Ultron Makeup and my birthday!
So, I forgot to post it here, but yeah I made an Ultron video.

This Ultron is the very first version of Ultron, and he's a little rough around the edges - both in the movie and in the facepaint.

First go of greasepaint.

I got my flash pallette dupe in the mail that morning. The look was in celebration of the Avengers releasing in cinemas two days after that look. At that point I didn't know why Ultron looked that way, and assumed he was broken ultron - which in a way he was.

Don't worry you guys in America, I won't spoil the movie for you.

But yeah, he wasn't broken in the way I thought he was.

Now why am I saying this face-paint was different? It's just another face-paint, why does saying it was grease-paint make up for your inadequacy?

Well it doesn't really. But grease-paint is not the same as water-based paint. Why? Grease-paint does not set. And if it does set, it sets in such a long time that you can't possibly wait for it to set.

Is that a bad thing? Yes and no.

No, it's not a bad thing because having it not sets allows for real easy blending and mixing of colours. You also don't have to run to a tap or a spray bottle every two minutes to reactivate it because it's dried out.

But it is a bad thing if you want it to last and not smudge. Or to shade with eye-shadows, or layer on top of the paint. 

So basically what I'm saying is, I'm currently used to water-based paint and that's why I find the grease paint more difficult to work with. It's not necessarily bad, I'm just not-pro enough for it.

Now on to another subject... it's my birthday! Yay! And I half-celebrated it yesterday by seeing age of Ultron and buying the most amount of cinema food I've ever bought.

Not to shove it in your faces if it's not yet released in your country but damn that movie is beautiful. And once it's been out long enough I may have a couple little rant/spoiler-talks about it. 

It was basically the most beautiful way to pre-celebrate my birthday there was. You will not be disappointed when you see it. Just make sure not to look too close at anything online about the movie to not have twists spoiled for you. Let's just say if you know anything about the vision or what he looks like you know too much and have a twist spoiled for you. There was a reason marvel was trying to hide the character.

I feel like I just spoiled it for you... sorry.

Anyway today is kind-of less birthday ish then yesterday weirdly, but I can now drink legally if I had the money to buy alcohol... yay?

See you lovelies later and hopefully I will learn to use less ellipses in my blog posts with my new found adult-hood.

PVA Glue as Liquid Latex?
Can you use this cheap alternate to save your wallet and achieve the same look?

My thoughts, no.

Why I thought it was an option in the first place;

There are plenty of tutorials for a real quick wound/zombie using tissue paper and PVA glue. Pretty much everyone would have these items to hand. Latex on the other hand is pretty expensive, and most people generally wouldn't have it laying around unless they are a SFX artist or a mad keen cosplayer.

I've also had PVA glue on my skin before to no problems, and with a proud non-toxic boldly stated on the front of the bottle, I attempted a Shireen from Game of Thrones.

It didn't work.

Basically, I started putting the tissue and PVA glue over one side of my face. At first it was fine, I was happy. Then my eye starting to sting a little and I was like "it's just the glue fumes, lets turn a fan on", and I continued on.

Then my face started to feel a bit hot and I was like, eh, maybe it'll pass. Let's keep going.

I did this until I was finished covering my face and then started to let it dry. As PVA glue dries it becomes clear, and as it became clear, I saw how red my skin was under it. How red, this red.

Okay so ignore how blotchy and red my face is, and the weird bandaid thing I got going on on my eyebrow on the left picture (I was covering it cause I want to keep my eyebrows okay?). You can see here how red my face got from the PVA glue after I took it off. Right picture, left side of my face if you can't tell the difference between nearly ripe and totally ripe tomato skin tones.

It's now been 24 hours and I can say it left no lasting damage. So that's a plus.

But obviously, this reaction scared me a little. I'd never reacted this way to PVA glue before and I was half-terrified that one half of my face would start peeling like a massive sunburn.

So when I woke up in the morning with a normal face, I was like... was it some weird reaction to my moisturizer? Tried it this morning again - this on a small area on my face - and the same result. Turned red, stayed red after removal for a little while.

And I was like damn, now I might actually have to buy latex... but what if the same happens with latex. Poor wallet, how will you survive.

But I was not satisfied with the belief that torturing my wallet was inevitable. So I tried PVA glue on my knuckles, and inside of my arm - where there was no hair - to test if I'd suddenly developed a PVA glue allergy.

And no problems occured.

I even made a wound with it on the inside of my arm.

And below is the same wound with some shininess via lip gloss

And what the glue looks like when you rip it off, nastiness.

Btw if you ever use PVA glue for a wound on your body, don't rip it off. PVA glue gets real soft when wet, so just soak it and wipe it off and you wont have to forcibly mega exfoliate the area under your wound. Basically it hurts like a band-aid, not enough to make a big deal of but enough that you may want to avoid it,

Anyway, so what did I conclude with the experiment for SCIENCE?! That I have no glue why my face is being a bitch... and will continue to test my face frequently to see if it will react the same way.

So stand by for weekly PVA glue updates. That sounds exciting right? Right... yeah, you can skip those.

Anyway, so I still want to make a Shireen Tutorial for you guys, but now it'll probably be a face-paint only tutorial and contain no dimension or realism. Why don't I go out and buy liquid latex now? Cause I live in Australia and anything cool is either; not available, or 600 times more expensive than buying online.

I may order some latex but don't expect it for like 2 months because Australia is so far away from everything that'll it'll take years to reach us.

Sorry for the bulk word post, but eh.

Oh, and lastly, PVA glue does not set without air. So if you cover any glue you've poured out of the bottle - like in an old ice cube tray - so it's air tight - like with sticky tape - it'll stay usable. Intense dash use...

Okay bye, before I type even more...

Five Night's At Freddy's Movie:

Firstly, do I want this to happen - yes. Just a disclaimer.

I love FNAF as a huge amount of people do. The fan-base is probably much larger than the ones I'm going to talk about, and generally a larger fan-base get more what they want.

Smaller fan-bases get pushed around.

Let's think about two examples; the Mortal Instruments and The Wheel of Time. Note, both of these are books to visual media not games to film so there will be a difference. Actually screw it lets go for four, it's a nice round number. The next two examples will be; Assassin's Creed and Bioshock.

So all these four examples had their film (TV in the case of The Wheel of Time) rights sold. Everyone got really happy in the fan-base, if skeptical, because almost always a fan will be excited about the fictional place they'd lived in expanding.

Many of these four even had directors attached to them, budgets even, rating arguments. And yet, here we are how ever many years later, either brutally disappointed with the result or the lack of result.

The Mortal Instruments... well, I could go on for a while but the outrage has dissipated as well as my recollection of the books. A quick Google will tell how sad this movie made than fan-base, almost as enraged as the Percy Jackson fans. They completely got the villain, Valentine, wrong, changing him from a cold, calm, collected psychopath into a raging lunatic... I'll stop now I promise.

Picture from http://www.slashfilm.com/mortal-instruments-tv-series-mcg/, where you can also read about the TV series

The point is getting that film doesn't always result in happiness. On a side note this is gettinga TV series reboot, so maybe they'll be more truthful to the books now.

Now for those that didn't get that yet; Bioshock and Assassin's Creed.

These are by no means unpopular games.

Assassin's Creed... yes it was dwarfed by its sequel's popularity, but the movie proposed is centered on the original man under the white hood, Altair. This movie has been proposed for years, and recently got it's supposed release date pushed back to December 2016...

From https://filmgamesetc.com/2015/02/assassins-creed-movie-in-production/ where you can read and try to be convinced by another solid assurance it's going to happen. You've broken my heart too many times already for me to believe you.

However some more articles have cropped up promising it's in the works so maybe it'll finally happen? But with Ubisoft releasing Assassin's Creeds games so often, we aren't starved for material to fan over.

Bioshock - the first one since Kevin Levine basically made Bioshock 2 void with Bioshock Infinite Burial at Sea, has been after a movie for years too.

I know Big Daddy, we're so sad about the movie not happening we'd drop down and die too. 

But with many problems and arguments occuring. such as an R-rating being so unpopular and a restricted budget, they movie plans imploded. And now that Irrational Games has closed down, Bioshock fans have to be content replaying the two canon games and DLC (and possibly committing sacrilege and playing Bioshock 2).

Both of these are games with large fan-bases but still couldn't get their movie despite initial interest.

And lastly, The Wheel of Time.

There's magic in this series, image from http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/File:Bowl_of_the_Winds.jpg can't find orginal artist (cant be bothered) but it's very pretty... anyway

The Wheel of Time would have the smallest fanbase of the fandoms mentioned so far, and probably the largest amount of material. Well, maybe Assassin's Creed and it are close. Looking at pages on their respective wikis, Assassin's Creed has 5,634 while Wheel of Time has 5,796 . So you can see how much material is in this series of books.

How long is the series you ask? 14 in the series no including prequels. And their not Deltora Quest sized books, They range from about 700 to 1300 pages long each. And I read them all... yes, it did become a bit of a grind.

Anyway the rights for this were purchased years ago, and recently almost expired. If you own the rights to something, if you sit on your hands for two long they expire and go back to their original owner and you have nothing to show for the money you spent.

So to make sure the rights didn't expire, a shitty TV pilot was made. And everyone was angry, and they got to keep the rights. Lose for the fans.

Now, what does this all have to do with FNAF? Basically, hope, pray, but don't hold your breath because while this movie may seem set in stone now, at may either never come to pass or be disappointing.

I'm sorry for the downer guys. Remember this too - Deadpool is getting his movie after so long and with such sadness. So there is hope.

Toy Chica Youtube Clip is now up!

Yeah, I keep spelling Chica wrong... I'm sorry.

Either way my quick clip is up on how I did my face. I haven't really gotten the hang of editing yet, so sorry about the speed and jumpiness. You may need to pause it to read sometimes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj4g4PPXPd8

As my little digital camera looks pretty blurry on youtube I might try a different way of recording the next look I do.

I do intend to do more, I have a few note pad pages full of ideas, but uni is starting up again so I might not have heaps of time.

Thanks for watching and reading peeps.

Beak-less Toy Chicka

So chickens are kind of Easter-y, and I know Easter is over but there's still eggs in super-markets therefore I can still justify this as an Easter thing... maybe?

Anyway while I do see a lot of Chicka's out there, there doesn't seem to be many of toy Chicka without her beak. While the animatronics are pretty damn creepy without any alterations (e.g. toy bonnie), Chicka beakless and eyeless is pretty damn creepy.

So without further a do...

Yeah, my hair and neck  kinda ruin it but I was too lazy to make a head piece and don't actually own a wig cap :(

Note to people who do this look - pat matte shadow on your lips to remove weird shininess in the supposed emptiness of her mouth.

I am planning on making a youtube tutorial... even though my camera battery died half-way through filming. Oh well, it'll just be a bunch of word instructions.

See you all later, and yes, it'll probably be something to do with Five Night's a Freddy's.

Here's a chocolate bonnie with eyes open if you want.

It makes it a little more creepy but removes itself from the source material... which is already so removed that only a tiny thread keeps it detached. Let's just say everyone thought it was Freddy if they had any clue who I was.

Also I was messing around with lightworks and made a quick video, check out what a zombie bite from a glowing radioactive zombie might look like!

Firstly, watch this: It'll take six seconds of your life but trust me.

So as a lover of Markiplier and FNaF, I of course thought this was amazing. And I used it as inspiration for a facepaint. While this didn't really go according to the sketch, it wasn't the worst thing ever. First paint with Mehron face-paints too.

This was a 10:30 pm rush job. I would've taken some photos for a photo-tutorial but honestly it wasn't that good and my camera battery was flat. That was the universes sign that it wasn't to be.

Hello and welcome.

I am a face-paint and crazy makeup fan, and obsessed with Five Night's at Freddy's, Markiplier, and probably too much more to list right now. I'm pretty sure I can't remember everything I'm obsessed with and the list grows daily.

So follow this to see my craziness and rants.
