Description This is from my shoot with V Nixie and Ulorin Vex . They did their own makeup and I designed the crown and bone shoulder piece. I had been wanting to do an all white color theme for quite a long time. And I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to create something like this. With the makeup and styling, we decided to go for a non specific kind of tribal/royal look. But the time period and point of origin are not meant to be interpreted, so please do not draw any assumptions. I see these characters as perhaps a couple, very much on the androgynous side. At least, that's where my imagination took it. And before anybody jumps to aggressive conclusions: the antler pieces for the crown and the jaw bones for the shoulder piece were obtained from sources that did not directly harm the animals. (natural causes of death)

Nicely done Jessica! I really like the feeling you conveyed here! It really has a tribal/royal feel!

I thought that the shoulder piece was a fur stole at first - really clever design. I'm struck also at how soft the antler tips appear because of their curving forms.

Faux fur that she's wearing beneath the jaw bone. And I purchased the antler tips from somebody who I think had polished and softened them down. So they were very easy to work with.

What had tricked me was just the sinuous way in which the jawbone seems to hang!
