Quentin

After my last post about development of Quentin's face charts i feel i have a lot more of a clearer idea about what sort of idea i would like to portray within the visuals of my characterisation of him now i have created further my Claudia character. As the genre within gothic horror i am aiming for is ghost and that bringing to life the dead/ paranormal sprits i feel this is a very loose concept in visuals about how a spirit should look this is something that drew me to the idea that i could almost create something that can be visualised and i feel this related to Quentin also. Claudia's visual character shows a ghostly unearthly sexualised version symbolising reference to the grudge but inspired by Paranormal Activity so almost a being thats brought to life but i wanted Quentin to represent more the demon the bad spirits with the films paranormal activity. I feel that fact he is a demon shows how Claudia is almost possessed by him although she created him in her head she doesn't have a choice to forget about him or not and he is a bad spirt always following her and creating trouble in her head.
I wanted the character to show elements of Claudia keeping that very sleek perfect look with the slick hair i experimented as shown below with the finger wave wet look inspired by a few images on my Pinterest board for Quentin and the McQueen A/W 2013 mens show. I love this effect on my model and felt it was very effective adding a interesting element into male hair i may possibly add colour to the hair using a spray in white or a pastel yellow to add that grungy vibe to the image.

I created the makeup look inspired by my very first  face chart of the demon like character (without the black contact lenses) i love the feathered effect on the brows and feel this would related to Claudia's hair coming down onto the face, although i would like to add something to break down the character experimenting and combining my pervious idea of line drawing onto the face adding a raw element / something else to make the viewer feel unsettled by the character.
