Description This was a messy photoshoot done after ~thericho used Wine for his Media Propaganda photoshoot.

Model: Wine (yes that's actually his name).


Hmm...details, details...
The heart is real. I'm not sure what animal it belonged to, since me and ~thericho got it off a friend who was going to use it for a project but then changed his mind and let us keep the heart.
The blood is fake. The blood dripping from Wine's eyes came from a tube of fake theatrical blood. The blood all over the heart I made myself using syrup & food colouring (which was exquisitely fun to clean up off the floor!).

There's quite a few more in this series...perhaps I'll post the rest up if I feel like it. Enjoy.

I think this would look great under a black background? Either way, very cool.

I actually didn't want a black background because that would take away the wings. And I wanted a white background for a more sterile, hospital-looking scene.

i love the colors on this one the best.
did you edit out the straps of the wings or are they attached some other way?

Yes I did. I wanted to edit the watch out too but that was too hard.

yeah, but i think the watch works out fine in the end, cause it can be taken symbolically.

misericordia In reply to KissFromARose [2007-11-25 16:08:54 +0000 UTC]

I suppose so. But it was never part of my original concept so I was kinda annoyed that I didn't notice it before I took so many good shots.

Haha well then blame the model. Honestly, I wish Wine didn't have the moustache too...but I couldn't really ask him to shave it off for a photoshoot haha.

hahaha photoshop?
i hope he doesn't read this lol
if he does he might get the hint to whip out the razor , i mean does it even really deserve to be called a mustache,it kinda reminds me of when a 14 kid starts to grow facial hair and tries to look cool.

again though, it's nothing! on you, you're amazingly talented.. to the MAX lol and i still love the photo

Haha he's a cool guy though so I can't really complain. Not many guys would be willing to hold a heart against their chest and let me put makeup on them!

This photo is so beautiful.
I like his wings and the blood on his eyes and face.

Just one things bothers me a little... The watch.
May I aks why did you leave his watch on his hand?
I don't know... Somewoh I never imagined an angle with a watch.

Arrrghhh I know, I hate the watch too! I tried to photoshop it out. I forgot and didn't notice the watch when I started the photoshoot. And then when I realized I freaked out, but we were short on time and I already had a bunch of good shots (and the new ones I took without the watch didn't turn out very good). So yeah. I agree, it's really distracting and I wish I'd noticed it before I started, but we were in a rush since my boyfriend just used the model for his photo idea and we had to be in the city by 3 and by the time they were done with the first shoot it was already almost 1. So yeah.

I'm gonna try to photoshop it out again. Put my skills up to a challenge. O_O

Love this series That blood must've been a nightmare to clean up, though.

It was haha. And it was bad too cos we were already in a hurry to leave (the model needed to meet up with a lady friend in the city haha) so I grabbed a bunch of paper towels to wipe up what I could...then grabbed the mop and mopped as quickly as I could before showering and getting ready then I had to run out and give the model my makeup removers so he could wipe off the makeup. Pretty hectic. And because of the rush we all forgot to put the heart back in the freezer or throw it in the garbage and accidentally left it sitting on the bathroom counter. Ewww. Good thing I sealed the bag it was in so it didn't stink up the whole apartment by the time we got home haha.
And there were still red stains on the floor when we got back from the city so Richard had to clean that up.

Sounds like an experience

I've gotta mop up black nail varnish when I get home, a bottle of it exploded all over the kitchen floor and there's still black streaks and smudges all over it. Luckily it's a really old stone tiled floor that isn't affected by bucketloads of nail varnish remover

Oh god that's awful! I once spilled nailpolish remover on some antique wood chest in my room. My parents were pretty pissed off hehehe.

spiritpaintedsin In reply to misericordia [2007-11-26 16:26:41 +0000 UTC]

If it had been on any wood I'd be long dead Luckily the floor can handle the remover. I just get to mourn my nail varnish, now

I left streaks of purple hair dye on the microwave ages ago (NO idea how ...) and I don't think my mom's noticed that yet

misericordia In reply to spiritpaintedsin [2007-11-26 17:17:46 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha wtf? The microwave? Weird.

Well one of my towels has stains all over it from a hair dye job. And pretty much all my towels have black eyeliner stains teehee.

spiritpaintedsin In reply to misericordia [2007-11-29 12:39:57 +0000 UTC]

I don't know how they got there, I stayed in the bathroom the whole time Very strange.

Yeah, I have hair dyeing t-shirts and towels. They're covered

Well, my mom's nail varnish remover got the worst of it off, but then it ran out so I started using mine, and mine thought it would be fun to take the colour out of the tiles. It's not very noticeable, my mom didn't notice, but I didn't finish, so there's still black smudges everywhere. Ah well
