Description Standing guard at the edge of the night.
Some say.. that if you see him, don't bother running. It's already too late.




Model - ^arachnid15 - who has gotten so good with makeup that all the effects you see in this picture were done in camera. No manipulation. This and many other never-before-seen pictures are on the redesigned and updated website.



-----------------
Wow, it's been a really damn long time, hasn't it? There's a lot of reasons why I took a break and I'll do a journal soon to catch up with you guys.
I've missed you. I think it may be time to come back.

yup.. you were meant to. When he put the makeup on, I actually couldn't even look at him it creeped me out so terribly. It looked SO real.
I'm glad you dig this, thank you

Katerina423 In reply to well-moistened [2008-04-03 04:50:49 +0000 UTC]

It's... brilliantly simple. That's actually just pure eyeshadow. Different shades of dark eyeshadow applied with a stippling sponge.
It was so disturbing in person (hope it comes through at least a bit on screen) that I couldn't actually look at him.. it just creeped the fuck out!

Beautiful. And those eyes are captivating. It's so odd that as a 'non-smoker', I find myself attracted and drawn to photos like the one you took of someone smoking. My gallery is full of them. LOL I'll be watching you. Your work is wonderful.

Katerina423 In reply to JunkbyJen [2007-09-02 19:30:17 +0000 UTC]

You know... before I started smoking, that is exactly how I felt. I was always drawn to pictures like that. I do blame it on the fact that I, shamefully, always thought it glamorous. I'm so glad that you liked this piece and I'm happy to have you on-board and watching. Thank you so much for all the wonderful support!

hehe this sent a chill down my spine too... took me a while to get used to looking at it. I actually couldn't look at Steven when he had all that makeup on. Something about it just freaked me out. hehe I had to stay away from him until he took it off.

I'm glad that you like this sweetie, and I am so happy to hear from you

Hullo dearie,
There's lots of wonderful stuff to be said about this image, and *Zephyri says it best, I think.

However there is a teeny weeny bit I find distracting, and that is the shine on his nose. It makes it look bulbous, and therefore slightly humorous to me, and distracts from the grim menace you were hoping to achieve.

Only my opinion, and I'm often wrong.

Katerina423 In reply to Yazzphoto [2007-07-15 00:41:06 +0000 UTC]

You? Wrong? only very rarely.. and even then, you always have a good reason
I totally appreciate your thoughts on any and all things, you happen to be one of the few people that I actually try to listen to

Thank you so much, it always means a lot to me when you like something I did

wow...dark eyes, and wonderful make up effect...at first glance I immediately thought his skin was like that from too much smoking...tsk tsk bad night watchman!! I wish I could see him in a grave yard or in the middle of a street somewhere like that...that would be cool too^_^

Huzzah, you return! And what a glorious return it is!

This looks totally sweet. It's almost like he's a beast...or a guy with a serious case of skin cancer. Regardless, if I turned around and saw this guy towering over me but a scant few inches away, I'd probably piss myself. That makeup job is wonderful. And the expression is perfect for a dangerous man, or a hired gun. All business.

"Hello, comrade. Nice night, da? Da. Breathe in this cool air for a moment longer; savor it. Would be a shame for you to go unprepared. Now just relax. It will all be over soon."

that's totally interesting dialog for this guy... i'll be honest, he scares the crap out of me.. took me a long time before i was able to even look at this picture!
