Interesting look for Maleficent.  Rather cute.  She has a really nice large nose.

Haha yeah That's the biggest reason why I wanted to do this painting -- the girl who asked to be painted like Maleficent has a cute face with wide eyes, it looks pretty interesting with the dark nature of the character.

Oh, so this is actually a commission for someone?

Yeah, she is very cute and that is a very different hair style for Maleficent too.   Came out great!

Thanks! Yeah I agree, she was lovely to paint. The division of light and dark in the photo was really nice as well, worked perfectly with the idea

I had noticed that it is overall on the dark side, but perhaps that could be because of the upload?

BTW, do you want to see whom I turned into Maleficent?

That's my wife.  I put together that costume for her for Halloween.  Go head, take a look on my main page, there are many more shots of her as well as explanations of what I did in reference to her costume.

Enjoy!

RavenDiablo In reply to chuckles-the-cat [2014-11-18 00:20:02 +0000 UTC]

Thank You.  Yes, she did came out great!  It was close to two months of work.   Even though most items were bought and pieced together I did make the harness for the horns and the staff myself.   Her hair style is my idea as well.   She did the makeup.   She also has the pointed ears too.   The only place we ran into trouble was the contact lenses.  As it turns out my wife already wears contacts, but she has astigmatism correction.   This would make costume lenses very expensive.   So I just opted to work with naturally very dark brown eyes.   I have a couple of shots of her (when she does her menacing look) where those dark eyes just go right through you.

Glad you enjoyed the pix!

RavenDiablo In reply to chuckles-the-cat [2014-11-18 04:38:00 +0000 UTC]

Yes it was.  On top of that I had my other project for Halloween, The Creep Machine.   I have that up on my main page too.  Oh! and Thank You for the kind words.

Tonight I created something for all Maleficent and Diaval fans-

There's No Place I'd Rather Be:

Yes, I did it in lieu of the Clean Bandit song, Rather Be.   As I was listening to the song today, the idea popped in my head to create a Maleval collage.

I haven't actually seen the movie, so it holds little significance for me unfortunately ^__^ Love that song though

RavenDiablo In reply to chuckles-the-cat [2014-11-18 04:57:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh, Ok.  My bad, I thought you saw the film...especially now since the DVD is out.  I do recommend seeing it.  While it isn't a fully accurate representation of the classic Sleeping Beauty and there are plot twist that purists of Sleeping Beauty would object to, it is still worth seeing.  I am not a big fan of Angelina Jolie, but yet she delivered a stunning performance portraying Maleficent.   So much so, that I fell in love with the character....something that rarely happens to me.

Yeah, that song is cool.  I heard it on the radio one day and it caught my attention.  A few days later they played it again and I had my significant other use her smart phone's song sniffer on it and I got all the info.   The radio is playing the song regularly now and I heard it this afternoon coming home from work and while I was going to resume work on my fanfic, I decided to create that photo edit first.

Well, at least you got the song out of it.

I LOVE Angelina Jolie, seems like she would be perfect for this role. Definitely going to see the movie, just haven't gotten around to it

She is a favorite actress among many.   I just wasn't too fond of the movies she was in.   Even though I think she is pretty, I am not overly attracted to her.   But she won me over with Maleficent.  It is a case where I love the character more than the actress herself.    That is a feat to be able to do that.   This is certainly her moment of greatness and more then likely the movie she will be most identified with.

Here is a deleted clip I found last night:

I don't know why they didn't leave this in the movie.   Her delivery of the scene is awesome.  LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.

Yes, by all means, DO see the movie.

Yeah, some of her movies have been just okay, I really liked her in Wanted and Mr. and Mrs. Smith Definitely gonna see the movie now that it's out on dvd!

RavenDiablo In reply to chuckles-the-cat [2014-11-19 05:30:22 +0000 UTC]

I didn't see Mr. & Mrs. Smith yet, but I heard that supposedly was her 'signature' film up until Maleficent.   I did see the Lara Croft movies and they were just...meh.  It was forgettable stuff. 

I would say the ones I liked with her were Gia, the first time I saw her and Girl Interrupted.   But again, these were not movies I would actually buy.   But she just knocked it out of the ballpark this time with Maleficent.  I love the accent she does and she just looks phenomenal.   I consider Jolie at her 'prettiest' in this film.   I think it is the facial makeup and the horns of course.  But I just find her extremely attractive as Maleficent.   But take all that off and I just think she is just good looking, but I don't go nuts over her.

THIS is who I go nuts over:

I'd like to know what she looks like with a set of horns on her head.  Heh Heh.

But yeah, if you are unsure about buying the movie, just rent it first.  Are you here in the US?  If so you can rent from Red-Box.

Yeah, if you wanna see a really good performance from her (I hear the tomb raider movies weren't all that great), see Wanted or Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Oh man, I LOVE Girl Interrupted! That movie was incredible, very captivating. Great performance by Winona Ryder as well

RavenDiablo In reply to chuckles-the-cat [2014-11-20 03:28:35 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you are correct the Lara Croft movies weren't that good.   I have to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith.  I have not got around to it though.

Yes, I am a huge Winona Ryder fan.  I love just about everything she is in.

Here is a cool shot of her with Sigourney Weaver from Alien Resurrection:

But this is my favorite shot of Winona:

Thank you! Do you think it's too dark,  or just dark enough? Still wondering about that even though it's done
