And now for something COMPLETELY different

[DrakkarTyrannis]

I figured I'd share with some of you..as those who have me on Facebook are probably aware by now.

I decided to do drag on Halloween..professional drag. Seeing as though I have no feminine mannerisms, I have the flexibility of a brick, and I don't have a very girly voice..the task seemed impossible. Why am I doing drag you ask? Because it's a visual art form and I've always loved visual/performance art be it in my band or this new avenue.

Why am I mentioning it now in February? Because it takes a LOT of work. For those unaware..making a man resemble a woman takes a lot of makeup skill, a lot of exercise, a lot of planning etc. You have to learn how to do hair/wigs, learn how to pad your body for a more feminine shape, learn the "points of beauty" on a woman and paint your face according to those in order to make your face into a woman's, you have to learn to have more grace and fluidity with your movements, learn to walk in heels, learn how to tuck ( hiding your junk), learn to APPROPRIATELY lip sync..etc..etc..not as simple as throwing on some chick's dress for a laugh.

I don't think many would care but it'd be cool to see how this look progresses over time. The finalized product won't be revealed until Halloween, however I will post pics/vids of progress. I'm seriously considering doing this professionally, as there is money to be made in it.

Oh..btw..my drag name I owe to a SS.ORG chat convo, Grand Moff Tim especially: Staccia Tori Rape..yes I'm serious.

Anyways..pics are coming. I thought it be something unique to throw on SS.Org for anyone who may be interested now or somewhere down the line.

"Stock" Drakkar:

I gotta say, you look like one mean bad ass mother fucker in the stock photo. In a good way.

Woah..my post just vanished..wtf?

Let's try this again.

The first attempt:

Yeah not cute..BUT it was my first time. After checking my face and seeing what I wanted to change

Second attempt:

A comparison pic for contrast:

Staccia Tori Rape is more of a goth/industrial/metal inspired kinda figure. I researched some drag queens I like and female characters I liked. I decided to use Sindel from Mortal Kombat as a facial template, and the eyebrows are inspired by Jackie Beat. The first couple attempts are more "fish" (drag term for more realistic female) and I wanted an old school drag kind of look..so huge eyebrows are the way to go for that, plus hard contouring on my face.

Most recent attempt:

A dark shot:

It's my first attempt to draw eyebrows instead of using my natural ones. You may notice that the light alters the look a lot. In the dark pic I kinda look like Lil' Kim

Mind you I'm using VERY limited makeup (I actually had to use flour for my foundation since I don't have any yet), and I'm not using brushes or anything. As I get more makeup and tools I'll post pics for contrasting the difference. These pics aren't representative of the "finished" product due Halloween, just showing the progression of my learning.

so apart from offers, what did you get for halloween..???

great makeover dude!!! i had to re-read the thread to see if i had read it correctly at 1st!!!

 

[Jontain]

I'd hit it...


*cough* I mean... * cough* Lol, it really is a stark contrast between the before and after shots man. I have to applaud your effort man, the finsihed result should be quite something.

Fixed

Oh god, I remember you talking about this.

 

[Varcolac]

It's the eyes. The eyes of a heartless killer.

Edit: seriously though, that's a lot of preparation for hallowe'en, and it's frightening how much a little make-up and a shave can change your face. Are you sucking your cheeks in / pouting extravagantly in those photos, or is that all the work of the cosmetics?

 

[Iamasingularity]

Hollllly shit!

The power of makeup and a good old shave!
