Uncle Fester Transformation by Hannabal Marie

 

Hello ladies and gents, Since Halloween is basically tomorrow--

I thought I'd go ahead and transform as one of my many many manyyy favorite characters; Uncle Fester!

The person who I dedicate this to was the person who suggested my transformation; my brother.

For his bday coming up, I thought I'd do it.

I love...DEBBIE!

Also, he told me it would be pretty funny to hug a pack of Little Debbies as Fester! lmfao

I thought out of all the Debbie Snackcakes, Nutty Buddy would fit Fester perfectly! After all, he is a Nutty Buddy! lmfao

That is all. This look probably will be filed under the few of my "cursed images." But after transforming as Eric, I don't think this is any worse than that one! lmfao

🎪My Doodles of October (and so on~!)🎪--Snake Woman, Lobster Boy & MORE!

Hello ladies and gents,
This post is going to be dedicated towards my arts in the month of October
(and pretty much up until now~!)

I am working on a few more concepts, some that haven't even been outlined yet
but this post is solely for the ones I've finished (or close to)!

⭐The Progress⭐

I always like to make sure I snap a few images of my work in progress. It always amazes me to see how it can go from this simple outline to something entirely different.

Day one: Ring

Day 2: Mindless. Just a little Jack o' Lantern inspired piece~

As I was doing those daily prompts, I was also doodling for Cult Fragrance.
We ended up doing a Carnival perfume theme for Halloween~

My weapons of mass creation~

For prompt Day 14, I decided to sketch out my puppy. I think, if memory serves me right, the word was "Fantasy"

So, I made my pup into a Princess~ Like those old fashioned fantasy tales~

⭐THE ARTS⭐

I want to add that the majority of these were meant to be "quick draws" from a prompt I started in October. They listed for 31 days a word that had to be drawn on each and every day~ 

For instance, day 4 was the prompt "Bait" where we had to draw what instantly came to mind, with little to no thought backing behind it. Hence "Quick draw!" 

Some are amazing, some are "eh"...most are lacking a bit of detail. Like the hands. I hate some of my character's hands. But I couldn't spend too much time trying to "perfect" them since I'd have to do all of it, all over again, the next day. Also, if I was going to spend any amount of time on any one thing, it would be the color. For me, that is the most important. I couldn't care less about hands, in truth.

You catch my drift? lol Chaotic but so much fun~ 

Anywho, here are some of my artworks~!

🎃 Happy Halloween 2019 🎃

 Hello ladies and gents, 

Today I am finally getting my Halloween post...posted. lmfao
I could give you an assorted variety of reasons why I've been late to post this but truly,

it will not do anything but cause me to waste more of your precious time reading this darn thing. lmfao I think the best coarse of action would be to simply give you what you've come to see--Halloween tricks and treats~!

Google had a cute little banner for Halloween, too~

~SAMHAIN ON SOCIAL MEDIA~
On the day of Halloween, I took to the internet. I know that some people have a bittersweet relationship with social media (and the internet, in general) but I really do love it!! I love how it can connect like-minded people together from all over the globe. I also happen to love to see what other people do on such a glorious holiday such as this. From Google Search Engines to Facebook friend posts~ I love it all! Here are some of the highlights from the internet (as well as some stuff I did in the month of October, too!) If you don't follow me on any of my social networks then this will be new to you but if you do--let's rekindle that old Halloween feeling together~

Here is a screenshot of our local newspaper's Instagram! I made front cover...err...front post? lol

☻JUNJI ITO'S BLACKBIRD by Hannabal Marie☻

Hello ladies and gents, 

Another inspired Junji Ito look--Blackbird. 

One of my personal favorite characters. 

So, I wanted to make sure I did her justice. 

Blackbird was one of the first stories I ever read from Junji Ito.

Someone made an insult about how I resembled the character when I smiled--so, being the curious cat I was, I looked into it. 

Despite the insult, I took it more as a flattering compliment.

I became obsessed with her. 

The way she looked and how she was so creepy without needing

anything other than her wide smile. 

I have wanted to attempt a look based on her but never got around to doing so. 

With so many positive comments on the others I've done, I thought I'd bring Blackbird to life now.

Enough chatting--

allow me to show you what I've done.

🌿My Secret Little Garden🌿[Not so secret...anymore. lol]🌿

Mother Mary and some Pinecones.

Hello ladies and gents, 

Today I want to post about something I hold near and dear to my heart. 

Other than doing makeup, fashion, crafts and the like--

I also like to garden and take care of my green babies. 

It should come as no sudden surprise, considering I am into the occult and witchcraft. 

It's just common knowledge that a witch will have her own sacred garden space. lol

Mine is nothing extreme, though I do want to own a HUGE garden with all the extras one day. 

(Mostly a large garden like in the Secret Garden movie that contains flowers, herbs, vegetation, edible plants and all of those lovely stuff!)

I also want to own a few carnivorous plants, too. 

Nothing that will kill/consume me (like the dreadful Yateveo "I See You" Tree! lol) but ones that will help my garden/harvest grow--like traps of all kinds to help against predatory bugs and/or ones that will just help to repel harmful predators from entering my space--like mosquitoes or wasps! 

I've always been huge on greenery of all kinds--the gentle giants and the meat eaters.

Don't get me wrong, I also love my bugs but I do respect the circle of life. 

The bugs eating the harmless plants is no different than the plants eating the harmless bugs, etc. 

They need each other much like we need them. 

Of course, I wouldn't put them together JUST to watch their dismay, I will probably put the carnivorous ones in a separate area--just to be fair. Let the plants attract their prey in a very fair way without my taunting or pushing. Visa versa. 

But we are nowhere near that just yet, 

just harmless daydreaming of what could one day become my reality.

Anywho, I am going to show you what I have and what I am currently taking care of. 

This is just my hobby, I am no professional but that is the song and dance of all professionals, right?
We all, at some point in our green thumbing lives, had to be a novice. <3 

So, this is my beginning of all beginnings~

❤️My August Birthday Shenanigans. [Childhood Thrift Store, Lion King Movie + Makeup Looks]❤️

Hello ladies and gents

For my birthday this year, it was more about rekindling old feelings 

and remembering my past than anything else.
Spending the time with my family and spoiling them, like they've been doing for me each and every year.

We visited some thrift stores. (surprise, surprise! lol) Watched the new release of The Lion King. (A childhood classic for me!) And ended the day with some Chinese food and an Ice Cream Bar. (The Chinese food was from a place we used to always get when I was a kid, too. Told ya it was going to be an all around "rekindling" fest! lol)

We actually went to see the movie a few days earlier, since my birthday fell on August 1st and the release date for the film was July 19th but we ended up watching it on the 29th! (The tickets sold pretty quick, apparently!) This was a surprise from my family, so I had absolutely no idea we were going to see this. I'm so happy I did, it was AMAZING!

💮EASTER 2019 (Makeup, Crafts & Shenanigans!)💮 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents,
Sorry for the delay in posts but life has kept me way too busy.
I couldn't get to my laptop to post like I should have been but I am here now--
and that is all that counts. It doesn't matter when I post, as long as I post. Right?
At least, that's what I think matters.

Easter was a very simple little holiday that came and went.
Nothing too extreme but we did keep to certain traditions--
like egg dying, the candy baskets, makeup and stuff like that.

I know I'm an adult but I don't care--holidays are still something of major importance to me.
So, we always make sure to celebrate in whatever ways possible. Age has NOTHING to do with having a good time and creating happiness.

Making "straws" for my basket weaving. 

Before the "big day" I spent a few days crafting some stuff for future easter looks.
Nothing really in mind but I really wanted to do a sort of "easter bunny" but in my kind of way.
My kind of "spooky fashionable" way. lol

🐌SLUG GIRL--Junji Ito Inspired Makeup Look 🐌 | Hannabal Marie

*LICKITY LICKITY LICK LICK*

Hello ladies and gents

Since my "Eyeball Girl" from Junji Ito was such a huge hit with people
⬇️Junji Ito himself even retweeted it on his personal Twitter!⬇️

I thought I'd do another character from the Manga.
Quite honestly, I think I will continue doing a few more Junji Ito inspired looks until..
well..I can't think of anything else to do. lol

But anyways, I thought I'd do another personal favorite of mine--

👄A DeCeMBeR To DiSmEmBeR (PT2) [Holidays Looks of 2018]👄 | Hannabal Marie

Our Holidays Looks!

Hello ladies and gentlefish

I am bringing you a recap of Christmas 2018--

all the looks we (Me and Ghost Lee) created for the holidays. 

It has become something like a tradition to always add to the collection from the years before--

2017 was the year that started this tradition--though we've been doing "looks" our whole life.
Mostly for Halloween and other darkly-aesthetic holidays...

but 2017 was the year we decided to do Christmas related things because, well, who said Xmas had to always be PG13? lol 

A few of my personal favorites from then was the Yule Log cookie look I did, with the help of my brother who designed and created me the unique Cake wig! But so many from 2017 that really kick-started us into this odd holiday direction. 

These were the looks from 2017!
Left to Right--The Ghost of Christmas Past, Mr. Scrooge, Female Krampus, Baby It's Cold Outside, Yule Log, Dolls Kill, Oh--Deer, Gryla & La Befana! 

A lot of amazing looks--some I am very proud of and will probably be proud of for years to come.
But last year--we added to this collection and created 9 more.
The collection shall continue to grow until we both are basically dead. lol
*or until we run out of ideas! lol

🎃 Halloween 2018--Dirty Devil Dancing, KitKat Pumpkin & Trick-or-Treaters! 🎃 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I am bringing you a post full of the crazy antics 

and silly events that took place this Halloween.
We didn't really have anything planned. 

Mostly wanted to have a calm, relaxing Halloween

to make up for all the chaos and running around we have done the months prior.

So, we stayed home, gave out candy and had a blast. 

and to make matters even better--

AHS was on that night, so we had something to watch as the night came to an end.

So, enough with the chit-chat--I am just going to show you what happened.

I gave all my babies a bath the day before, so they would be ready for the big day. 

😸 Thrift HAUL-O-Ween--Joe Spencer Pumpkin Dolls, Animated Figures & MORE! 😸 | Hannabal Marie

Me & my family preparing for the awesome haul I am bringing you guys today. lol

Hello ladies and gents

As I mentioned--I got a lot of stuff to showcase.
This is the second part of that first Halloween Thrift Haul.

I will not repeat myself for the sake of not taking up anymore of your time, 

but everything has been obtained throughout the month of September and a bit into October.

So, I have been waiting (and quite patiently) to showcase everything to you now.

I found some very interesting items today--

Two Joe Spencer Pumpkin Dolls, An animated witch prop and so much more. 

But as if protocol until the end of this month, 

I wanted to showcase some of the interior of my local Thrift Store.

Like I said, they are ever-changing the entrance sign. I love it!! 

Thrift Haul: Tom Waits Postcards, Antique Music Dolls & A Vtg Wedding Gown // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I come bringing another lovely haul for you guys and gals.

This post will showcase some amazing finds, such as:
A vintage wedding dress, Tom Waits postcards, Antique music dolls and fitted T's. 

Enough with pointless blabber.
I will just jump right into the showing. 

Thrift Haul: Mannequin, Vtg Accordion & Angels // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

Another lovely little haul for you guys today.
I am sorry for not frequently posting like I used to.
I can sit here and give excuses but I wont. haha

I just will say that I have been collecting
and putting things aside to create lovely posts for you all to see. 

For all those new who are just stumbling on this post--I want to introduce myself:
The name is Hannabal Marie and I'm a hoarder. lol jkjk

Actually, I like to thrift shop to such a degree that the thrill of "finding a good find" is so addicting to me that I have started posting my wares for the public eye because a few of my close friends and relatives are just as addicted to thrifting as I am 

and requested I do this as a huge haul--so, here I am obliging their command. hahaa

I get asked this all the time;
"What do you look for in items?"
And I can't properly give an explanation other than I like what most people hate.

I like finding the odd and unusual as well as the tacky and quite hideous.
(as someone pointed out to me once before! hahaa)

Anything really that would make a great photoshoot or go with any of my many collections;

Clown, vintage items, odd items and other. lol

I also own a record player, so old music is always great to collect, as well. lol

But enough chit-chat--you didn't come here to make conversation.
You came to gawk and gawk you shall. <3

I have so many great things today--from clothing to a lot of vintage items.
I hope you enjoy.
So please, grab yourself a hot cup of coffee or tea 

and scroll through some of the junk I call treasures~

Uzumaki's Azami Cosplay (Junji Ito "Spiral") // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

March 31st was our annual Grape City Con

and we were called last minute to attend. 

So, me and my brother had to pull something outta our arse 

and create something in the span of a full week.
So, since we just finished reading the Manga "Uzumaki", 

I thought that doing characters from it would only suffice. lol

I decided to tackle Azami, one of my personal favorites 

while my brother took on Sekino from the "Medusa" chapter.

I will update with photos of the actual con and of my brother's cosplay 

As well as an additional post all about preparation and the process of getting from one point to the next...

but for now, I am just posting my makeup look as a separate post all it's own. 

I handmade all the little bits, except for my clothing. I thrifted the clothes. lol

I also busted out my corset and tightened myself up! 

I really love the spiral pattern on this dress.
It was a dress that I used as a top. lol

The eyeball eye-patch was my favorite thing in the entire world to create.
The best part of this is that I can keep it forever and use it all over again. 

That is all. 

I hope I did Junji Ito justice. 

I am in love with my look. So very much in love.
I tossed on contacts last minute while I was out and about.
They started to hurt after a while, so I had to take them out but I got a few pictures with them in--so I'm happy. lol
