This beautiful set of photos shows the progress of how the face change when crying. The photographer did not fake this; these are real tears and real emotions put into this artwork.

Reblogging old post because srsly, this is how a crying face looks like.

89% of the results I get when I search for “crying” on dA is just ppl with a blank stare with tears running down the cheeks. Sure that can look appealing in a artistic sense, but photos like this one is much more real.

Cosplay Armor: Vinyl or Spandex Over Foam

Thu, 16 May 2013 20:55:59 -0400

projectcosplay:

We tend to see these tutorials not in English so here is a fabulous Spandex over Foam Tutorial from Ruffle Butt Cosplay.

While the tutorial is made with Spandex, you can definitely use it with 2-way or 4-way stretch vinyl.

Here are pictures of cosplay armor using this method.

BTW, this is Goldy. He popularized this method and is one of my cosplay idols. He creates workshops for this in Japan and is super nice. I met him in person and really wished I was able to take a picture with him. I hope our paths cross again!

Draw whatever you want to "glitch" up

use the square select tool...

...and move parts of the object just a little, to give it a cool effect

keep doing this and even add and cut squares in if you want

here I used another layer and placed a blue square over top of it, and turned the opacity down to 34% (changed the BG color so you could see better )

Cut squares into the blue square..

now lock the opacity on it, and go crazy with colors. Glitches are usually pretty insane with colors, so don't try to make it blend or compatible with your object

now I go back to my original glitch layer and raise the saturation all the way up. It gives it a nice look.

Then I draw an outline over top. This isn't really necessary, but I find it makes things look nicer :3

Basic Male Cosplay Makeup Tutorial!

aka: Alex rambles on for 24 minutes about cosplay, binders, wig caps, contacts and makeup with the goal of being at least somewhat helpful?

I had a few requests asking how I did my male makeup for cosplay so here you go! Apologies for the length, I go into a bit more than just the makeup so it ended up longer than I planned. Also, I said it ten times in the video and I’m going to say it again here; cosplay makeup is very character and face specific. This is what I’ve found works for me personally but I both recommend and encourage looking at other tutorials to see what works best for you!

Things I mentioned:

underworks (binder)

kiwiberry1-collection (circle lenses)

youknowit (theatrical lenses)

Why Monistat Chafing Gel is a Great Primer.

Male vs. Female Contouring Guide

This video does an excellent job of showing where and how to EXACTLY contour for a masculine face.

For those who want a more dramatic eye try here and here.

This is mainly a female makeup tutorial but it’s a really great one and can be applied to male makeup as well so check it out!

How to property put on a wig cap/wig.

I forgot to mention; use concealer to cover up under eye shadows or dark spots before applying foundation. Also a good nude lipstick can go a long way in making your lips look more masculine!

Huzzah! I’ve been excited to see this come out. Totally useful advice!

Useful for any of my followers?

I’m really glad I found this blog oh gosh you’re like a godsend

I really struggle with figuring out how to draw armor, this was my first mock up of a character that has a more or less important role in act one of a webcomic I’m working on. She’s a general, and I’m more or less trying to pin down something more or less pretty basic in terms of her armor. She’s only going to be shown in armor a few times. (I’ve included her more prominent outfit. The king’s color is royal purple.)

This is already a few months old, and absolutely atrocious now that I’m looking at it again (the pauldron and cuirass and wow everything)…especially now that I need to start actually working on her because she’s going to be showing up in pages soon.

Could you maybe steer me in the right direction for something that’s not ungodly boring to look at? (and feasible?)

I’d gladly take any suggestions on the other outfit, too.

Hope this helps!

Speaking of different body shapes. These are all basically peak human bodies.

How come 99% of them don’t conform to what the entertainment industry tells us is the perfect body?

This is a FABULOUS set of body refs. So glad this came back across my dash so I could reblog it here :D

These images are from a book by Howard Schatz of various Olympic athletes, which was titled “Athlete.” You can buy the book [here]. Also, have some more photos from it:

Never not reblogging this.

Awesome!
