Hysteria.Delirium by `PorcelainPoet is an absolutely fascinating image not only because everything is 100% real, but because the concept is craftfully executed. The character created is crazy and confusing, yet somehow deep at the same time. It seems like a visual exaggeration of an extrovert personality.

The suggester writes: "I chose this photo because the contrast is very exact; it looks perfectly symmetrical. Also, I think that the juxtaposition of the color vs. colorless can carry some very nice metaphors. And the title of the piece "Hysteria.Delirium" really pulls the entire thing together."

Description

Model is V Nixie :iconfairyviper:

Concept is a mesh of Neil Gaiman's Sandman characters and the model's own take on them. At the time of the shoot I had never heard of the series or the characters, so this was done completely from the model's description of them. I've still never read the comic series. ;)

Wardrobe provided by Helene Hawthorne

The makeup, the objects on her head, the outfit, the lighting, the colors are all 100% real.

This was a 8-9 hour photo shoot. I attached everything to her head by hand using spirit gum and medical adhesive, and it took forever. I also applied all the eye makeup. She did the rest of the makeup.



Thank you for the DD ^Shalora, ~InsertUsernameHerexx and ~MusicLover0137 :heart:
