Make-up

Make-up looks good. Try painting the outer ends of your eyebrows to go up instead of down to really capture the look. They're a bit light in my icon but you can see there what I'm talking about.

Noted and will try on my second test a lil before my first event in April.
 
Two other points:

1) Grow the beard back and paint it black. My goatee is back and will be making its first Stone Elf appearance at the HQ opener.

2) Don't forget to paint your neck (and any exposed flesh) or else cover it with something.

*nods* Understood just didn't want to waste make-up on test runs. And I'm done with face hair as it's not winter hehe.
 
Woohoo! Amelia made a Ren cartoon avatar! The Stone Elf avatars are taking over now!!!! LOL

Then again, you could always pluck them so they'll look more natural, and "just right".

:D :) :lol: :roll: ;) :? :D :lol: :roll: :o

I'll look into that but showing up to work one day with full eyebrows and thin lines that stop suddenly is not something my close minded town understands. :roll:

I shave the outer edge of my eyebrow, just a bit, then paint in the upturn.

Always willing to go that extra step to provide suspension of disbelief. :D

How are the eyebrows in this set of pics?

The lil patch of hair on the chin is for you...and I got a turtle neck.






 
Looks good.

I like doing my eyebrows a little more delicately than you did. I try as best I can to get the black only on my eyebrow hair and not on the skin. Then I do the upturn in light strokes to make it look as much like it grew that way as I am able.

In the HQ forum you can see some nice pics of me with my polearm and Ren with her new hat, as well as a lot more from our season opener. Pics courtesy of Ren/Amelia's mom, NPC extraordinaire!

would you happen to know the name of that thread?

and I think most of that is my eyebrow hehe

*edit: Found the thread with your pics.
 
Nice! The beard looks great, too.
I second Mike's suggestion to thin the brows out. Also, try blending the eyeshadow into the white a bit more towards the outer corner of the eye. In these pics the dark drops off kind of abruptly.

Pyro-
The thread is "IG Photo" and it's in the HQ: Out of Game section.

I'll try my best and post more pic of my first event. Thanks.

I linked it in my post. :D
 
Robbie,

Ya look snazzy my friend. Can't wait to see you in a couple of days.

Definitely looks good! Only things I'd change for the final version is thinning the eyebrows out a bit. I like to do the ends of things like that with fine brush, just to point them. Oh, and make sure to white your eyelids. I know it's a pain to do for makeup tests, but in the final it goes miles towards keeping suspension of disbelief by not having a jarring bit of skin color in the middle of your face. :D

Great, now you've got me wanting to bring Shin to Chicago just so I can play with his makeup. :mrgreen:
