Art Feature - 4/17/12

As an artist I enjoy not only creating but viewing great art. Occasionally I'll stumble upon a picture that just completely blows me away and I'm just like "gosh I HAVE to share this!" And so, today, I will feature this:


Other Mother by ~ToxicTenshi on deviantART

Those of you who have seen the movie Coraline will probably recognize this character--the delightfully creepy "other mother". When I first saw this I was just shocked--I could hardly believe that it's an actual person in a costume. The lighting is positively wonderful and the makeup is incredible. Kudos to the photographer, cosplayer, and the makeup artist*.

*Note: I am unsure if the cosplayer/photographer and makeup artist are the same person or not, a lot of times I see one person doing more than one job on these sorts of pictures.
