Adoring FanGIRL & Lucien Lachance | Oblivion Themed Makeup Looks

Hello ladies and gents

Today I am bringing you my two favorite looks of 2020.
For Valentines Day, I didn't really do much other than play around with some makeup.
This is what became of that~

ADORING FAN(GIRL)

Oh, Hello Champion! So great to have you stumble on my page~ Is there something you need?

🌹Anita Blake Cosplay--Progression Shots, Finished Look & Little Chit Chat | Hannabal Marie🌹

Image Source: Major Spoilers 

Hello ladies and gents

As I have promised, I am bringing you the last post to end Grape City Con. 

The making of and progression of Anita Blake. 

As well as anything and everything else I forgot to mention from the previous post I already have done which included (but not limited to) the actual convention. 

Read about our time at Grape City Con

As I already stated, this was a spur of the moment sort of deal.

Consisting of what we, me and Ghost Lee, had already on hand. It took about 2 days to finish this look. Alongside many pots of coffee and music blaring so loud in my earphones that I had to stop a few times to jam out to an air guitar. lol

Anita Blake is one of those characters that I have had on a bucket-list for such a long time. 

Scared to just "do it" due to fear of messing her up and not doing her justice.

It's been years, lemme just tell ya...YEARS since I've wanted to cosplay this girl but I decided this time was good enough for me. 

A quick sketch of the costume and all the minor details. lol

I also thought this would be great seeing how Marvel bought the rights to her and are creating comic books about the very novels I have fallen in love with. So, I spent a few days rereading the comics and getting into character. I really wanted to mastered her attitude but it wasn't that hard, considering that Anita and myself have very similar attitudes and personalities. 

She is a badass who doesn't need no man--yet, she somehow still gets them crawling to her. (no pun intended. lol) She also loves coffee, penguins and having the type of humor I love in female characters--very sassy and dark. 

All of this was just more of a reason to do this character. 

Also, I thrifted a very beautiful long sleeve shirt that reminded me of her. 

So, it was written in the stars for me to cosplay her. hahaa

🔥"Jack Straw" Inspired By The Ancient Effigies of Hungary🔥 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

To end the "New Years" in style, I decided to do a sort of  "educated" makeup look.
Something that was much more than slapping on some makeup and calling it a day.

I wanted to do something that would inform people just as well as educate them, too.
So, I give you--JACK STRAW!

"Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon
Burns my eyes to see.
Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon
Might as well be me...

So, Jack Straw from Wichita
Cut his buddy down
 Dug for him a shallow grave
And layed his body down."

In Hungary, they celebrate the New Year by burning effigies or "scapegoats" known as Jack Straws.
They are supposed to represent the evils and misfortunes of the past year bundled up in a "human" body. Before they burn them, however, they parade our the town holding them up and showing them to the townspeople.

If you google search "Jack Straw" not a lot is up about them.
I had to dig a little deep into old texts and documents to find out just this much about them but it is there, you just need the right word usage. Otherwise, you'll end up looking up something else--like the vintage game of Jack Straws.

Upon stumbling on this bit of information and the overall significance these effigies held with some people in Hungary, it really made me fall in love with the custom as a whole.

I am a HUGE lover of the classic Scarecrow!
So this really tug at my existing love of the similar humanoid thing.

And since I am a artist by own personal right--I felt compelled to try my hand at a look inspired by this old custom. I really hope I did the Hungarian people justice for such a beautiful tradition!

I really felt like it was best I recreated this, not only to inform those who didn't know but also perhaps shine a little light on this custom for myself. Partake in the burning of my 'older self' and rid myself of my own evils and misfortunes of my own past years. Thus by recreating this look, I am--in some way or another--becoming my own effigy! 

👀 The Creation of My Momo 👀 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents
As promised, here is a WIP (Work in progress) post to showcase some of the highlighted moments I took in the overall construction of my Momo cosplay.

This was probably the more simpler cosplay I have ever done, but still took a great portion of my time and effort to construct.

The main focal point being the mask.
I have never actually created a "mask" before, so this was new territory for me.
I was also doing something new with latex to construct a thicker material.
By mixing flour with latex, I created a sort of "Slop" that I molded into a mask.
It took some time and a lot of hands-on work to finish, but the overall look came out perfect.

There was a lot of hits and misses but I now know what to do and what not to do.
The thrill of trial and error. lol

🎮 The Library Con 2018 🎮 | Hannabal Marie

Some of the stuff we got from the event.

Hello ladies and gents

September 23rd was the Library Con here where we live.
But quite frankly, it was a bit of an awkward day.

I have a bit of a story to share here, 

So I do hope you got some snacks for this very long read. hahaa

Grape City Con 2018 // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

March 31st was the annual Grape City Con

and as such, we attended with bells and whistles on. lol

We only had a weeks notice and tossed something together with what we had laying around.

So, since me and my brother both finished Spiral, The manga from Junji Ito--

we thought we'd both go as characters from it. 

I have already posted my makeup look in full detail on this blog, 

so if you haven't seen that post...you can click HERE to check it out in better detail. 

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

Marilyn Monroe + Marilyn MonROT by Hannabal Marie!

Hello ladies and gents

I am sure you are all well aware of the Marilyn's I did for Halloween. 

But I wanted to post a separate post about them since they are still a makeup look all of it's own. 

 I wanted to do my take on Monroe for such a long time and I spoke with my brother about it and he agreed that he'd help me create a wig if I did. So yep. That is how she came about. 

I would like to take this time to mention that my brother is such an amazing wig artist and is only getting better as time progresses. He custom made this wig for me with barely any tools and it came out amazing! 

So please, go check him and his work out: 

DETRA DOMAIN FAN PAGE

 anywho, moving on...

 Since I was already in character, I thought I'd kill Monroe. 

So, Zombie Monrot came to mind.

 and as is custom with me, when I feel the best, I MUST snap a few other photos in hopes to capture the character a bit more. So here is a few more of MonROT:

 I dunno but I just felt like doing these shots. I really like the artsy idea behind 'em!

Thought I'd give my tights a reason to be worn!

and lastly, this bunch. 

I liked how the camrea capture all the many faces in a shaky sort of way.
really captures the emotion.

KISS ME, MR PRESIDENT!

Hannya Mask (a progression) by Hannabal Marie!

Hello ladies and gents

I created a Hannya Mask for my Zombie Walk 2014 costume look but I never used it. 

Too much was too much and I didn't use it. 

BUT I thought, since I started making it, why shouldn't I finish it?

So here is a sort of "progression post" of the mask. I still have a ways away to go with completion but here is what I have so far.

 

I still have to contour and all that to bring out the details. But this is what I have. All the facial details were done by me...this was on top of a plain plastic mask that I had laying around. It's a flat surface...so you can tell that I had to bring "life' to the face with building on top of it. 

I don't know when I'll have it completely finished but I will try my best too get it done, along with another makeup look to go with it as well. So stay tuned!

Cicero, The Fool Of Hearts by Hannabal Marie!

 

READER!  

Hello, Hello...Please come in, sweet reader, Come right in.
It's so nice of you to drop by and pop a peek at my post. It's been so silent without a friendly face around, the silence was almost....maddening. *laughs* but that was then, this is now...mother told me not to worry, she did, and she was right. Not that she ever talks to poor Cicero...no...no...She can't talk..she's quite dead! *laughs* It's just that I could sense her presence around me, letting sweet me know that everything will be fine. Cicero always worries himself to death, you see, it's quite a problem with strangers. I tend to assert myself a bit too much and it makes dealing with people so hhhard. At one moment I'm giving someone a friendly hug and then POP...there goes their head...I think I need to work on loosening up the grip a bit. Maaaaybe.

Anyways, allow Cicero to tell you what exactly is going on here. I'm looking for a listener...wait...no...NO...wrong line, sorry. SORRY...I am here to discuss ME!
Yes, of course, me. Who else would this be but me? Interesting that you ask, really. I could talk about me all day if I had too, but the fool of hearts is busy as it is...Thank. You. Very. Much.
As I was saying: I was alone, tending mother as usual, when an idea came to mind. Why haven't I posted my picture? After all I'm a stickler for photographs....get it? STICK HER....AHAHAHHAAAAHAHHAAAA.....Ah, I just slay me.....

Why does poor Cicero need to post his photos? Well...Why shouldn't I? It just doesn't seem fair to keep in the shadows when that dreadful SHEEP DOG owned two twitter accounts and the undead child, a facebook page. The least of the burden could be a few, harmless photographs of sweeeeet ciiiiicero!
So I will stop talking and let you gawk, at the FOOL OF HEARTS!

(HAHA! Anywho, I attempted this look before and like I mentioned...I didn't like it. Not one bit because I didn't feel I captured him as the sadistic arsehole he is....but I am happy to say I am pleased now! Yes...This is in FACT a character Transformation!)

 

the products I used was:

>ELF eyeshadows in Brown/Black/White/Yellow/Red/Grey

>Liquid Black Eyeliner from Wet N Wild

>Red Lipstick by Jordana

>black and brown pencil liners

>Clown White for highlights (just a tad)

Extras:

Hazel contacts

Hat (by me)

Black Gloves (by me)

Copper Wig

 "Maddness is merry, Merriments might...when the jester comes calling with his knife in the night!"

 

 "Need to oil Mother soon. Get all the hard-to-reach places."

 

"...when I next meet that fair maid Nelly, I'll plunge my knife into her belly..."

"Is there singing in the Void? Dancing? Surely the Dread Lord will at least allow poor Cicero to caper..."

That is all...That jazz!
