Cinderella Makeup!
I’ve been putting this one off for too long! I was really nervous about doing the carriage. Those swirly wheels… oh my god! I must have done them at least half a dozen times! But I finally did it! Yay! So we’ve got the Fairy Godmother turning the pumpkin into the carriage and on the other side is the castle. I had to draw out that castle a million times trying to get it right! Hopefully it’s recognizable.
Got any suggestions? Let me know in the comments!

I’ve got a GIVEAWAY happening on my facebook page!

I’m having HUGE artist block. I can’t come up with anything! I’m really not happy with this look, but I haven’t posted anything in a while and I figured a few might enjoy it. A few nights ago I tried to do a Wreck it Ralph design and… lets just say it was one of the worst things I’ve ever created. Oh god, so bad! I’m thankful for everyone that’s still sticking with me through this slow, crappy time. Hopefully I’ll be able to create SOMETHING better soon.

I went to go see Warm Bodies the day it came out. I loved it! Thought I’d do a Warm Bodies inspired makeup look. This can also be used for a Valentines look.

I’m sure a lot of you were expecting this… considering how obsessed I am with Lord of the Rings, of course I’m going to do a Hobbit one! 

On the left is the back of Smaug on his pile of gold and jewels. Bilbo too, but he’s invisible! haha! Then on the right is the scene where Bilbo and the dwarves outsmart the trolls. There’s the fire, the 3 trolls and Bilbo dangling in the trolls grasp.

Everyone has been asking me to do a dragon look. I finally did it, but not really what everyone was asking for! Though if you’re looking to use this for something, just simply change the colours to what you need and BAM! Instant dragon look! Well, not exactly instant. 
I didn’t filter this with photoshop or anything. It’s just a different white balance on my camera. I used the same one for my Ice Queen look. Man does it ever change the look! When I first started photographing this, it wasn’t looking very good. Then I changed it to this and it fit the look much better!

A Christmas Carol! 
This is my favourite Christmas story! Actually the Muppets Christmas Carol is the best! But I’ve also read the awesome book! 
On the left is the Cratchit house with Scrooge looking in the window. (Terribly sorry he looks terrifying haha!) Then on the right are the 3 spirits. The future spirit has a tombstone in front. 
Does that look like a window? haha! Let me know in the comments!

‘Twas the night before Christmas! 
Finally another scene! On the left is an indoor scene with a parent telling their kids a story with the fire roaring and presents under the tree! 
On the right is the side of the house, a big white tree, the moon, stars and a little itty bitty santa and his sleigh!
